How have you used lighting within bathroom design? Why these pieces, what is their purpose? What mood do they help create?
I like to balance function and feature, usually overhead lighting paired with wall lighting or in some cases a pendant.
I always enjoy having a feature wall light near the vanity and mirror, as ambience in a bathroom or any space is important. These wall lights can also be a great source for task lighting, for things such as makeup application and shaving.
What do you hope people will feel when in the space? What was it designed for?
For bathrooms, I like creating a sanctuary a place of relaxation but also function and I always hope they feel privacy, comfortable and relaxed.
When designing your concept for a bathroom space, do you consider the lighting in the planning stage?
Yes, I always considering lighting in the early part of any project and have found this a very important element of an interior scheme. It is also crucial to consider lighting in the early stage so the budget is available for these key pieces.

What are your must haves when it comes to bathroom lighting?
Must be suitable for a bathroom environment, also durability. I like to explore different types of lighting in every project. I am less inclined these days to incorporate LED strip lighting and include unique wall or surface mounted ceiling lights.
