When you’re supporting someone with the renovation of their property, chances are they will look to you for guidance on a range of topics, from the types of material to use for insulation to the best tiles for their bathrooms.
Of course, your clients will have their own interior styles in mind, but being able to make thoughtful recommendations that will make their new home shine will set you apart from other builders or construction professionals.
Lighting is one area of interior design that can have an outsized impact on the finished appearance of a room, so it is a good place to make recommendations.
For modern properties, sculptural pendant lights can make a big statement. There are many options available that will fit in with any aesthetic, whether you are looking for sleek and modern with minimalist lines or a light fitting that looks like a modern take on a chandelier.
One lighting trend to bear in mind, as Ideal Home pointed out, is layered lighting. That means not just having one main light in a room, but looking at how you can introduce more than one light source.
That could include spotlights on the wall or under cupboards, for instance, as well as portable wireless lamps that the client can add for themselves. All of this enables them to create a different ambience in their space depending on their mood.
Spotlights in particular can create a more evenly distributed light within a space than a single, central ceiling light will, which is particularly useful in areas that are used for work or spaces like kitchens where you need task lighting.
If you’re thinking specifically about bathroom lighting, look at how this is used when you visit a tile shop in North London to help you get some inspiration of how to incorporate different types of lighting into your building projects.
