Illuminate your space


Candles are one of the easiest, inexpensive and stylish ways to change the look and mood of one’s home décor. They don’t just illuminate a space, but can be as decorative as artwork complimenting styles and personalities. Candles are a beautiful accessory that adds ambience and drama to a room, while bringing a sense of occasion to ordinary moments.

Our Green Living candles are the perfect match for adding romance and fragrance to a room. In stunning crystal vintage glass cups, these eco friendly scented candles are made from pure soy wax and fragrance oils. Whether used around the bath or as a side table piece, these candles will certainly tickle your senses. For something bold, our range of VOODOO candles come in a range of colours and make a statement for those that are daring.

For indoor and outdoor table settings, our candleholder Hampton Lantern and Long Island Lanterns collections make an elegant and understated centrepiece for all occasions. Alternatively, create your own candle display with our Lexington Mirror Tray, by adding an assortment of candles with your favourite scent. Add vases for a sculptural effect. 

Embrace your senses.

Spectacular & Sophisticated


Don’t settle for ‘mainstream’ when it is just as easy to create spectacular displays to electrify the atmosphere of your living space, and impress your family and guests.

Consider stepping outside the norm and start experimenting with bold shapes and colours to turn your modest home into a grand residence. Instead of using plain and mainstream furniture pieces – indulge in something simple but striking to amplify flare in your living space but avoiding extremes. We recommend using bedside or side tables with bold designs such as our Alondra Side Table.

A clever play on lighting can help strengthen and intensify focus to your display feature. We love teaming lighting pieces with reflective surfaces.  Although this technique is very easy, we should remember that complex design is vital in turning something basic into something special. A spectacular mirror piece has the capacity to transform a small glow into a magnificent radiance.  Our Rossano Wall Mirror celebrates bold character and sophistication with its unique and edgy design.
Table lamps, like our Zari Lamp Base Torin BlackShade, are also a perfect way of achieving both reflection and glow with the use of only one piece.

Grey is the New White


Celebrating mild shades of grey has become the latest trend in interior design however, it is vital that this shadowing colour does not restrict your space.  Unlike popular white interior trends, depth and shading can be achieved through this new colour scheme. Grey and cream palettes present a more elegant and sophisticated feel to a room without neglecting the need for neutrality.

Lighting is essential to executing this colour scheme as the continuous spread of ‘shading’ throughout your home can create a restricting effect. Consider maximising your space with lighting and reflective surfaces.  Table lamps are a great way of creating a magnificent, uprising glow amongst a sea of shading. We recommend pieces like our CascadeTable Lamp and our Ada Table Lamp, which complement this luxurious colour scheme.

Reflective surfaces are easy to integrate into your decor and create a wonderful spacious effect. We love our new Banks Occasion Table and Octavia Mirror. Lastly, consider using small portions of white coloured decor like our Minx Temple Jar to brighten and complete your home.

Squares and Stability


Simple shapes and lines may seem basic, but are the key to achieving stability without neglecting creativity.
The repetitive use of square and rectangle shapes in your interior design can express positive feelings of comfort and rationality. However, this technique alone can become plain and boring. Consider different textures, patterns and a small palette of colours to create a subtle hint of flare. Our range of cushions provides an easy way of presenting these important varieties whilst celebrating the simplicity of square shapes. We recommend mixing up some of our natural designs such as our Cape White or Square Black cushions, with some of our more frivolous and extravagant Fenton Red and Ashanti designs.

Series of congruent shapes are a perfect way of leading the eye. This can range from shapes presented in the architecture of a hallway, to the presentation of elegant decor pieces. Our Lexington Mirror Tray is a perfect way to optimise the use of this congruent technique.

Horizontal Lines can reiterate feelings of stability within your design, but can also add vital elements of breadth.  Lines can be created by placing square or rectangular decor or furniture together to visually expand your living space. Additionally, try aligning repetitive and alike wall art, such as beautiful pieces from our Bally or our Couture collection, to evoke feelings of movement, momentum and breadth.
