Decorate With Light: How to Light Up Your Home


Decorate With Light: How to Brighten Up Your Home

Do you find it challenging to get the right lighting at home? In this guide, you will get tips on what is important to consider when choosing lamps and light sources for every room in your home.


When choosing lamps and lighting for your home, it is important to consider several factors to create a functional and pleasant atmosphere. First and foremost, the style of the lighting should harmonize with your interior design.


Lighting for your home

The living room is a place where the family gathers and spends a lot of time, so the choice of lighting plays an important role in creating the right atmosphere. Using multiple light sources is often key; start by considering which parts of the room need to be brightened up and let that guide your choices. It is easy to focus on large furniture like the sofa and coffee table, but don't forget the corners of the room. According to Feng Shui, lighting and furniture in the corners contribute to better energy flow, so feel free to place a floor lamp or a table lamp on a pedestal or side table to create a harmonious feel.

A ceiling light is not a must in the living room because the room often does not require strong functional lighting. However, if the space permits, a ceiling light can serve as a beautiful and effective centerpiece. For a modern touch, try hanging two or more ceiling lights at different heights – preferably choose models from the same series but vary the color and size for a dynamic and stylish look.

Feel free to work with different lighting heights to give the room depth. If all items have the same height, the interior risks feeling flat. Challenge the room's dimensions by mounting wall lamps at different heights and placing a table lamp on a stack of books or a pedestal. Small variations in height can make a big difference and are easier to achieve than you might think.

When decorating with lamps in every room of the home, it is important to think about how different types of lighting can interact to create a pleasant and functional atmosphere. By mixing general lighting, task lighting, and mood lighting, you can achieve flexible illumination that works for both everyday life and special occasions. General lighting forms the base and fills the room with an even light – here you can, for example, use a ceiling light or spotlights to distribute light effectively.

In addition to general lighting, it is good to supplement with task lighting in places where you need extra light for specific tasks, such as over the kitchen counter, at the desk, or by your reading chair. A directed light, such as a reading lamp or desk lamp, makes it easier to see details and provides the right light for working or reading.

To create a warm and cozy atmosphere, mood lighting is a key factor. Mood lighting can consist of smaller table lamps, wall lamps, or decorative light sources that provide a softer light and a warmer tone. This not only creates a more inviting feel but also gives you the option to adjust the brightness as needed and create a calm mood in the evening.

Candleholders & Lanterns

Candleholders and lanterns are perfect details for creating a cozy atmosphere in the home. Whether placed on the dining table, windowsill, or out on the patio, they provide a warm and welcoming glow. Candleholders in different heights and materials can easily be combined for a more lively feel, while lanterns are often suitable for both indoors and outdoors to spread a soft light. Choose metal lanterns for an industrial style, or glass for a more classic feel. With the right candleholders and lanterns, you can quickly transform a room and create an inviting mood all year round.

Adapting your lighting to the season is a smart idea. During autumn and winter, darker colors and decorations can provide a cozy feel, while lighter and airier styles suit spring and summer better. The color scheme is also important; candleholders and lanterns can be used to break up monotonous colors or reinforce a specific palette.

Remember to let your personal style shine through in your choice of lighting. Unique or vintage finds can add character and charm to your home. Finally, consider functionality. Do you want to use the candleholders and lanterns for mood lighting or as practical light sources? Make sure they are easily accessible and simple to move if needed.

