The right lighting fixture holds surprising – and not to be underestimated – power. Certainly, if you’ve ever entered a room, seen the overheads and promptly developed a migraine, you might recognise that not all lighting is created equally. Lighting is the difference between the room that compels you, sets an atmosphere and a tone for a space. It demarcates the room that is built for focusing (the home office in which to navigate those important work calls) from that intended as a sanctuary (the personal library, set up for lounging with dog eared paperbacks and half-drunk cups of tea). A well-chosen fixture can invite you to feel a certain way about the chamber it brings to light. 

It’s called mood lighting for a reason, after all. 

In fact, it’s so important according to interior designers. Tolù Adẹ̀kọ́, founder of ​​Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co., says that ‘it’s impossible to appreciate a good interior without good lighting to bring it to life.’ 

In particular, Tolù loves feature lighting: ‘feature lighting is perfect for embellishing a room: fixtures such as decorative pendant lights add visual interest and centre the space,’ he says, ‘and when we pick ceiling lights at ​​Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co., we look for the unexpected – in order to heighten the mood and create drama.’

‘In 2023, we’re favouring fusions of metal finishes and textures, with blown glass, crystals and alabasters to enhance ambiance.’
