What to Bring

‍

In order to provide you with the best lighting solutions for your specific project, please bring the following information with you to your appointment. If you’re building a new home or doing a major renovation, we strongly recommend making an appointment with one of our Certified Lighting Designers. We’d love to see your plans, schedule a site visit, and meet with your contractors!

·      Plans – kitchen, whole house, or space being renovated.

·      Space measurements – including ceiling height. For any ceiling mounted fixture (flush or semi-flush mount, pendant, chandelier) we’ll always want to know your ceiling height. There really isn’t a“standard” height in New England, and there are great differences between older homes and new construction in terms of ceiling height.

·      Furniture layout for living spaces: How do you use this space? Where are your major pieces of furniture placed? Will this fixture be hanging over a piece of furniture that doesn’t move regularly? Or do you need to be able to walk beneath this fixture? Do you have artwork you want to highlight? Will you have table and floor lamps in this space?

·      For kitchen lighting: An accurate kitchen plan allows us to determine the best combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting for your space. If a fixture is going over a dining or kitchen table, what are the dimensions of the table (especially the width)? If you are looking for pendants for over an island or peninsula, what are the dimensions of the island/peninsula?

·      For bathroom vanity lighting: What are the dimensions of your vanity? Will you have a mirror or a medicine cabinet? If your medicine cabinet isn’t recessed, what is its depth?

·      For wall sconces, it’s helpful to know if there are any space restrictions, especially regarding the width.

·      Color palette, design theme (traditional, transitional, contemporary).

·      Photos of your space.

·      Photos from magazines of lighting and interior design that you like.

·      Any inspiration that strikes you!
