Global Interior Design London - Blog

I remember years ago how a prominent London visual artist asked me to give her a few hints on a new lighting installation for an exhibition. She was in need of a professional from the London interior design community to help her develop exactly the artistic and expressive look she needed.

I explained to her that there are many different types of illumination system commonly used by interior design boutiques. Low-voltage bulbs are particularly popular. These are best when the interior design team needs a more subtle effect, as in feature lighting for example. Some task lights also use low-voltage illumination. Fluorescent tube lights, by contrast, are perfect when an interior design consultant needs a smooth, uniform light - fluorescents are perfect in uplighters or as a wave of light moving over an entire wall.

The London visual artist and I brainstormed a bit and eventually I was able to use my interior design expertise to suggest a concept for her that perfectly met her needs. Thanks to lighting and interior design, I understand that her installation was ultimately a success. Yet another example of how interior design and visual arts collide to great effect in London!
