Tips and ideas to decorate your bedroom.

A romantic set up for your room.

Bedroom colours according to science Studies show thatcolours affect our mood and mindset. We were inspired to put the theories intopractice. We can’t promise better sleep but we guarantee some calm for yourbedroom.

Your living room has to work hard. One minute it's host to movie marathons and the next transformed into a place for reading, homework and intensely competitive board games. That means there quite a few factors to consider when looking for living room lighting ideas.

In general, living rooms tend to require three types of lighting ideas: accent, task and ambient (overhead). But within those basic requirements, you are pretty much free to play fast and loose with your lighting.

Keep it simple with contemporary lighting.

Simple designs can often be the most striking in a modern living room, so go all out on dramatic shapes and unusual fixtures. Arc floor lights, with their elegant silhouettes and bulbous shades, are a modern classic, plus they are a great stand-in for overhead lights.

Soften the edgeswith warm wall lights.

Creating a warm, even glow around the edges of your room is key, especially if you are working with a north-facing living room. Wall lights will bounce light back into the room, making it feel cosier and giving the room more depth than overhead lights.

They are also a good option if you have a small living room because they won’t take up any precious square footage or clutter surfaces.

Traditionalliving room? go for ornate sconces.

Wall lights don’t have to just blend into the background, if you prefer a traditional style in your living room opt for something more decorative. We love how the intricate design of this oak inspired wall light from Neptune fits perfectly in this simple grey living room.

Make astatement with mid-century modern designs.

Want to get that Mid-century modern look in your living room? Invest in a standout chandelier or statement pendant light. Anything with oversized round bulbs and a sculptural design will inject that Mad Men vibe into your living room..

Low ceilings? Fear not, this Global Pendant from Made.com makes a bold statement but won’t touch the floor when you hang it.
