Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
The festive period - for all its frosts and long nights - is a time of celebration. Our dwellings become the focal point for merrymaking with family and friends, sharing old memories and creating new ones together. It's a time to enhance our homes with treasured decorations and twinkling fairy lights; creating welcoming atmospheres with crackling log fires, aromas of hot mince pies and mulled wine, and the sound of beloved Christmas songs. Beautiful lighting is an integral part of an inviting scheme, giving depth to the room whilst highlighting our cherished pieces.
Table lamps like our ATHENA, with its gleaming tower of brass spheres will sit happily next to bowls of glistening baubles on side tables. While our IMPERIAL table lamps are ideally suited to bedside tables in guest bedrooms to offer a homely welcome. Placing lights in the area next to windows will keep out the gloomy dark evenings once the curtains are drawn. Use picture lights like our INES range to show your prized artwork off to guests and save it from languishing on the fridge door. Floor lamps are an effective way of adding a warm glow to the corners and hallways in our homes. They add height to a layered scheme and can be used as effective task lighting. Imagine the joy of curling up in a comfy armchair with a glass of your favourite tipple under the glow from our CHESTER floor lamp illuminating a good book.
Complementing wall lights can be used to give softer lighting around the room for an inviting ambience whilst tying in with a central pendant. Our iconic ANTLER collection has welcomed some gorgeous additions this season with a new sixteen light CHANDELIER design, the re-introduction of our admired MIRROR and the playful shaded ARTEMIS.The whole collection is available in both our natural rustic highland finish and the more subtle bleached finish. The designs are well suited to many Traditional and Nordic Christmas schemes and the shades on most pendants and the table lamps can easily be updated to tie in with your choice.
The kitchen becomes a focal point during the festive period - even more than usual. Whether it's for chatting while stuffing the turkey and turning the roast potatoes, or for eating nibbles and topping up the champagne during a party, people always tend to gravitate here. Fittings like our ASPEN five light suspension are perfect above islands and provide a well-lit work space for trimming those sprouts! Available to use with either our elegant crimped WAVERLY glass, delicate fluted TYSOE glass or the refined opal DUXFORD glass, this design allows you to devise your own unique look. If colour is more your thing, our curated collection of metal spinnings including the majestic JUBILEE and stylish SCALLOP are available to bespoke in our all new twelve colour paint PALETTE.
If you have been inspired and would like to order some of our handmade fittings, please make sure to get your order in before November 21st to ensure you receive your lights before Christmas.
Our craftspeople and customer service teams are busy creating and delivering our unique lighting ready for the festive season and soon it will be time for a well-earned annual break! The factory and office will be closed from Friday 23rd of December to Tuesday the 3rd of January.
We wish you a joyful and relaxing Winter holiday and a very Happy New Year!
