Explore our Autumn lighting ideas to bring warmth, texture, and timeless design into every corner of your home.
Highlight the Beauty of Golden Hour
One of the many delights of Autumn is golden hour, the magical time of day when the sun begins to set, the light softens, and golden tones add warmth. You’ll see flecks of red and brown appear, casting a rich, earthy glow. Inside the home, beautiful pockets of light emerge where shadows fall and leaves dance gently across the walls, carried by the breeze. It’s almost like watching a living piece of art, one that changes subtly every day.
Thankfully, our handcrafted lighting makes it possible to recreate the warmth and wonder of the golden hour long after the light fades. Designed to reflect the beauty of nature, each piece captures the same depth and softness you see just before sunset.
To mimic the movement of light as the night draws in, introduce the Verso Small - Stem Floor Light into your space. It’s flowing, sculptural curves gently diffuse illumination in a way that feels both calming and uplifting. Place it in a reading nook or let it glow softly from the corner of a room to bring warmth into quieter areas of your home
If you’re drawn to bolder tones, the Cove Skipper Pendant in Ember Red is a perfect choice. Its rich, vibrant red hue mirrors Autumn’s fiery palette, ideal for creating a welcoming atmosphere in dining areas or living spaces. It adds not only light but a sense of energy and colour that carries the vibrancy of sunset into the night.
For subtle sophistication, consider the Arame Wall Light. Its delicate, architectural form casts intricate shadows that shift gently with the light, much like leaves moving in a soft breeze.
The Arame is a beautiful way to add depth and artistry to a wall, while creating that same play of movement and shadow that makes golden hour so captivating.
Layered Light and the Magic of Dimmers
Once you’ve captured the soft glow of golden hour indoors, the next step is to build on the ambience through layered lighting. Just as natural light changes throughout the day, your home’s lighting should be flexible enough to shift with your mood, activity, and the time of evening.
Layering light is all about combining different sources, pendant lights, wall lights, and table and floor lamps to create depth and balance. Instead of relying on a single overhead light, think of your space in zones, areas for focus, warmth, and relaxation. A well-lit home isn’t just about brightness alone; it’s about creating the right mood at the right time.
This is where dimmers work their quiet magic. By adjusting light levels, you can transform a room’s energy instantly. Read on here to find out more about the possibilities of dimmers.
Every room benefits from a thoughtful, layered design scheme, especially open-plan living spaces, where many naturally gather throughout the evening. A well-considered layered lighting scheme begins with a statement piece, a striking pendant light positioned at the centre of the room or above the dining table. The sculptural, arched form of the Morna Pendant brings radiance and balance, helping to anchor the overall design scheme.
From there, introduce pockets of light to build depth and softness. Well-placed table lamps, such as the Artus Table Light add a gentle, warming glow while casting mesmerising patterns of shadow, perfect for adding texture and interest to quieter corners of the home.
Finally, complete the look with wall lighting. The Urchin Wall Uplighter introduces another layer of subtle illumination, adding texture and visual interest as warm light pools gently against the walls. Together, these layers create warmth and balanced light, transforming your space as you welcome the new season.
