If you’ve ever walked into a beautifully designed room but it felt ‘meh’, it was probably the lighting.

Lighting has the power to lift a space or flatten it. I’ve seen stunning interiors fall flat because the lighting didn’t support the design. I’ve seen average rooms brought to life with clever lighting. If something’s not quite right in a room, it’s so often the lighting.

That’s what I fix.

If you want to find out more about how I can help you turn your rooms from "meh" to "marvellous" then book in a 15 minute Zoom chat with me:

I'm not going to dress it up and pretend that it's any other way - self-building and home renovating can be stressful. I make one bit easier.

There’s a lot to think about when you’re doing a build or renovation. Lighting often gets left, and left, and left - until it becomes a panic. I take that stress away by walking you through it clearly, step-by-step, with no jargon and no fluff. Just a great design that works for you.

This isn’t lighting for glossy magazine shoots. It’s for real life. Your home needs to work for you, not just look good on Instagram.

That means flexible lighting that adapts to your routines:

💡Kids doing homework.
💡You cooking late.
💡Movie nights.
💡Guests staying over.

I design lighting that supports real life AND still looks gorgeous doing it.

If you'd like to find out more about how I can help you make your home look fabulous and function exactly how you need it then please book in a free 15 minute Zoom call with me:

Need help choosing decorative light fittings?

Your statement pendant, wall lights, or bedside lamps might be chosen by your Interior Designer. If they are, I make sure they actually work in the overall lighting scheme. I’ll mark them on the plan, include them in the lighting control schedule for your lighting controls designers, and make sure they give the right light in the right place. If they don't give the right or enough light, I can compensate with other lighting so you don't miss having them.

And yes, if you need help choosing them, because you don't have the support of an Interior Designer, I can do that too.

You won't just get pretty pictures from me.

Yes, you’ll get a beautiful lighting presentation. But, behind that is the technical backbone that you and your construction team needs. Nearly 25 years experience means I am always balancing creativity with practicality, whatever your build construction type or age:

💡Easy to read AutoCAD lighting, switching/controls plans
💡Lighting and lighting control schedules
💡Full lighting specifications
💡And much more...

I make sure your project moves smoothly from drawing board to build to switch-on.

I take your plans, your style, and your budget, and turn them into a lighting scheme that works - for you.

I don’t do "cookie-cutter" designs. I work with you (and your team if you have one), your drawings, your goals, and tour aspirations to create a tailored lighting scheme that works beautifully AND technically. You’ll get proper plans, not guesswork.

The end result? A home that feels effortless to live in because the lighting’s been designed to support you from the start.

Lighting design isn’t just about where to put spotlights in your ceiling. It’s about how you want to feel in your home.

Do you want soft, cosy evenings? Bright, focused mornings? A relaxing bathroom or a buzzing kitchen?

Lighting sets the mood - room by room and moment by moment. I create lighting designs that support your lifestyle, not just your floor plan. Because it’s not really about the fittings - it’s about how your space feels.

The wrong lighting now means you’ll be paying to fix it later or have it continually grate on you.

I’ve had calls from people living with lighting that drives them absolutely mad - flickering downlights, switches in the wrong place, dark corners where there shouldn’t be, dangerous glare as they walk up their garden.

All of it could have been avoided with a proper well thought out design. It costs far less to get it right at the start than to rip it out later.

No lighting plan = No quote.

Electricians and lighting control specialists both need to know how many circuits you are having and what type of lighting control you need. "Yikes, there's more than one type?", I hear you cry! Sorry, there are...

They can’t price up what hasn’t been designed. A proper lighting plan is the foundation for accurate quotes and smooth installations. Without it, you’re relying on guesswork. I create clear, detailed lighting plans and specifications that make life easier for everyone involved - and help you avoid nasty (and expensive) surprises.

Left it a bit late? You’re not alone. I've had quite a bit of that recently.

I get it - lighting wasn’t at the top of your "to-do" list. You’ve had kitchen quotes, bathroom samples, floor plans, and paint swatches coming out of your ears. But now your electrician needs to know what lights need to go where, and you’ve no idea what you actually need. You’re not the first person to be in this boat - and you won’t be the last.

That’s why I can often offer a quick turnaround design service when things are getting tight. Don’t suffer in silence. Let’s get it sorted.

Lighting shouldn’t be rushed. But sometimes, it has to be.

Ideally, you’d plan your lighting early, calmly, and with plenty of time. But real life doesn’t always work like that. Sometimes you get let down. Sometimes you're just forgotten. Sometimes you just need it done - fast, but still properly.

I can help. I’ve been doing this long enough to work quickly under pressure, without cutting corners. If you're on a tight deadline, I’ll help you stay one step ahead of the chaos.
