Let the light in with sheer fabrics

When the days are shorter, the right fabrics can help bring in as much light as possible. Sheer, wide-width fabrics are perfect for maximising natural light while providing a touch of softness. The transparency allows light to flow freely, brightening rooms while creating a serene, airy vibe. Opt for light, neutral shades or soft pastels for a warm yet fresh atmosphere.

Tip: Layer sheer curtains over heavier drapery for a balance of warmth, light, and privacy. This versatile combination is especially effective in spaces like living rooms or home offices where natural light can help improve mood and productivity.

Designing with light: The Luster Collection by Arte

Add a touch of brilliance to your space with reflective materials that catch and bounce light around the room. The Luster collection by Arte, brings a subtle shimmer to your walls with natural capiz shell wallcoverings. These designs have a soft pearly finish that gently reflects light, creating a calm and inviting glow in your winter interiors.

The beauty of the Luster collection is in its ability to transform any room without overpowering it. The light-catching patterns add depth and warmth, shifting beautifully as the light changes throughout the day. Whether used on a feature wall or as a backdrop to other design elements, the soft shine elevates the space, making it feel brighter and more open.

Tip: Complement the luminous effect with metallic sheer drapery or reflective textiles in cushions and throws. Positioned near windows, these fabrics will capture and reflect natural light, filling your space with warmth and creating a welcoming atmosphere

Embrace natural textures for a cosy winter feel

Natural textures like linen, cotton and bamboo not only enhance the wellness aspect of your space but also add a grounded, organic feel to winter interiors. These materials bring a sense of calm, promoting relaxation and wellbeing. The natural fibres work well with sheer fabrics to create layered looks that are both functional and stylish.

Tip: Pair natural-textured fabrics with soft, neutral-toned cushions and throws. A mix of natural and sheer fabrics adds depth and balance to your decor, helping your room feel welcoming and comfortable.
