Lighting Trends



Often home interiors gets a facelift with freshened paint. Maybe a feature wall of on trend wallpaper and a few new objects to dress the room and then most people stop short of changing the light fitting. This astonishes us, they do all the hard work of painting stripping paper but the simple job is left undone. We pondered why, most people want to see their home in a new light, but instead keep the old, outdated light in place. This is a real shame as changing your light is a simple job for an electrician and this single change can have a real transformative effect on a room.

At 'The Lighting Company' can help. This month we focus on creating a well lit home office, but we have help for every room in the home via blogs and our very own 'Trend Boards' designed to inspire. You'll soon be giving your home a bright new look.

So why do some people live with boring bland Lighting, We pondered, we wonder if folks have no idea what to choose and asked some of our past customers their thoughts. What difference had new lighting made to the room and how they'd chosen it. And why they didn't feel confident in the past. The replies may help you. This is not a detailed survey, simply asking some customers ad-hoc as and when they visited and re-visited our showroom. We also asked what they thought about the new lights.

What prompted you to change your lights?
The replies in the main fell into 3 camps when asked "what prompted you to change your lights?"

What do you think of your new lights now?

In fact there was so many variations in praise of the new lights we simply cannot recall all of them.

Lastly we said
