Imagine that light is a song that you compose. To make it as harmonious and atmospheric as possible, it needs different and above all gentle tones.

Rooms radiate cosiness not only thanks to furniture, but also through balanced lighting conditions. The latter is achieved with luminaires with a wide palette, ranging from a lively beam to a soft golden shimmer. You can enhance the effect with a few styling tricks.

1. illuminate evenly

2. make sure that nothing dazzles

Choose dimmable light sources that disappear behind the lampshade or can be concealed: Lamps that have a swivelling shade can be aligned with the wall, for example. You are particularly flexible if you opt for smart lighting systems where you can control the brightness.

3. choose warm colours
