Do floor and ceiling lights need to match exactly?

No, they don't need to match exactly. We recommend matching the finish, shade style, or overall design theme. Keeping one element consistent helps create a pulled-together look while allowing for variety.

How tall should floor lamps be?

Most floor lamps should be 130-180cm tall. We recommend choosing heights based on their use - taller lamps (165-180cm) work well for overall lighting, while shorter lamps (130-165cm) are better for reading beside seating.

Should all my light fixtures be the same colour?

No, they don't all need to be the same colour, but we recommend maintaining consistency. Choose one main finish (like brass or black) for larger fixtures, then you can mix in one additional accent finish. The key is to make the mix look intentional rather than random. Matching all metal finishes is the safest approach, but mixing can add more visual interest when done thoughtfully.

How to mix and match lighting in an open floor plan?

We recommend lighting in open floor plans to define different zones while maintaining a cohesive interior plan for your lighting. Keep ceiling fixtures in the same finish family throughout the space, but vary the styles to suit each area's function. Use floor lamps to create intimate seating areas, and ensure fixtures are scaled appropriately for ceiling height. Choose a consistent colour temperature for all bulbs to tie the lighting together.

Can I use LED bulbs in both fixture types?

Yes, you should use LED bulbs in both floor and ceiling lights. Choose the same colour temperature (we suggest 2700K for warm light or 3000K for slightly crisper light) to ensure the lighting looks consistent throughout your room.
