How does light change the colours in a room? It reveals what we’ve actually chosen 

When choosing colours for our home, we pay attention to the shade of the walls, the colour of the kitchen units, the flooring and the fabric on the sofa. We often look at samples in the shop, compare them by the window and try to imagine how they’ll look in the finished interior. However, there’s one more element that can completely change this effect – light. We discuss how lighting affects the perception of colours, materials and, ultimately, the entire interior, based on a conversation with Katarzyna Przybyła, an expert at Nowodvorski. As she emphasises, light is not merely an accessory to the interior design. It is light that allows us to see colours and materials in a specific way.

At what height should a light fitting be hung? A practical guide from Nowodvorski 

A light fitting can be one of the most important elements of interior design. It catches the eye, creates atmosphere and, of course, provides light. However, even the best-chosen light fitting will not fulfil its purpose if it is hung in the wrong place or at the wrong height. We spoke to a Nowodvorski expert – Katarzyna Przybyła, an interior lighting designer – about how to choose the correct height for hanging lamps in different rooms. Thanks to her tips, you’ll find it easier to avoid glaring light, unnecessary shadows and other problems that often only become apparent once the lamp has been fitted.

The Fourty Round lamp, winner of the Red Dot Award – a glimpse behind the scenes

Good design does not happen by chance. Behind every refined product lies a process full of testing, technological decisions and the consistent development of a single idea. This is precisely how the Fourty Round lamp came into being – a product that won the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026, one of the most prestigious accolades in the world of design. The international jury recognised the combination of striking form, functionality and quality of craftsmanship. The Fourty Round demonstrates that modern decorative lighting can both create an interior atmosphere and meet users’ everyday needs. However, this is not just a story about an award. Above all, it is a story about the design process, technology and a thoughtful approach to light.
