Libra season (September 23 – October 22) ushers in an air of harmony, beauty, and balance. Represented by the scales, Libras are guided by a love of fairness, connection, and refinement. They are natural aesthetes, drawn to spaces, objects, and experiences that feel elegant and well-composed. Libras thrive in environments where peace and partnership take centre stage, and they have an intuitive eye for what brings joy and symmetry into a room. With charm, grace, and a gift for making others feel at ease, Libras infuse their relationships — and their homes — with warmth and thoughtful care.

We’re fascinated by the curious ritual of reading and how creating time and space to read can be an anchor in our days. We take five minutes with actor & writer Minnie Driver to discuss the importance of reading in her life. The topics of conversation jump from Minnie’s idyllic reading deck at home to her favourite bookshop in the world, from deciding what to read next, to the book she feels most understood by. For someone whose work centres around stories and how we tell them, Minnie sees reading as a way to live many more lives than the one we find ourselves in.

For this Best of Lighting edit, we’re focusing on pieces that do more than just illuminate, they set the mood. Think soft, warm glows balanced with cleaner, clearer light: lighting that feels comforting. 
The best designs strike that sweet spot between atmosphere and function. Together, they create spaces that feel considered, calm, and quietly uplifting. From sculptural pendants to understated table lamps, each piece has been chosen for its ability to elevate a room without overpowering it.

This week’s moodboard looks to Marty Supreme, a film that’s become a cultural artefact before most people have even taken their seats. In cinemas now, its rollout has set a new benchmark for how movies show up in culture.
For this week’s film moodboard, we’re borrowing from its world of sharp suits, sharp wit, and scenes that unfold over a perfectly poured drink. Think clean-lined martini glasses, silver platters, and tableware that leans polished and pared-back. Bring a slice of Marty Supreme’s after-hours energy home with our latest edit.

The secret isn’t more lighting, it’s softer lighting, placed with intention, and switched on before the evening goes grey. Boutique hotels have a particular kind of magic. You walk in and everything feels calm. The sofa looks inviting. The corners are warm. Nobody is being blasted by a ceiling light. Even the air seems better lit. And then you get home and your living room is… fine. Technically. But it doesn’t have that low, flattering glow that makes you want to order olives and speak quietly. It’s either dim and a bit sad, or bright in a way that makes you feel like you should be cleaning. The good news is you don’t need to redesign your living room to get that boutique hotel feeling. You just need to borrow their lighting rules - the ones they’ve been quietly perfecting for years.

Light Like a Hotel

A quiet hour, a cup of tea, and a few simple materials - ribbon, paper, tin - can change how a space feels. Embossed tin shapes catch the light; paper stars, strung into loose garlands, brighten a room without much effort. Small, handmade details like these make a home feel festive in a way that’s personal and relaxed. These are some of the ideas we’ve seen trending this season.

We’re fascinated by the curious ritual of reading and how creating space to read can be an anchor in our days: something to look forward to; a way of resting; a way of learning about ourselves and the world. We take five minutes with author and journalist Elizabeth Day to explore the art of creating the perfect reading corner: somewhere cocooning and comfortable where you can feel connected to home while you allow yourself to disappear into another world for a few hours. Elizabeth shares the importance of keeping her favourite books physically close to her and why she continues to place reading at the centre of her life.
