Illuminate your projects with timeless techniques and products that bring natural light to the forefront.
Toronto mirror
Natural light is one of the most powerful tools in interior design. It brings warmth, enhances wellbeing, and can dramatically transform the look and feel of a space. Making strategic choices that maximise natural light not only improves the aesthetic quality of a room but also adds long-term value to any project. From mirror placement to thoughtful lighting and the use of reflective surfaces, there are simple yet impactful ways to elevate interiors with light.
One of the easiest ways to enhance natural light in a room is by placing mirrors opposite or adjacent to windows. Mirrors reflect light deeper into a space, making even compact rooms feel larger and more open. We offer a range of mirrors that complement this approach, such as the Toronto mirror. With its arched top and matte black frame, the Toronto mirror adds architectural charm while serving a functional purpose. Available in two sizes, it's a versatile option for living rooms, hallways or bedrooms.
Another excellent option is the Tone mirror, which comes in clear or coloured smoked glass. Its clean, contemporary form and tinted glass can either amplify light or introduce a subtle, atmospheric quality, depending on the finish chosen. Positioned thoughtfully, these mirrors double the visual impact of existing windows and bounce light into darker corners.
Beyond mirrors, light-reflective materials play a crucial role. Our ceramic-topped furniture—such as the Santiago coffee table, Madrid coffee table, Nawabari coffee table, and the Alicante extendable dining table—uses smooth surfaces to naturally reflect daylight. These pieces don’t just contribute to a modern aesthetic; they actively support a brighter, more luminous environment.

One standout example of natural light is our collaboration with On Point Property at Embassy Gardens in Nine Elms, London. This residential project features expansive, full-length windows that maximise the available daylight, creating bright, welcoming living spaces.
To complement this architectural advantage, sheer curtains have been used to soften the incoming light without obstructing it—adding privacy while maintaining openness. The interior palette leans into light and warm tones, with carefully chosen furniture such as the Bergamo sofa and Hamilton dining chairs contributing to the calm, airy feel of the space.
Reflective materials also play a role, most notably the Santiago dining table with its ceramic surface, which helps distribute light across the room. This combination of thoughtful furnishing and natural illumination results in interiors that feel refined, open, and deeply inviting.
Heavy curtains or bulky blinds can undermine a room’s natural light. That’s why we offer made-to-measure curtains and blinds that enhance rather than hinder daylight. Choose from panel, Venetian, roller and vertical blinds, including motorised and app-controlled options for modern smart living.
Curtain fabrics are equally adaptable, with voile, dimout, and blackout options tailored to specific needs. If you’re designing a softly lit lounge or a light-filled workspace, our window treatments come in a variety of colours and finishes, making it easy to complement the wider interior palette.
Natural light varies throughout the day, so artificial lighting should work in harmony with it. The Stockholm table lamp is a great example of how to bridge this gap. With a coloured glass shade and solid marble base, it offers both form and function. Its minimalistic design integrates beautifully into any interior scheme, while its soft glow enhances ambience without overwhelming natural light during daylight hours.
Incorporating layered lighting—such as table lamps, floor lamps, and ceiling fixtures—ensures consistent brightness from morning through evening, all while retaining the visual clarity that natural light brings.
