WHY CREATE A LIGHTING PLAN?

Whether you’re a homeowner or a business, reconsidering your lighting plan is a smart decision. Just like sound, lighting plays a significant role in shaping your sensory experience, influencing both your mood and well-being. Beyond practicality, good lighting creates ambiance and enhances the overall look and feel of a space.

Choosing the right lighting takes time and effort. With so many options available and rapid developments in lighting technology, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. At our company, we specialize in lighting solutions, and due to the growing demand for lighting advice from both private individuals and businesses, we’ve expanded our services to offer expert guidance.

1. Lighting design

We begin by asking detailed questions and reviewing your space’s layout. We consider how each area will be used, the types of lights you like, and any fixtures you wish to keep. Using this information, we create an initial lighting plan, outlining the types of lighting for each area (e.g., direct/indirect, wall, ceiling, or pendant lighting). This plan helps guide your decisions.

2. Fixtures

We provide access to our curated selection of quality lighting. Once fixtures are selected, we deliver a budget breakdown, 2D layout, and installation instructions, making it easy for installers or architects to finalize the project.

3. Mounting

Our installation options are flexible. We can manage the process entirely or collaborate with your existing installers and contractors to ensure seamless execution.

Quick Lighting Check
for Your Space

Grab an A4 sheet of paper and fold it into thirds. Now, imagine this represents your room, divided into three horizontal sections: Floor, Middle, and Ceiling. Sketch out the lights you currently have and note where they focus their light.

This simple exercise gives you an immediate overview of your lighting choices. Often, you’ll notice that most of the light is concentrated in the middle. To create a more balanced and inviting space, aim to distribute lighting evenly across all sections.

Try adding lights where they’re missing, and let us know how it changes your space!
