Understanding How Interior Design Companies Work: Lighting for Mood Part IV – Introducing Pre-Set Scenes
In this series which I call “Lighting for Mood,” I draw on my experience working with some of London’s top interior design companies to describe current best practices in this exciting area of design.
The power of light lies in its ability to transform a space, literally at the touch of a button. Most London Interior Design Companies have expertise in exactly this area – and this is one of the many elements that distinguishes interior design from interior decoration. By focusing on what is to be seen, interior design companies can use light to screen out what is unseen, by leaving these areas in darkness. In recent years, the problem that Londoners have come up against is that to control individual effects with dimmers can result in numerous buttons and large unsightly control plates. A decade ago, interior design companies would dread having to create complex lighting designs. Each button had to be operated separately to achieve the desired mood, and proved tedious for clients all over London who simply wanted to re-create favourite combinations without fuss or hassle.
Today, London’s top interior design companies are drawing on lessons learned from hotels and restaurants, where it is essential to create an exact mood each night. The solution is to pre-set the lighting, using dimmers that are located remotely. Interior design companies will adjust each type of lighting effect only once before programming it into the system for each setting. The interior design company will present the client with a simple switch plate, with just four buttons to represent four difference moods or scenes. An on/off button is also provided, and in some instances a ‘raise and lower’ button, which allows the scene to be fine-tuned further. Sometimes London interior design companies will even program in special effects on some of these buttons. For example, one button may add in a down-lighter that is focused on a decorative object or a trendy curtain treatment, perhaps evoking a London nightclub atmosphere. The interior design company will make it easy for the homeowner to orchestrate the desired mood, with a setting for every occasion.
In the next article in this series on “Understanding How Interior Design Companies Work: Lighting for Mood,” I will discuss daypart scenes – a new trend in London’s interior design community.

Interior Design London – Bathroom Design Explained. Part III: Kid-Approved Design
In terms of kid-approved bathroom design specifics, smaller children must always have enough room to explore and move.

The Value Of A Feng Shui Entryway
Why should you have a feng shui entryway? Simply as the entrance to your home is the first thing you will be judged upon externally by friends and strangers, and is also the first thing you encounter when you enter your own home. As such it will impact upon your mood and can ultimately be a huge negative element in your life! Change this and you will funnel positive energy into your life and create an inviting presence to the world.

Understanding How Interior Design Companies Work: Lighting for Mood Part I – Introduction
Interior design companies understand the term “mood” to mean a barely-definable, abstract quality that makes us feel “in tune” with our surroundings. In London, many interior design companies will focus on lighting, more than any other element, because it allows the design team to manipulate the way rooms look and feel.

Make Your House Your Home – How London Interior Design Companies Work with Lighting
Natural light is responsible for everything we see in the world around us. At interior design companies, light informs the designers’ perception of colour, it determines how we read, shape and texture, and it animates our surroundings with patterns of light and shadow. Yet despite its importance, light is often taken for granted – even by some of London’s better-known interior design companies

Make Your House Your Home – How London Interior Design Companies Work with Lighting
The need for light is universal and impacts the entire galaxy. Interior design companies often employ staff who understand this deeply. We are drawn to light like moths to a flame (or to cashmere). In London, we are revitalized by sunny days (too few, too few!) and we feel downcast when we see London’s grey skies of autumn (too many!).
