Room Lighting

We believe home lighting has the power to completely change the way we think, feel, behave and live. Find out how each and every room in your home can be used to craft the perfect environment for you. And every photo on this site is one of our past projects.

Good lighting can improve every aspect of your home environment, from restful bedrooms, to practical work spaces. More than ever, our interior spaces must perform multiple roles by day and night; light can be harnessed as a tool for zoning. Kate&Sam would like to share their extensive knowledge and expertise with individuals and families who need professional advice and inspiration.

Kitchen lighting

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 lighting 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 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.

Collaboration Ina Rinderknecht

“I have worked with Kate and Sam on a few projects now. They have been involved in the lighting design from the outset. Their response was always personal, creative and imaginative with options to develop and choose from. They were always available, delivered to the project timescales and I have no hesitation in recommending their services”
