DETAIL LIGHTING CASE STUDY

SOUTH KENSINGTON PENTHOUSE

Working closely with established interior designers dkinteriors , Diana Blanchard and Anastasia Antonova Design , Detail Lighting specified the lighting for this impressive South Kensington residential property .
Elevating the ambience of each and every room - from the bathroom suites and an open-plan kitchen to an atrium and walkin wine cellar , Detail Lighting provided technical back-up and developed bespoke lighting solutions that were strongly guided by the client ’ s likes and dislikes .
Incorporating numerous special finishes and modifications to standard products to ensure the lighting effect was just right , Detail Lighting carefully worked to pair suitable products with the function of each space .
In the beautifully designed contemporary kitchen , where the lighting was especially important to create a bright environment with no shadows , the Corona Pro product was installed alongside discreet undercabinet LED strips to deliver an impeccably lit space . A best-selling product in Detail Lighting ’ s expansive portfolio , Corona Pro was used throughout the property in various wattages depending on the ceiling height , whilst bespoke finishes and colours were provided to complement the interior scheme and paints used .
Statement wall finishes meant carefully positioned and planned lighting was required to minimise the impact of the light products themselves , meaning the eye is drawn to the décor and detailing of the interior . A perfect example of this intelligently planned lighting , a hidden LED was integrated into the staircase to accentuate the handrail , accompanied by trimless cu-blok lights on each step acting as discreet orientation lighting .
Illuminating the walk-in wardrobe and dressing area , linear LEDs were carefully added to joinery and combined with overhead lighting to create a functional and appealing lighting scheme .
