focalglow is an independent UK lighting design studio providing creative lighting schemes for residential, landscape, hospitality, commercial projects and new developments

Our Philosophy

We believe that good lighting is not a luxury and that every project whether large or small should benefit from good lighting. We provide high quality creative lighting designs that enhance the enjoyment of your space and work well functionally.

What We Do

We can provide lighting design for a single room to a complete renovation or new build. We provide a completely personalised service to design a lighting scheme and specify the light fittings that work best for your space and your budget.

Our Service

We provide high quality lighting design in a personable, efficient and professional manner. Being independent allows us to freely specify the lighting equipment that is best suited to your project. This ensures that you are in control of your budget and can obtain products at the best prices. We typically work on a fixed fee basis but can also provide design input by the hour.

Full Lighting Design Sevice

We offer a Full Lighting Design Service for new builds, renovations, extensions, conversions and refurbishment projects. We will work closely with you from concept to detail design to provide a creative and fully integrated design that will suit the architecture, interiors, landscape design and your lifestyle. This will provide you with all the information needed for your electrical contractor to price the the lighting, supply the lighting equipment and install it.

Remote Lighting Design Service

We provide a remote lighting design service which enables us to design lighting for projects anywhere in the country or the world. We work from your plans and drawings and closely liaise with you to create fully detailed lighting plans and specifications. Our design and technical expertise enables us to provide well thought through lighting designs which meet your aesthetic and practical requirements and are ready to hand over to your electrical contractors to price, supply and fit.

Lighting Design Review Service

We offer a Lighting Design Review Service. This is ideal for clients who may already have a lighting plan provided by themselves, their architect or electrical contractor and would like some independent expert advice from an experienced lighting designer without undertaking a full service. Providing sound lighting guidance and suggesting tweaks to a design and specification at this stage can completely transform the look and feel of your space and help you get the balance of lighting right. The review includes design guidance specific to your project and layout.

For an informal chat about your project and how we can help you please contact us.

Testimonials

“We recently moved into our new build home which Claudia designed the lighting for. Despite our budget constraints she has created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for – both during the day and in the evening, especially in our large kitchen diner - allowing us to use the space in different ways throughout the day. I didn’t want to use many decorative light fittings and she came up with ways to illuminate the space and highlight the architecture of the house that are integrated into the spaces. We are very happy with the final result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claudia for your project”
