Light first, then colour, then the room falls into place.
DecorLyte is an independent publication about light in the home: the fixtures, the colour temperature, the layers and the window treatment that decide whether a room feels good. We write for renters and owners in Europe and North America working with the light they have.
Every setup is installed here and lived with for a month. We publish the measured lux at seating height, the colour temperature, the true bill and the things that failed.
What you will find
- Lighting ideas: layers, colour temperature, dimming and the fixtures that earn their cost.
- Colour palettes: paint schedules and how light changes them through the day.
- Window treatments: curtains, blinds, glare and privacy without a dark room.
- Small spaces: brightening deep rooms and awkward layouts.
- Room makeovers: the order to change things in, with a real budget.
- Rental-safe fixes: plug-in lighting, damage-free mounting, removable films.
How we handle money
Some links are affiliate links and some projects use sponsored materials; both are labelled. Payment never buys a verdict, and bought, borrowed and gifted products are tested on the same terms.
