Send us a text

Feeling odd? It’s probably the lighting. 

Have you ever flipped the switch on in a room only to find it feeling odd, but you’re not quite sure why? It’s probably the lighting – badly planned!

Well planned lighting is one of those things that will give your project that considered feel – it’s that intangible element - where the space has a beautiful atmosphere and you just feel automatically relaxed and comfortable in it. Of course you want ambience, but the lighting also has to be functional for those daily tasks.

To achieve both you need to start thinking about your lighting plan very early in the renovation process, I speak to many people who have completed home renovations and who regret not planning their lighting better, and earlier, in the process. 

I always suggest starting to think about the lighting at the very beginning of the project, ideally at the stage the plans are being drawn up, because once your spaces are defined on paper, it will give you the opportunity to start imagining how you will use the space. 

In this episode we’ll cover not only when it’s best to start planning your lighting, but also how – I’ll give you seven things you can do and consider for a functional, ambient and flexible lighting plan.

Join me inside as I shed some light on the topic!  😉
