Our 6-stage approach to transforming your home
Why Use a Lighting Designer?
Lighting your house or garden will have a huge impact on the way you ‘feel’ about it, it will be the difference between creating a ‘house’ or creating a ‘home’. People often struggle to get the balance of light right, to have enough to do the practical tasks, yet the right balance to create mood and atmosphere. They often make the mistake of over-lighting and putting in too many uncomfortable glary downlights that make the house difficult to live in.
As lighting designers, we help you understand the importance of lighting a house and garden with professional consideration. Placing light fittings in the right locations and choosing the right light fitting for the purpose and desired effect is key.
Working with you and the 'design and build' team
A successful design is one which brings together all areas and elements of your house and/or garden project. There are so many aspects of the design and build process that need to be coordinated in order to work seamlessly together.
Working as part of the ‘team’ to ensure the lighting works with the;
> Architecture
> Fabrication of build
> Interior design (style, furniture, kitchen, bathroom/s, stairs, joinery and more…)
…is a key part of our process and one which is imperative to ensure a smooth process and successful outcome.
Mike and Toria advised on the lighting array for a barn undergoing refurbishment. The main barn in particular needed a complete rethink of the lighting design. Mike came up with suggestions which when implemented have given the beams and features a wow factor. The customer care throughout was exemplary and we appreciated Mike's enthusiasm and attention to detail. We have no hesitation in recommending Lighting by Plum
Mike of Lighting by Plum gave us fantastic ideas and support for our house renovation and extension project. We are very happy with the results. The ideas and fittings are much better than what we would have found by ourselves. We love our new house and the lighting is a big part of that. We have recommended them to friends and will continue to do so.
