Australian Home Beautiful – August 2019

BATHROOM & LAUNDRY

HIGH AND DRY

Due to laundries being

susceptible to high

humidity and dust,

Lucretia Lighting’s

Holly suggests

choosing a durable

shade material

such as aluminium

or steel – easy to

wipe clean – over

fabric or rattan.

KEEP IT CLEAN For ease of maintenance

opt for a glass, plastic or metal-finished light.

“The beauty of glass or crystal shades is it

allows light to filter into the space and adds

a little bling,” says Amy of Special Lights.

CONSIDER YOUR

SPACE Know your

space, says Lights

Lights Lights’ Danielle.

“Take into account

the size of the room,

ceiling height, reflective

surfaces and the

required light output,”

she says. “This will help

determine the best fit

in terms of pendant

style and functionality.”

POWER IN

NUMBERS “I love

hanging a cluster of

pendants at different

heights off to the side

of the vanity (as seen

in this SJS Interior

Design space) for

an unexpected,

asymmetrical look,”

says Mint Lighting

Design’s Adele Locke.

MINIMISE

SHADOWS Hanging

a pendant either side

of the vanity mirror

is chic and practical.

To minimise shadows,

hang the pendant

at face height and

choose a style such

as glass that can

diffuse light evenly,

suggests Amy.
