Who are Lighting By Plum
Independent residential lighting design consultants based in Buckinghamshire with projects located across the UK, with a focus on London and the surrounding Home Counties of; Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex.
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.
Another week and another #teammember for you! Hi, I`m Mike and a Partner here @lightingbyplum !!!
Still, after 10 years, I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of the business but love to problem solve … and focus a lot of my time and attention on everything detailed and technical design.
The most rewarding aspect is that final focus and scene setting alongside our great clients – watching the designed #lightingscheme come to life – as shown in this first picture!
It`s not all work though, I spend weekends with my incredibly active children (tennis, netball, football, rugby, ballet, cricket … the list goes on!), as well as with my lovely girlfriend, Helen.
We`ve currently set ourselves the challenge of walking #theridgeway (picture 2) and when not doing that it`s all running and cycling for me – full on sprint duathlons and trying to qualify for #teamGB (picture 3). We`ll see … and age related of course!

As promised, an interior shot of this fantastic, contemporary #barnrenovation near #amersham #chilternhills … #office and #gym furniture to come, but the lighting is all installed, on and scene set alongside @indigozest using @control4
The #wiro #pendantcluster from @weverducre is positioned over the desk (to come!) and the integrated #linearlighting from @atmosphericzoneltd cleverly frames the windows, doors and openings to add depth and interest.
Really can`t wait to see these spaces fully furnished!

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.
Mike from Plum has transformed my home by producing the most exceptional lighting design. Mike has captured my brief perfectly and designed a beautifully lit space. He has an exceptional talent to create different levels of mood lighting to suit every occasion. I cannot thank him enough for his dedication to the project, professionalism and beautiful design.
Lighting by Plum designed and implemented a stunning lighting scheme for my outdoor space. From concept through to project completion, the whole team were outstanding.
New lights and shades repositioned in five rooms in our retirement flat .The work was done quickly and efficiently and no mess left . The light is now much better and in exactly the right place .
I have worked with Lighting by Plum on various projects. Their technical knowledge, attention to detail and service is excellent. As well as this, Toria has an impeccable eye for design and incorporates lighting beautifully!
Lauren Gilberthorpe
Our company was introduced to lighting by Plum through an Architect. Their work has been outstanding from initial concept design to project management and overall execution of the lighting design. The properties have turned out much better than we first envisaged and a massive thanks for plum for their fantastic design and project management. The properties are high end residential.
Lighting By Plum are our go-to team for all our lighting design services. Their comprehensive service offering allows us, and more importantly our customers, to have beautiful living-spaces that enhance their lifestyles.
What can I say but thanks again. Our house just wouldn't be the same without your lighting ideas and input.
Lighting by Plum was recommended to us. Toria's knowledge and experience was so helpful. She had innovative ideas and we are so pleased with the lighting in our new house. She was always professional but very friendly and reliable.
