ART
A considered lighting strategy that includes correct spacing, beam control and mounting distance from the artwork will ensure your home gallery looks the real deal.
LIGHT SOURCE
LEDs are low maintenance, dimmable and can achieve warm tones whilst minimising energy consumption. And if you’re partial to a midnight snack then LED strip can be left on all night to act as a cost-effective night light.
BATHROOMS
Concealed lighting within shower coves, under joinery or behind mirrors adds a nice layer of light whilst being functional. Horizontal lighting around a mirror will decrease shadows and increase your chances of an absolutely killer make-up job.
KITCHEN
A combination of concealed LED, downlights and feature lights switched separately can turn your kitchen into a fine dining restaurant at the flick of a switch. The food bit is up to you.
LAMPS
The use of fixed and mobile lamps will decrease the need for overhead lighting and will increase the warm mood.
WARDROBES
Walk-in-robes can be fitted-out with concealed LED in the joinery and ceiling to show off your latest collection and to also minimise shadows for those home styling/Instagram sessions.
DIMMING
Controlling your light levels is essential in setting the desired mood. Whether it is a complete system that controls your blinds, AV, CCTV and lighting or just an old-fashioned dimmer, setting the control zones and matching the right types of lights to the type of dimmer is essential to avoid flickering and early failure.
COLOUR TEMPERATURE
The right choice of colour temperature in a home can influence how “homely” it really is. 2700k-3000k warm white is ideal for creating soft, intimate spaces whereas 4000k cool white is more suitable for a garage, provided you don’t sleep out there.
