Lighting plan

Know exactly where to place lights, how to layer them, and what fittings suit your space – before you buy a single fixture.

WHY START WITH A LIGHTING PLAN?

A lighting plan brings clarity at the earliest stage of a project. From kitchens to full renovations, it helps you understand where lights should sit, how to layer them for warmth and balance, and which fittings will work best – giving you confidence before anything is fixed in place.

WE’RE OFTEN ASKED

A personalised lighting plan answers all of these questions early, giving you clarity on what to light, where, and why.

 

Yes – new builds benefit enormously from a lighting plan created early on. With blank walls and fresh layouts, lighting decisions need to be made before electrics are fixed. A considered lighting plan ensures sockets, switches, and fittings are positioned correctly from the start, avoiding costly changes later and helping the finished space feel balanced, warm, and well thought through.

Kitchen lighting plans work best when lighting is both practical and considered. The position, number, and size of pendants depends on the island’s length, ceiling height, and how the space is used. A lighting plan ensures pendants are correctly spaced, balanced with surrounding lighting, and proportioned to the room – not just the island itself.
Wall lights are often overlooked, but they play a key role in adding depth and atmosphere. Placement depends on ceiling height, wall width, and what the light is intended to do — highlight, soften, or support the main lighting. A considered layout avoids glare and ensures wall lights enhance the space rather than compete with it.
Spaces often feel flat when lighting relies on a single layer, such as ceiling lights alone. Effective lighting combines ambient, task, and accent light to create depth and warmth after dark. A lighting plan helps identify what’s missing and where additional layers would transform the feel of the room.

Lighting plans are typically a small investment compared to the cost of getting lighting wrong. A clear plan can prevent unnecessary fittings, avoid changes during installation, and help you spend your budget where it makes the most impact. For many homeowners, it pays for itself by reducing mistakes and giving confidence before committing.
