Transforming a new build into a family home inspired by the classic, timeless architecture of a Derbyshire farmhouse, with Arts and Crafts influences and statement decorative light fittings.
This striking staircase forms the focal point of the farmhouse, visible from multiple rooms and viewpoints throughout the home. A bespoke multi-drop glass chandelier is suspended between the gallery landing, cascading down into the entrance hall where it creates a welcoming statement as you arrive through the front door.
The space beneath the staircase provides the perfect setting for a beautiful bronze jaguar sculpture. Recessed uplights highlight this centrepiece, casting light onto the wall behind while contributing to the overall illumination of the grand entrance hall.
LED pendants above the island work alongside the downlights to provide focused, practical task lighting over the worktop, while also adding a decorative element to the space. Their positioning ensures the island remains well lit for everyday use, from food preparation to casual dining.
Custom linear LEDs illuminate the work surfaces beneath the wall cabinets, delivering an even wash of light across the worktops. The fittings are neatly concealed behind the cabinet downstands, keeping the light source hidden from view and maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. By working closely with the kitchen manufacturers, we ensure the joinery design allows for the lighting to be seamlessly integrated from the outset.
Animals are a passion for these clients, reflected throughout the home in the striking brass sculptures placed around the property. To complement this theme, we selected decorative wall lights that echo the animal motif, tying the artwork and lighting together seamlessly.
In this traditional dining room, a farmhouse-style dresser is brought to life with a bespoke chandelier, adding a splash of colour and a touch of quirkiness. The chandelier functions as much as an art installation as it does a source of light, creating a striking focal point in the space.