Bold & Iconic – Eichholtz höst- och vinterkollektion 2026

Bold & Iconic – Eichholtz höst- och vinterkollektion 2026

En ny definition av exklusiv inredning Ikonisk design handlar aldrig om att följa trender, utan om att våga gå sin egen väg. Det börjar med modiga beslut – när traditionella uttryck utmanas, oväntade silhuetter tar form och nya perspektiv får utrymme i våra hem. Med lanseringen av Bold & Iconic i september 2026 presenterar Eichholtz en höst- och vinterkollektion där exklusiv inredning får ett mer uttrycksfullt och personligt formspråk. Kollektionen förenar djärva designval med genomtänkta materialkombinationer och erbjuder allt från skulpturala möbler och dekorativ belysning till inredningsdetaljer med stark karaktär. Kontraster, material och uttrycksfull design I centrum för den nya kollektionen står samspelet mellan kontraster och texturer. Eichholtz kombinerar polerade metaller, handbearbetad sten, taktila textilier och varma träslag för att skapa möbler och inredningsföremål som fångar uppmärksamheten och samtidigt känns tidlösa. Belysningen får en framträdande roll med design som förenar arkitektoniska former och dekorativa detaljer. Takkronan Gwendolyn är ett av kollektionens mest uttrycksfulla inslag. Med en kombination av rökfärgade och klara glasprismor skapas ett varmt ljusspel som framhävs av detaljer i antik mässing. För ett mer geometriskt uttryck presenterar Eichholtz takkronan Georgette, vars sammanflätade mönster hämtar inspiration från en terrakottafris från 1000-talet.   Skulpturala möbler med karaktär Samspelet mellan form och material återkommer även i kollektionens möbler. Soffborden Urbino och sidobordet Brinton visar hur kontrasterande material kan skapa ett spännande visuellt uttryck. Ljusbehandlad ek, natursten och mörka ytbehandlingar möts i möbler som balanserar funktion med ett närmast konstnärligt formspråk. Samtidigt bidrar mjuka, skulpturala silhuetter till en mer ombonad känsla. Fåtöljen Colette och möblerna i Marenzo-serien kombinerar generös komfort med taktila material och genomarbetade detaljer. Resultatet är en kollektion där varje möbel har sin egen identitet, samtidigt som helheten präglas av en sofistikerad balans mellan det uttrycksfulla och det avskalade. The Art of Living – design inspirerad av historien En av säsongens mest framträdande samarbeten är The Art of Living, det fjärde kapitlet i Eichholtz samarbete med The Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York. Kollektionen hämtar inspiration från över 5 000 år av konst, kultur och kreativitet och omtolkar historiska föremål till samtida möbler och inredningsdetaljer. Soffbordet Matthias inspireras av rikt dekorerade brittiska sidobord från 1700-talet. Handkarvad, förgylld furu kombineras med en modern skiva i scagliola, ett dekorativt material som efterliknar natursten. Sidobordet Edgar hämtar i sin tur inspiration från amerikanskt hantverk och den så kallade Empire-stilen som präglade Philadelphia under 1800-talet. Matbordet Papyrus för tankarna till det antika Egypten, där botaniska kapitäl från Amontemplet har inspirerat bordets skulpturala underrede. Genom att förena historiska referenser med modern design skapar Eichholtz möbler som berättar en historia och tillför ett personligt uttryck till hemmet. Exklusiv design för hemmets alla miljöer Eichholtz fortsätter att utveckla sitt sortiment med möbler och inredningsdetaljer som passar både privata hem och offentliga miljöer. I kollektionen återfinns eleganta detaljer för servering och sociala tillfällen, däribland champagnekylaren Prestige XXL i vintage mässing och exklusiva spelset i mocka. Barstolen Beale är ytterligare ett exempel på hur Eichholtz kombinerar klassiska material och genomtänkt design för att skapa möbler som passar lika väl i hemmets bar som i restaurang- och hotellmiljöer. Endless Summer – exklusiv utomhusdesign Även utomhusmiljöerna får ta plats i den nya säsongens sortiment. Med Endless Summer presenterar Eichholtz utemöbler som kombinerar exklusiva material med hållbar design för livet utomhus. Serierna Marenzo och Riverton kännetecknas av vädertålig teak och handflätad konstrotting, material som förenar naturlig karaktär med praktiska egenskaper. Kollektionen är skapad för att sudda ut gränsen mellan inne och ute och förlänga känslan av ett genomtänkt hem till terrasser, uteplatser och andra sociala utomhusmiljöer. Upptäck Bold & Iconic hos Stockton Med Bold & Iconic fortsätter Eichholtz att utforska gränsen mellan konst, design och funktion. Höst- och vinterkollektionen 2026 präglas av modiga silhuetter, exklusiva material och ett formspråk som är skapat för att bestå. Upptäck Eichholtz Bold & Iconic hos Stockton och låt säsongens nyheter inspirera till ett mer personligt och uttrycksfullt hem.

