Lighting Designers & Suppliers

Lighting designers vs lighting stores

The major difference between the two is that a lighting designer takes a consultative approach - they help you find lighting that fits or elevates your interior design, and they come with years of experience in residential lighting design. If you already know exactly what you want, a lighting store is best. Just walk in, speak to staff on the floor, and let them help you pick the lights you have in mind. You could go to big stores like Bunnings or Ikea, but in our directory you will find smaller stores that offer products that are more unique, and can create custom solutions for your home too! Here’s a few areas can both help you with:

Kitchen Lighting

Say you want to redo the lighting in my kitchen and dining area. You’ll need to consider what kind of task lighting you need first and foremost - nothing is more annoying than not being able to see what you’re doing while you’re at work in your kitchen! Once that’s covered, you can find some pretty pendant lighting over your kitchen island and/or dining table. Speaking of which!

Bedroom Lighting

Thanks to TV shows like The Block, modern pendant lights have gained popularity. If you want to give your bedroom that special touch and a unique feature, you can’t go past pendant lighting above your bedside tables.

Outdoor & Pool Lighting

Even outdoors pendant lights can be great features if you want something a bit more special than the all so common festoon lights, and the lighting of your pool can make all the difference if you’re planning on using it at night, or even just show it off to guests!
