Lighting has the power to transform how a home feels – yet it’s often one of the last elements to be considered.
At ig. design & interiors, we offer a standalone residential lighting design service for homeowners, architects and contractors who want lighting to be planned early, designed properly and integrated seamlessly with the architecture and interiors of a home.
Our lighting design focusses on layering, balance and intention – enhancing space, joinery and atmosphere, rather than relying on excessive or generic fittings.
WHY PROFESSIONAL LIGHTING DESIGN MATTERS
Most lighting problems stem from decisions being made too late.
Without a considered lighting strategy :
- Space feels flat, overlit or uncomfortable in the evenings
- Architectural features and joinery are lost
- Ceiling details and layouts are compromised
- Electrical costs increase due to late changes
- The home never quite feels finished
A professional lighting design ensures:
- The right light, in the right place for how you live
- Calm, flexible lighting throughout the day and evening
- Early coordination with ceilings, layouts and joinery
- Clear documentation for accurate pricing and installation
- A home that feels considered, warm and effortless to live in.
WHO THIS SERVICE IS FOR
This service is ideal for:
- Homeowners undertaking renovations or extensions
- Clients working with an architect or contractor
- Clients managing their own interior design but want expert lighting input
- Projects where lighting needs to work beautifully without a full interior design service
It is also suited to:
- Architects seeking a lighting-focused collaborator
- Contractors requiring clear, coordinated lighting documentation.

WHAT THIS SERVICE IS NOT
To protect the quality of our work, this service is not:
- Not a quick downlight layout
- Not a supplier-led lighting scheme
- Not a late-stage add-on without coordination
LIGHTING WITHIN A FULL INTERIOR PROJECT
For a full interior design clients, lighting design is fully integrated into the wider scheme- aligned with layouts, finishes, joinery and styling.
For standalone lighting clients, the service is delivered as a complete, professional design package with the same level of care and attention.
