Edinburgh Tenement Flat — Layered Lighting Design

A Victorian flat with limited natural light needed a complete lighting rethink. We worked with the homeowner to introduce three distinct lighting layers across the living spaces, replacing cold overhead fixtures with warm-toned alternatives. Over 8 weeks, we tested Kelvin ratings and positioned fixtures to maximize comfort during Scotland's dark winters.

North London Garden — Fairy Light Planning & Installation

This 20-square-metre garden needed practical ambient lighting without clutter. We designed a fairy light arrangement using 40 metres of warm-white LED string, mapped out safe positioning across existing structures, and sourced weatherproof fixtures rated for year-round UK conditions. The result: a flexible outdoor room that works equally well for summer gatherings and autumn evenings.

Cotswolds Cottage — Hygge Principles for Period Properties

Converting a 1920s cottage into a year-round hygge retreat meant respecting its character while modernizing functionality. We identified which original fixtures could be restored and which needed replacing with warm-toned alternatives. Our recommendations focused on seasonal adjustments—brighter autumn task lighting transitioning to softer, more layered schemes as winter deepens.

Central London Studio — Maximizing Light in 350 sq ft

A studio with one small window needed creative solutions to avoid feeling cramped. We combined strategic placement of wall sconces, smart dimmable bulbs, and subtle fairy light accents to create the illusion of space while maintaining warmth. The lighting design adapts from functional daytime to intimate evening without any fixtures requiring repositioning.
