Green & Blue
The allure of airy and watery hues continues to captivate. Blue is remarkably versatile — it can cool a space with a refreshing touch or add warmth and grounding depending on how it is used. Bringing the colour of the outside in is one of the most considered ways to refine and enhance a living space.
Green remains a firm favourite in interior design. From sage ceramics to the rich depth of deep emerald, this versatile colour complements nature-inspired decor beautifully. Explore soft aquas, moody teals or earthy greens, these tones bring a calm, natural energy to interior spaces.
2026 Lighting Buyers Guide
In 2026, lighting has evolved beyond pure function to become the defining "jewellery" of the home — with tactility, sculptural form, and emotional well-being at the forefront of design thinking. Our expert team's 2026 Lighting Buyers Guide covers the key trends, materials, and technical considerations to help you make confident choices for every room.
This year's dominant aesthetic is "Functional Art" — pieces that serve as striking focal points even when switched off. Standout movements include hand-blown organic glassware with wabi-sabi imperfections, a Mid-Century Modern revival with living brass finishes, bold Brutalist forms, and a growing celebration of local Australian design. Leading materials include aged brass, natural fibres like rattan, and translucent alabaster and stone.
Room by room, the guide recommends a layered lighting approach, with expert advice spanning kitchen linears, bedroom warmth, exterior accent lighting, and the technical essentials — smart integration, CRI ratings, and flexible track systems.
