Kitchens, more than ever, are at the centre of our homes and everyday lives. They are one of the most heavily used spaces in the house and kitchen design is a critical feature of any home, one that deserves professional attention. Get it right, and you will enjoy this room every single day!

As a multi-purpose space used for family dining, homework and evening entertaining, your kitchen lighting scheme should seamlessly transition from day to night, carefully obscuring or highlighting particular zones. The best way to embark on a kitchen lighting design scheme is to book an online consultation and explore all your options – it will be the best investment you ever make.

Living room lighting

Living Rooms, if designed correctly, can cater to a variety of different activities and age groups. By day it is a busy communal space used for work, play and enjoyment; by night the focus turns to adult entertaining, cinema screenings or quiet contemplation. Every element is considered in the course of your lighting design consultation, from the practicalities of avoiding screen glare, choosing decorative lighting and illuminating precious artworks.

Garden lighting

If you love your garden and have invested time and money into planting, it deserves to be beautifully lit. Gardens are now seen as extensions of our homes, or ‘outdoor rooms’ leading directly from a kitchen or conservatory. Clever garden lighting can create pathways, highlight architectural features, exotic plants or water fountains. Without it, your beautiful garden will only be enjoyed during daylight hours. Work with Kate&Sam to maximise the pleasure of your outdoor space. You can invite your garden designer or landscape architect to join the video consultancy workshop for a completely collaborative experience.

How an 'online' consultation works

1. Booking an online Session

Book your design session in a few short steps. Book a time slot and send us any accompanying documents, mood boards, drawings and ideas about your project. How would you like to feel in your new space? If unsure about which package to use, give us a ring 0207 993 2339 or email us.

2. Design meeting with Kate&Sam

After reviewing your documents, we'll meet you online for a zoom design workshop/ meeting to discuss design ideas, answer your questions, suggest techniques and sketch solutions. Specific lighting questions can be discussed including light fixtures, control and lamp suggestions. Invite your electrician or interior designer and lead the session with your design goals in mind.

3. Lighting Ideas, Inspiration & Insight

Your design workshop will be followed up with information, sketches and documentation that explore the areas you have discussed. Every consultation is completely bespoke to the client - all the relevant aspects of the lighting design that have been developed will be annotated and emailed to you. If required, hand sketches can be produced which will be suitable for briefing an architect or electrician.

4. Further Advice & Guidance

If further help or another room is needed simply book another workshop, or if you've just had the design approach and need a lighting package, for an additional cost, we'll produce your lighting specification and/or a CAD Lighting Plan, or do home visits - just ask us.
Or for complete houses, gardens, anything else or just not sure just ask us.