Mappa burl – träslaget som sätter tonen för höstens inredning

Maple burl – the wood species that sets the tone for autumn interiors

There are materials that act as a discreet background in a room – and then there are materials that become part of the expression. Light brown mappa burl veneer definitely belongs to the latter category. With its vivid grain pattern, warm brown tones, and almost marbled appearance, burl wood has become an exciting feature in today's interior design. We see the material on everything from coffee tables and dining tables to bookshelves, chairs, and smaller pieces of furniture – often combined with clean, modern shapes. What is mappa burl? Mappa burl is characterized by its naturally irregular and decorative grain pattern. Unlike traditional wood veneer, where the grain often follows a clearer direction, burl creates a more organic expression with swirls, shifts, and variations across the surface. When the material is used as veneer, the characteristic wood surface can be combined with modern and more minimalist furniture shapes. The result is a fine balance between an expressive natural material and contemporary design. Light brown mappa burl – warm, vivid, and elegant The light brown variant gives the material a softer expression. Shades of beige, caramel, and warm brown meet in a surface that takes on different character depending on how the light hits it. The color palette also makes light brown mappa burl relatively easy to combine with other materials. Cream-colored textiles, natural stone, glass, and warm metals enhance the soft feel, while darker wood species and black details create more contrast. Eichholtz elevates mappa burl A brand that has truly embraced the expression of the material is Eichholtz. In their assortment, light brown mappa burl veneer appears on several different types of furniture, making it possible to incorporate the material into the home in various ways. For those who want to let the material become a clear focal point, there is the Quinton coffee table 3-set, while the Mayfair drinks trolley shows how burl can also be used on a smaller piece of furniture and become a decorative detail in the room. In the dining room, the material reappears in both the Percy dining chair and the Kingsgrove dining table. For larger storage and statement furniture, there is the Quinton bookshelf, while the Aradia armchair offers another way to incorporate the warm wood expression. Together, the furniture pieces show how the same material can return through several parts of the home without the expression needing to be uniform or overly matched. Eichholtz on the material For Eichholtz, it is the natural variations of the mappa burl veneer that make the material so interesting. The vivid grain gives each piece of furniture an organic and expressive look, while the warm tones create a softer and more harmonious impression. In several of Eichholtz's furniture pieces, mappa burl is also combined with soft, neutral textiles – including the Loki Natural upholstery. The contrast between the detailed wood and the calm textile creates the balance between structure, warmth, and sophisticated design that characterizes many of Eichholtz's latest furniture pieces. It is also a combination that fits very well into autumn interior design, where warm wood species, tactile surfaces, and natural tones are given increasing space. Why are we seeing so much burl wood right now? After several years where light and relatively uniform wood species have characterized many Scandinavian homes, we are seeing a greater interest in wood with more character. Grain, structure, and natural variations are welcomed to be visible and become an active part of the design. Here, burl wood fits in well. The decorative surface of the material means that even a piece of furniture with a simple silhouette can have a distinct expression. At the same time, the warm brown tones fit into the broader movement towards more cozy and personal interiors. This does not mean burl everywhere, however. On the contrary, the material is often at its finest when one or a few selected pieces of furniture are allowed to provide the contrast.   How to decorate with mappa burl In the living room, a coffee table in mappa burl can be combined with a sofa in cream, beige, or bouclé. The vibrant wood creates contrast against the calmer textiles without disrupting the color palette. In the dining room, a dining table or a couple of chairs can introduce the material in a more prominent way. Even a bookshelf, drinks trolley, or armchair can serve as an individual statement in an otherwise understated interior. Since the wood surface already has a lot of character, not much else is needed around it. Clean lines, calm textiles, and carefully selected details allow the pattern to come into its own. A material to keep an eye on Light brown mappa burl veneer encompasses much of what we find exciting in interior design right now: warmer brown shades, expressive natural materials, and furniture that is allowed to contribute personality. At Stockton, you will find several pieces of furniture from Eichholtz where the characteristic mappa burl veneer is allowed to take center stage – from smaller accent furniture to dining tables, seating, and storage. Discover Eichholtz at Stockton and let one of autumn's most expressive wood species take its place in your home.

Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 – Konsten att skapa modern elegans

Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 – The Art of Creating Modern Elegance

A new season is taking shape at Artwood. In Autumn / Winter 2026, the brand’s characteristic feel for timeless materials and solid craftsmanship meets a more modern and sophisticated design language. Deep earthy tones, tactile surfaces, and elegant contrasts set the tone for a collection where every detail contributes to the whole. The result is warm and personal environments where comfort, quality, and design are given equal importance.   A color palette for autumn The autumn color scheme moves toward the deeper and more cozy. Brown and beige tones meet darker shades and natural materials to create rooms with warmth and depth. Instead of sharp color contrasts, the focus is on nuances, textures, and materials that together build a harmonious whole. This provides a timeless base that is easy to combine with both existing furniture and new details. Materials take center stage Material choices have long been an important part of Artwood’s identity, and the autumn and winter collection 2026 is no exception. Wood with clear structure, soft textiles, stone, metal, and other tactile materials meet in a well-considered mix. The combination of soft and hard surfaces creates contrasts that bring more life to the interior, while the earthy color palette holds the expression together. It is precisely the interplay between materials that gives the collection its character—natural and relaxed, yet elegant at the same time. Comfort takes its place During autumn, life moves back indoors and the home once again becomes the place where we spend more and more time. This is also evident in Artwood’s new collection. Generous sofas, armchairs, and other seating invite a more relaxed interior where comfort doesn’t mean compromising on design. Soft textiles and generous proportions are balanced by clean lines and thoughtful details. The result is furniture created to be used—and to continue feeling just as natural in the home over time. The details that create the whole A well-considered home is rarely built around a single piece of furniture. It is the combination of different shapes, heights, materials, and details that creates the finished feeling. In Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026, smaller furniture, lighting, and decorative details are therefore given an equally important role. Side tables, lamps, textiles, and objects become tools to create layers and give the room a more personal character. By letting a few carefully selected details take center stage, it is possible to change the feel of a room without redoing the entire interior. Timeless meets modern Perhaps the most distinct feature of Artwood’s autumn collection 2026 is the balance between the classic and the contemporary. The brand’s familiar feel for natural materials and solid quality remains, but meets cleaner silhouettes, sophisticated color combinations, and a more modern expression. This makes the collection easy to combine with different interior styles—from classic and rustic environments to more minimalist and modern homes. Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 at Stockton Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 is a collection for a new season, but with a design language created for considerably longer than that. Natural materials, earthy tones, and generous comfort meet in furniture and decor where quality and details take center stage. At Stockton, you will find the new autumn and winter collection from Artwood along with several of the brand’s timeless classics. Discover Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 and let a new season take its place in your home.
