Lighting design & electrical plans
Lighting design for a refurbishment is an electrical plan that pinpoints the exact locations of lights, switches, plug sockets, TV cables and thermostats, plus a lighting scheme that layers primary and ambient light to suit your mood.

The service
About lighting design
A must for home refurbishments. Electrics are decided early — once walls are plastered, moving a socket is costly — so getting the plan right first time saves money and frustration.
More than positions, I create a beautiful lighting scheme that includes primary and ambient lighting, so each room works for both everyday tasks and evenings.
Right first time
Every socket and switch is placed before first fix, avoiding costly changes.
Atmosphere
Layered lighting means rooms feel good at any time of day.
Clear for electricians
Your electrician works from a precise plan, not guesswork.

FAQs
Lighting design: your questions
When do I need an electrical plan?
Before first fix — when your electrician runs cables. After that, changes mean chasing walls and replastering.
What's the difference between primary and ambient lighting?
Primary lighting gives you enough light to see and work. Ambient lighting — wall lights, lamps, concealed strips — creates mood. A good scheme layers both on separate circuits.
