Loehill House Lighting Project
Nestled on 66 acres of rolling landscape in Binna Burra, LoeHill House began as a modest cottage that immediately felt like home. Hattie and Adam's design is a unique blend of rustic farmhouse charm with contemporary, eclectic touches. It mixes traditional, cosy elements typical of farmhouse style with more modern, eclectic pieces from various influences, making it feel warm, inviting, and personalised but also fresh and stylish. She focuses on the use of natural materials throughout her home. Timber, Terracotta, Ceramic & Glass feature wall lights are used.

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.
