In this chat, Rebeka sits down with Danielle, a talented friend and lighting designer from Lights, Lights, Lights and covers why getting a lighting designer involved early in your build or reno is such a game-changer. Think of it as weaving lighting seamlessly into your home’s architecture—it’s better than trying to squeeze it in at the last minute.
They talk about the magic of a well-thought-out lighting plan—one that goes beyond just functionality and focuses on creating the right mood for every space. Whether it’s cozy and warm or bold and dramatic, lighting has the power to transform how a room feels. They touch on Rebeka’s James Street project also, and the magic Danielle and her team worked on that.
Budgeting also gets its time in the spotlight. Danielle breaks down why it’s so important to plan for both the fittings themselves and the electrical costs—because nobody wants those “hidden surprise” moments during a project!
And finally, they dive into the fun stuff: the latest lighting trends. Danielle shares how people are using lighting to show off their personal style and how craftsmanship, glossy glass finishes, and bold, expressive designs are making a serious comeback. It’s all about turning lighting into a statement, not just a necessity.
If you’re planning a project, this conversation is packed with tips to make sure your lighting doesn’t just work—it wows.
