This week’s backyard reveals were moody, modern and seriously refined. Emma and Ben went bold inside and out, their wine room pairing warm timber with black accents and Nevada II track lighting for an intimate feel. Britt and Taz created the ultimate alfresco hangout with Festoon II string lights draped near the fireplace, and Robbie and Mat balanced strong lines with soft light, using MFL Tanimi wall lights to wash their dark façade in warmth. 

This week’s reveals were anything but ordinary - from moody cladding to bold outdoor kitchens, the teams really brought the wow factor. Robby and Mat took out the win with a sleek, functional alfresco complete with Wanaka wall lights over the barbecue. Emma and Ben’s Sentinel wall brackets added a soft, cocooning glow to their timber deck, while Britt and Taz amped up the drama with Nevada spotlights highlighting their striking wall of art. 

Five completely different looks prove there’s more than one way to style a rumpus room! Han and Can drew the eye upward with recessed MFL strip lighting, making their ceiling a real feature. Robbie and Matt created a calming oasis with bright neutrals and light wood, perfectly complemented by the Copenhagen lamp, while Emma and Ben’s contemporary eclectic space was warm and layered, using Nevada spotlights and the Eton floor lamp. 

Kitchen lighting goals right here! Robby and Matt went with the Alana pendant - a modern twist on a traditional candelabra that’s sculptural and elegant. Britt and Taz’s kitchen is party-ready with the perfect mix of timber, stone, and that sleek Avenue LED bar. And Emma and Ben kept it sleek with the Strix III linear pendant - precise, minimalist, and the perfect finishing touch to their warm, contemporary kitchen.

We loved this week’s living and dining reveals on The Block, where the teams proved that great lighting is not always about the fixture itself, but the atmosphere it creates. House 3 nailed the art of texture, with raw dining chairs balanced by the soft glow of the Calido linen flare shade – creating a space that feels inviting, layered, and stylish enough to settle into for hours. Over in House 5, the team went bold – the Alana 9-light brass pendant stole the show, its sculptural form commanding the living space while washing the room in warm, welcoming light that amplified every detail.

It was all about texture and contrast this week! Emma and Ben set the mood, using rich colourways and warm neutrals paired against a set of Fjord black pendants. Britt and Taz added softness and sculptural charm with the Lora lamp, its pleated shade casting a gentle, ambient glow. Meanwhile, Robbie and Matt turned up the drama with the Abacus pendant, a sculptural trio of glass orbs that adds striking verticality, rhythm, and presence to their space.

Han & Can took out the win with a space that balanced charm and calm. The peach shiplap wall and curved basins felt soft yet distinctive - perfectly paired with our Luella wall lights in warm brass. Meanwhile, Britt & Taz kept things light and bright with a neutral palette that simply glows. Their space heroed the Traviato wall sconce in travertine, paired with LED strip lighting for added warmth – the natural texture working seamlessly with the rest of the room.

Teams nailed the brief this week, finding the perfect balance between sophisticated design and creating magical spaces. The winning team Britt and Taz placed the Frida gypsum table lamp into their kids' space, providing a unique silhouette.

And we love the use of the Jaxon table lamp - Sonny and Alicia created an inspired space using deep blues, timber, and heritage equestrian portraits - the bronze in the lamp is the perfect feature! And finally in house 5, Robbie and Mat place Mulberry clay table lamps on the bedsides, creating another layer of light with the Bennet floor lamp.

The Block’s first reveals brought plenty of wow factor - and it was Robby and Mat who took out the win! They featured the Kings wall bracket, paired with the LEDlux Custom tri-colour downlights and subtle strip lighting under the cabinet and the result was layered, luxe and functional. 

Strip lighting was a hit this week, with Sonny and Alicia also installing it under their vanity and above the mirror. Paired with a Beacon favourite - the award-winning Chameleon (the world’s first customisable wall light design that incorporates a tile!). What a phenomenal start to the 2025 season!
