What do we do?

We enhance homes by crafting custom lighting schemes tailored to the architecture, interiors, and landscape. Collaborating with clients, architects, and interior designers, we meticulously plan elegant and appealing lighting solutions for new constructions, renovations, and updates to existing lighting schemes.

Why Hire a lighting designer?

Hiring a lighting designer is an investment that can significantly enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your home. Although it may seem like an extra expense, particularly in times of rising costs, the benefits far outweigh the initial outlay. A lighting designer ensures that every corner of your home is illuminated perfectly, providing the right light at the right time and place, and maximising the potential of your space.

One of the key advantages of working with a lighting designer is the ability to highlight and emphasise your interior design investments. High-end architecture and meticulously designed interiors deserve proper illumination to showcase the full beauty you have already paid for. Without expert lighting, even the most exquisite designs can fall flat, limiting their impact and appeal. A well-designed lighting scheme ensures all colours are vividly seen and creates bespoke lighting scenes to match various moods and activities, adding versatility and depth to your home.

Beyond aesthetics, thoughtful lighting design can improve at first seemingly unrelated areas of life. For instance, it can promote better sleep by supporting natural circadian rhythms and removing some of the blue wavelengths in light.

Our designs also allow you to enjoy exterior spaces year-round, enhancing your home's functionality and enjoyment.

Expertise is crucial in lighting design. We excel at understanding your needs, how you will use the space, and ensuring that the lighting scheme works for you for years to come. We employ creative solutions to tackle difficult lighting issues, balancing practicality with the "wow" factor that makes a space memorable. Our designs strike the perfect balance between creating an inviting atmosphere and providing practical solutions, all while maintaining simplicity and elegance.

We add an extra dimension to your space through layered lighting techniques. We collaborate with you, your architect, interior designer, or electrical contractor to achieve cohesive results that go beyond the basic grid of downlights or a central pendant on its own. By using a variety of lighting types, such as wall lights, up lights, strategically placed downlights, and decorative lights, we create a harmonious and dynamic lighting scheme that enhances your home's features.

The best time to involve a lighting designer is right at the beginning of a renovation or new build, allowing for a creative and integrated lighting scheme. Even partial renovations can greatly benefit from bespoke lighting design. We accentuate important features in your space, providing tailored suggestions for showcasing artworks, highlighting architectural details, and illuminating task spaces.

Understanding how different materials and surfaces interact with light is crucial. We consider factors like warmth, brightness, angles, shapes, and shadows to create the best lighting effect. A lighting designer marries technical decisions with aesthetic considerations, ensuring the best outcome for your space.

In addition, we offer smart home integration options, most commonly with Control4. We provide clients with a choice between conventional switches, which are familiar to most and more budget-friendly, or a personalised control system that can be integrated with a wider control system.

We favour the internationally trusted Lutron and the British-made Rako systems, which are simple and easy to use, seamlessly integrating into your space without requiring a fully integrated control system if you prefer. These systems are customised to suit your preferences and lifestyle, enhancing your convenience and ease in changing lighting levels and scenes.

Our approach is customer-focused, offering a choice of control pads and finishes placed thoughtfully throughout your home. We ensure the locations are practical and aesthetically pleasing while also being budget-conscious. Programming the system is an integral part of the design process, enabling us to create customised scenes for your every need, delivering the full potential of the design from paper to the final product and maximising the functionality of your lighting system.

Whether you're renovating, building from scratch, or extending, hiring a lighting designer is the right move. Early planning ensures seamless integration of lighting into your project. Our work complements that of your interior designers and architects, enhancing the overall design and providing lighting options that elevate features, fittings, and colour schemes. Don't settle for a basic lighting scheme—invest in expert lighting design to unlock the full potential of your home.
