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.

As we head into the weekend, this week's #PlumPerspective more than speaks for itself!
These accents of light really help to create that 'wow' and often bring in a much needed lower level of light for a relaxed mood and ambiance.

Mini down lights from @orlunaled

Another shot of this gorgeous #poolhouse #renovation. This time focusing on the relaxed #living and TV space… our #lightingscheme consists of;
@lightgraphix #ld51 #minispotlights to create beautiful scallops of up light
@atmosphericzoneltd #ledtapelighting which has been cleverly integrated in the existing #timberbeam structure, highlighting the height and #vaultedceiling
@astrolighting #walllights to frame the TV and bring in that much needed mid layer of light
There are also table and floor lamps on a 5amp circuit to complete the full layered effect! A scheme for all moods and ambience as the natural daylight fades…

A bit of a dreary weather day here in #buckinghamshire (summer appears to have come and gone…already!) so thought we would share some #PlumPerspective …
Why not illuminate your master #ensuite or family #bathroom niches and alcoves for that extra lower level of relaxed light? Perfect for that deserved soak in the tub!
> If you have a slim niche or alcove, we typically suggest a mini, narrow beam down light… first image uses @lightgraphix #LD40
> Wider niches and alcoves often lend themselves to linear lines of light… second and third images use @atmosphericzoneltd #cob #ledtape
All fittings must be IP rated of course so they are suitable for wet areas and environments!

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!

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.
