How to Soften the lighting in your home

According to Chrissie Rucker (founder of The White Company), a lamp can add instant atmosphere to a room - and will make any space feel cosier and more intimate than a solitary overhead light source. Choose designs that work with your overall scheme and don’t feel you have to stick to one style. A tall sculptural floor lamp, such as our new Empire glass floor lamp can transform a dingy corner while a stylish hurricane lamp will add sparkle to a mantelpiece or table top.

Getting the lighting right for a special occasion is very important – it’s worth opting for a dimmer switch if you can as it will allow you to control the light perfectly (you should ask a trained electrician to do this for you). Think too, about highlighting certain elements of a room such as a picture or sculpture with an angled down-lighter to make them stand out.

You can also experiment with different wattage light bulbs. There is nothing worse than a room that is too bright and the more lamps you have the lower wattage you will need. (Chrissies recommends 60 watts as the maximum). For overhead bulbs, choose a great shade to soften the light and again install a dimmer switch if you can.

Magical candlelight

The most ancient form of artificial light, candles have lost none of their magic over the centuries, and at The White Company we love candles - they add instant warmth and atmosphere to a room as well as alleviating stress and lifting your mood.

From giant church candles to thin tapers and mini tea-lights, candles come in all shapes and sizes and their display potential is limitless. A cluster of differently sized candles grouped on a mantelpiece or table top makes a great centrepiece; a pair of votive or container candles look sweet on a dressing table or window ledge: a row of identical columns lined up on a shelf is striking and modern.

If you are not using container candles, think of interesting and unusual homes for them - vintage glasses can be perfect for tea lights and a metal plate just the place for a simple pillar candle. Be inventive, a glass vase filled with dishwasher salt and a handful of white taper candles makes an inspired and eye-catching table-centre.

New Handcrafted Beds - Spring 2009

This season The White Company's bedroom furniture takes inspiration from classic French style, with and exclusive new range of traditional wooden beds made made in Italy and hand-crafted from tulipwood.

The Florence cane bed is the height of elegance and romance in the bedroom, airy, fresh and feminine in style with a touch of vintage heirloom. The Treviso sleigh bed has beautifully subtle curves for a more simplified rustic French-style. Both beds are hand-finished in an eight-stage process to create a gorgeous white brush-paint look.

Classic and timeless, a white wooden bed is perfect for displaying crisp white bedlinen and textural neutral layers in a delicately-hued space, equally comfortable against a splash of colour and pattern.
