Illuminating Interiors

Thursday 16th March | London

Join us during London Design Week in the beautiful Fritz Fryer Lighting showroom in Clerkenwell for this exclusive panel discussion.

I’m so thrilled to be joined by three more interior professionals to discuss the importance of planning your lighting design in the early stages of renovation.

Together with Simon Wallis-Smith, co-founder @fritz_fryer_lighting, Francesca Wezel, founder @francescaspaintsltd, Emma Morton Turner, Interior stylist and founder of @insidestylists, we will chat about all things lighting, and the intersection of interior design, paint colour consultancy and lighting consultancy, as well as cover the following:

- The importance of lighting schemes when designing a home renovation
- How furniture placement can be key in the lighting design of a space
- How to create the desired atmosphere using lighting and interior design
- Controlling light using layering, dimmers and circuits
- Creating atmosphere through paint and light temperature
- Utilising natural light and overcoming the obstacles natural light can create when designing and lighting a space
- Plus some top lighting tips from the professionals!

We are certain that you will leave with an extensive knowledge and understanding of how to achieve the desired function and atmosphere in your renovation project, giving you the confidence to make good decisions, and save money during your renovation.
