Residential lighting design
Residential lighting design is the core of what we do. We've been designing lighting schemes for people's home since 2004 and have completed hundreds of projects.
Inspirational lighting design
Award-winning lighting designers
Brilliant Lighting are award-winning lighting designers. We’re an independent, multi-disciplinary design team. We work collaboratively to create and deliver inspirational lighting schemes and lighting control systems for high end homes, hospitality, listed buildings & heritage projects and fine art collections. We have a passion for enhancing and transforming wonderful spaces with light.
Great lighting design is transformational
Light is often the single most important factor in a room yet it is frequently overlooked. Great lighting design alters perceptions of light and space, creating focal points and enhancing features, and creating moods or enabling tasks.
We’re lighting designers; it’s both an art and a science. It requires both creative flair and the mastery of a varied, complex and continually evolving set of disciplines. Critically it’s also about really understanding each client and being able to help them transform their vision into reality.
We think it's better to show what we can do than try to describe how we do it. The Projects section on this site is a selection of our work spanning a wide range of residential and commercial lighting design projects and centuries of architectural styles. We're very lucky to work on such fabulous properties.
We design across a wide range of architectural styles and briefs
We work to a very wide range of design briefs. Read more about our approach to different lighting challenges and how we tailor our approach to different spaces and requirements. We have specific lighting design pages for a variety of different lighting challenges including kitchens, bathrooms, high ceilings, listed buildings and swimming pools along with sections for lighting in hospitality, restaurants and bars. We also provide a bespoke design service for lighting fine artwork.

Lighting low ceilings
Lighting rooms with low ceilings is a challenge we frequently face in older buildings and occasionally in new builds. We use a variety of techniques to help “lift” a room, through careful lighting design and light fitting selection.

Joinery lighting
Lighting for shelving, wardrobes, cabinets. Joinery lighting is a way of adding richness, colour and texture to a space.
Lighting control
Lighting control systems make the ideal partner for great lighting. Much more than "mood lighting" they offer control over lighting scenes, deliver energy-saving and security benefits and dim LED beautifully. Electric blinds and curtains work beautifully with lighting control systems.
We see lighting control as a brilliant enabling technology. Done well, it should feel like your lighting melds with the way you live and use your home.
