d57 KITCHENS & BATHROOMS / LIGHTING


SETTING THE MOOD Ian Cameron, Founder & Head Designer, Cameron Design House Lighting has a really profound effect on our emotional response to a space. It sets the mood and surrounding atmosphere. Light naturally draws our eye in so I have always been of the opinion that what holds that light should be beautiful – interesting to look at and meticulously crafted.


The Alavus Chandelier from Cameron Design House is made up of a precise arrangement of extruded triangles. It is modular and available in a range of polished or brushed finishes, plus a full range of RAL colours


Co-ordinating wall lights with eye catching pendants is a key trend within kitchens and bathrooms, use of wall lights such as these by Fritz Fryer, help illuminate objet d’art displayed on the shelves. Fritz Fryer / fritzfryer.co.uk


The first thing to consider when choosing your lighting is to put the space first. We are always fitting our designs into spaces rather than the other way around. For example, in a kitchen with high ceilings, our iconic Lohja chandelier is more suitable than if the project had a lower ceiling height which would be more suited to a cluster of Mahlu pendants. For a truly standout feature to accentuate an interesting island design, choose a unique or dynamic pendant to really draw the eye. A key consideration for the bathroom is the colour temperature in the room. A warm white colour temperature is more suited to bathroom and home environments due to the tone being less harsh and clinical so it is important to choose your lighting accordingly.

LAYERED LIGHTING Luke Thomas, Design Director, John Cullen Lighting A key look is integrated lighting to mirror units, either at the front as two frosted strips, or behind to create a halo effect. Both these effects give the practical and flattering light to the face, which is so important in a bathroom.


Right: The Capsule Keski pendant from the Capsule collection by Cameron Design House and design duo 2LG Studio takes the concept of the classic strip light and re-imagines it in a contemporary context. Made from machined aluminium, scientific glass and an acrylic diffuser. It is available in various powder-coated paint finishes including Tropical Green, Flamingo Pink (pictured), Electric Blue and Brushed Brass


Low level lighting also continues to be popular. This is useful to create a night light effect but also adds an additional layer of lighting to the room so that the mood can be altered between functional and relaxation. We are also seeing a trend for hanging lights either side of a mirror rather than wall mounted.


In the kitchen, oversized pendants above the kitchen island or dining table are popular, typically with quite an industrial look or even basket work. Discreet lighting is key however. Concealed linear lighting is used more and more, which creates a very subtle lighting effect and a more modern feel. It is very common for clients to use scene setting controls for their kitchen areas so that they can seamlessly switch between cooking, dining, entertaining and a night ambience.
