Primary Palettes

27 February 2026

How primary colours influence mood and emotion in interior design...

From sunshine yellows brightening our spirits to dark, stormy blues creating a moody atmosphere, colours can evoke feelings - often without us consciously realising.

Therefore, the way we incorporate colour into our home design is incredibly important for a myriad of reasons, whether that’s the purpose of the room, how much natural light there is, or simply, because it makes us happy.

This year, we’re seeing a return to play, with nostalgic childhood hues being elevated to a more grown-up palette. Think bold reds turning to shades reminiscent of a glass of wine or greens with more of a sophisticated edge.

For us at Tom Raffield, nostalgia goes hand in hand with visits to the Cornish coast, culminating in our Cove Lighting Range where we’ve been inspired by Cornwall's hidden coves, as familiar forms take on a new radiance.

Dive into coastal colour and reinvigorate your space with our collection of statement lighting in elevated primary colours.

Available in environmentally friendly shades of Falmouth Blue, Ember Red, Sea Glass Green, Shell Pink and Chalk White in our traditional steam bent wood, this is childhood nostalgia redefined.

The Cove Skipper Pendant is hand-shaped to create a unique shade that casts light out and up, becoming a vibrant focal point. Opt for Ember Red for grown up sophistication or Shell Pink for understated luxury.

Playful shapes and joyful hues go hand in hand, making the Cove Archer Table Light the perfect addition to any room or tabletop. Falmouth Blue pays homage to the Cornish waters while an arch in Ember Red exudes effortless elegance.

For spaces that require only a slice of playful colour, our Cove Mooring Floor Light is ideal in its simplicity. Handcrafted in sustainably sourced solid wood, the steam bent curve arched up from its round base, completed with a single bulb to halo out light. Liven up a reading nook or add ambience to your living space with a pop of Sea Glass Green.

Bring a touch of the chalky sands of Cornwall into your home and go classic with a Cove Skipper Wall Light in Chalk White. Illuminating, pristine and classically beautiful, the shade offers a touch of tradition to an otherwise bold design. Featuring undulating loops of timber, overlapping to create our signature curves, this wall light has been thoughtfully designed to produce golden light amongst eye-catching shadow effects in equal measure.
