Highly modern home interiors look crisp in the bright light of day, but how does the sharp aesthetic translate into cosy evenings spent at home or dreary days? In the case of this pair of modern interiors, visualised by Hilight Design, soothing lighting changes the atmosphere into something very special. Diffused halos soften contemporary form, and bring warming glow to cool black and grey colour schemes. Perimeter lighting wraps rooms like a warm hug, whilst an unusual selection of pendant lights introduce an eye catching strong sculptural element. We’ll also explore placement of colourful accent furniture within these two interiors, along with a revitalising inclusion of lush living greenery to uplift darker decor moments.
