Why is lighting so important, you might ask? And how can it transform your business, home, or event? 

Compare a romantic meal by candlelight to the same meal being eaten under a harsh fluorescent light. Chalk and cheese in the mood department. 

Shades of light can take the ambience of a room from warm and inviting to bright and energetic, from the every-day to the festive. The good news is that the right lighting is just as impactful outside as it is inside.   

So how can you create the right look, feel and ambience for your business, home, or special event?

With a well-designed lighting plan, created by an expert. 

And any lighting design expert will tell you that this plan should be created from the beginning of the process when the space is being designed. This will ensure the right experience can be defined and created early on. 

Of course, each plan is tailored to reflect the experience that the client needs to achieve, no matter what the space. 

Lighting design plans can be created for your home, your business, or your venue (ie. for a special event). 

The addition of decorative lighting can enhance the beauty of your home – both indoors and outdoors. 



A well-designed lighting plan is the key to creating a perfect space. Decorative lighting is all about creating a mood and adding interest to a room, for example, by highlighting various objects and areas in the room such as a painting, fireplace or even a textured wallpaper. 

And every room is different. The lighting plan for a light, airy kitchen will be different to what is required for a dark, broody study. 

Dim and indirect lighting will create a more intimate space that encourages relaxation, while white and direct lighting activates our brains and allows us to see smaller details.

Outdoor lighting is different again, consisting of garden lighting, entrance lighting, pathway lighting, tree lighting and street/laneway lighting. 

Some of the most effective outdoor lighting is fairy lit trees. Brisbane has become renowned for their trees wrapped in beautiful golden fairy lights. Now you can have that same effect for your home or business.

Outdoor decorative lighting allows you to enjoy your outside living space after dark - increasing the security, safety and beauty of your home. Proper decorative lighting transforms your garden after dark and becomes the envy of the neighbourhood. The same goes for a business, or event venue. They’re all different spaces with different experiences, and creating the right ambience and atmosphere always comes down to the planning.
