ILLUMINATE THE SPACE
These flush contemporary bulkhead lights by Industville work for both interior and exterior spaces. Hand-crafted in aluminium with a smooth gunmetal finish for an industrial-style feel that blends both classic and modern, this style of vintage lighting has become a staple of current industrial design. Place them strategically to cascade light where you need it. Pair with LED Edison filament bulbs to enhance the vintage feel. Recent Industville collaborations include Liberty and Paul’s Parisian bakery.

CREATE A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE
Treat the outdoors like the indoors,” says Christopher Wray MD Chris Jordan. “By using a combination of recessed lighting, decorative lanterns and free-standing decorative floor lamps you’ll be able to create a blended indoor-outdoor dining area that’s perfect for a relaxed atmosphere.” This overhanging Twiggy floor lamp features a round metal base, arched stem and height-adjustable lampshade fitted with 2 LED boards and diffuser for dual effect – choose direct down-light or diffused up-light.

ENHANCE A DINING AREA
Garden lighting has been revolutionized by improved LEDs, which are energy efficient and one of the safest options for the outdoors. These warm white LED bulbs can be clipped to outdoor structures so you can make more of your space in the evening by creating a more intimate setting. They’re 9.5 metres long and the set includes an extension that allows up to 5 sets to be interconnected if you want an easy option for lighting a bigger party space.

INTRODUCE A LITTLE HYGGE
Outdoor spaces used for relaxation and entertaining can be lit in a similar way to indoors with low-level lamps. The calming ambient light of the Carrie lamp adds a little hygge to your patio space. Suitable for using both indoors and out, it comes with a USB charging port so you can move seamlessly around. Designed by Copenhagen’s Norm Architects, it’s made of blown opal glass and powder-coated steel and comes in a range of finishes including burned red and brushed brass.
