Light layering is the art of planning illumination so it breathes life into the furniture and textures of a space. Done well, it settles you the moment you walk in — the ease of checking into a good hotel. Here's a guide to bring to your lighting advisor.

Start with a Clean Base — Ceiling Lights
Recessed luminaires like the Halo V2, Isa V3® and Line Mini have graced thousands of homes — minimalist and discreet with dimmable, Dim-to-Warm or Tunable White technologies built in.
Tip: The right technology depends on how a room is used and who lives in it. Ask your lighting advisor how to tailor each luminaire to your day-to-day.
For something more playful, the Boba series brings whimsy to the ceiling — surface-mounted or on track. Mix and match with a wide range of designs and forms until the room feels like yours.

Corridors, Reconsidered
Corridors get walked through, rarely lived in. They don't have to be. The Gypsum Boba turns a plain ceiling or wall run into something worth looking up for — playful without trying too hard. Its finish sits flush with the surface, more architecture than fixture, until it's switched on and the shape reveals itself. Placed the length of a corridor, it stops being a pass-through and starts being part of the house.

Layer with Accents — Wall Lights
The Blobby wall series reads like candlelight — soft, romantic forms against the wall, perfect for an entrance that asks to be noticed. Its sleek silhouette leans elegant, while Gold and Gunmetal finishes carry an industrial edge. Refined rawness, more character-filled than polished that’s made for a design-first home.
Pressed series is for those who want a little more design in their luminaires — decorative without giving up performance, at home even in a powder room. Each glass, whether diffused or waffle-textured, opens a range of styling options for the home.
Layer them together for a more artistic, considered wall.
