I used Owl Lighting to help us when we were refurbishing our Grade 2 listed house. We have lots of beams and different height ceilings so I knew that getting the lighting right was not only important but also could be quite tricky. Sally Stephenson came for the first site visit extremely promptly and also provided the lighting plan very quickly as the builders wanted it yesterday! She also explained the different types of lighting to me and we are delighted with the final results

I have not yet thanked you for the splendid job that you did for our flat. It looks absolutely gorgeous, especially at night. We have lots of dark sludgy colours and your lighting design has really enhanced it. I am thrilled – THANK YOU!”

It only took a 5 minute phone call for Sally to understand our lighting needs, and I knew I had found just the right person to design the lighting for our new kitchen. She was a complete professional throughout the entire project. She came to the house to understand the room and she was here whenever she thought the builders or engineers needed her guidance.   She drove the lighting design, worked with our builders and electricians and insured everyone hit the necessary deadlines. On top of that she created a beautiful lighting scheme in my kitchen with high quality fixtures and a great variety of moods for different occasions.   As a nice bonus, her enthusiasm was infectious and she was a joy to work with.”

We had not intended to build a new house, but only renovate & extend the existing property.  However as the project progressed it became apparent that we were planning bigger and better things and it became clear to me that we needed to be certain that the lighting would do justice to, and indeed enhance, the final result.  A friend was also in the process of building a house and she recommended we speak to Sally Stephenson at Owl Lighting.

It was a fine recommendation – Sally was approachable, a good listener, took time to understand the requirements in each space and took our draft lighting design and refined it, adding flexibility, interest and depth to each space.  Furthermore she was able to recommend specific lights for each location to ensure that the result was not compromised by inappropriate fittings.

Detailed specifications and installation notes were provided, which were an invaluable resource for the electricians and workmen on site.  They were also extremely helpful for us – there are so many things to remember when building, and Sally’s involvement took a weight off our minds.

The results are fabulous – we have the ability to adapt the lighting in each space to suit the occasion – be it brightly lit and functional, or dim and moody for the evenings.   We love the lights which highlight the architectural details in the house, as they maximise the wow factor of those elements.

So a house which was designed to maximise daylight now also looks amazing at night.

Thank you Sally

I arrived home from work after dark yesterday evening – ready for the grand reveal. The garden lighting looks fabulous. So soft and atmospheric. We are very impressed, and will happily recommend you and your transformational work.

Thank you so much for finding the time to come over while the installation chaps were still here too, avoiding the need for any return visits on their part. That was much appreciated.
