I wanted to pay homage this week to Amanda Celeste, who earlier this year wrote a fantastic article about the role of texture and light in interiors, with reference to colour theory.
Her article is particularly poignant for me, working with both texture and light.
"Light-reflective textures such as silk, paints with a sheen, glazed, or
glossy finish and as mentioned mirrors and metals bounce light around
the room."

"Colours can look brighter, stronger and possibly even lighter when seen
on reflective surfaces such as glass, mirror and metals. Our perception
of a colour’s temperature can also alter under different lighting, at
different times of day and when seen in relation to other colours"

These examples show how metal can reflect light and brighten dull walls. The metal surfaces transform throughout the day with the changing light, which has the added benefit of creating a different mood and atmoshpere with each change in light.
