How We Work

The Lighting Design Journey – Your Vision, Our Process

Every home is different, every client is unique.

At Splash of Light we take the time to understand your needs, lifestyle and how you would like your space to make you feel. As an independent lighting consultancy, we approach every project with our signature care and attention to detail, working with you to create a bespoke lighting scheme that not only enhances the aesthetics of your home, but also promotes balance and harmony.

Layers of Illumination

Layered lighting forms the foundation for a well-balanced emotionally responsive space. By layering ambient, task, and accent lighting, multiple sources work independently or together to create dynamic, versatile interiors with depth and adaptability. Striking the right balance between these layers is essential, tying the interior scheme and architectural details together seamlessly and setting the tone. Our bespoke lighting solutions support both functionality and lifestyle, crafting visually stunning environments that enrich emotional wellness.

Lighting Design That Responds to You

We design dynamic lighting schemes with a focus on flexibility, ensuring that light levels, intensities and combinations work seamlessly to shape the mood and function of each space. Working together with AV teams early in the process, we ensure that lighting control systems merge smoothly with the wider design. Through meticulously planned circuiting, dimming protocols, light fittings and scene-setting, we create intuitive control scenes that allow atmospheres to shift fluidly throughout the day, tailored to your lifestyle and how you want each space to feel.

Specialist Lighting Solutions

We balance creative design with technical precision to bring your lighting visions to life. With a deep understanding of lighting technologies and architectural integration, we offer design-led technical solutions tailored to even the most complex spaces. Our expert technical knowledge ensures that we can support you from concept right through to implementation. Whether navigating structural challenges, balancing light across layered interiors or specifying fittings with precision, we ensure that every detail contributes to a harmonious whole.

Bespoke Sourcing

Our close relationships with leading manufacturers enable us to carefully source the finest fittings and design products tailored to your brief, budget, and build programme. Central to our ethos is the curation of timeless decorative pieces and responsibly crafted architectural fixtures, all hand-selected to endure and perform effectively over time. By collaborating with you at every stage, we source enduring designs that resonate with your lifestyle. Prioritising quality, longevity, and innovation, we personally ensure that every element enhances both the aesthetic and functionality of your space.

Sustainable by design

Sustainable lighting design offers more than environmental benefits—it adds lasting value to your home. By favouring high-quality, modular fittings with replaceable components built for durability, and implementing lighting schemes that can evolve with your space, we reduce waste and future-proof your design. Sustainability is embedded in our approach—from energy-efficient systems to circular design principles. A quiet kind of luxury: purposeful, considered, and built to last. A more responsible way to illuminate your homes—one that values durability, craftsmanship, and the wellbeing of both people and planet.

Exterior lighting

Exterior lighting adds another dimension, transforming your outdoor space. Thoughtfully placed fittings can highlight planting, pathways, and architectural features, while creating a welcoming atmosphere. Balancing function with ambience, well-designed garden illumination extends the enjoyment of outdoor spaces throughout the evening and across the seasons. The best results will always come from treating your garden gently with light, subtly highlighting and adding focus. Tailored exterior lighting scenes can also extend the feeling of interior space, as your eye is drawn out to the view beyond.

Layering of light, by Splash Of Light

Virginie’s understanding of how to use lighting to enhance a space is on another level – not just technical know-how, but how to shape atmosphere and mood. She finds the right solution, whether the project needs something high-end or more cost-conscious. What sets her apart is how she balances all of that with a real sensitivity to the design. Virginie gets the bigger picture and her lighting always works beautifully within it.

Susanne – SMCC Interiors

We worked with Virginie to plan the lighting for our new extension. Choosing to work with her was one of the best decisions we made. She provided invaluable guidance on the placement of light fittings and helped us source the right ones to achieve the look and ambiance we envisioned. She found us beautiful decorative lights from suppliers we were not aware of, and the lighting was integral to creating a stunning space.

Even a year later, we’re still receiving compliments on the lighting design!
