01PLANNING GUIDE
Lighting changes how every room feels, and it is one of the decisions that must be made early, because cables and fittings go in before ceilings close. A layered plan makes rooms work for every time of day.
Next step
Get matched with contractors who plan lighting with your layout before ceilings close.

Separate circuits for each layer let you set scenes rather than living under one bright ceiling grid.
Warm white suits living areas and bedrooms; neutral white suits kitchens and work spaces. Choosing one colour temperature per room and good colour rendering makes finishes look as intended. Glare-free fittings matter in homes with high ceilings and large glass.
Lighting positions are agreed before first fix, along with the furniture layout they serve. Changing them after ceilings close means patching and repainting.
