Looking to transform your space with lighting? Need inspiration to show and discuss with your lighting design consultant? If so, you’re in the right place.

It can be difficult to express your ideas when it comes to lighting, so finding images that best represent your thoughts can help steer your lighting design consultant in the right direction. Here are five of the best places to gather lighting design inspiration for your next project.

Pinterest

A quick search for ‘lighting’ on Pinterest and you’ll be faced with thousands of inspiring images. If you’re looking to light a specific room, search ‘kitchen lighting’ or ‘kitchen island lighting’ to be even more specific. The options are endless, and with the large amounts of images being uploaded every day, you’re highly likely to come across images for inspiration.

Pinterest is full of inspiration and gives you the option to ‘pin’ images to your very own Pinterest boards. This allows you to sperate your images into boards for each room in your home. From there, you can share your Pinterest boards with your lighting design consultant via the share option in Pinterest – a great way to express your ideas with your lighting design consultant.

Why not take a look at Hampshire Light’s Pinterest. We’ve created several boards with images from our lighting design portfolio to help inspire your next project. Our Pinterest boards consist of kitchen lighting, bathroom lighting, garden lighting, cinema room lighting and more. Check it out, feel free to pin your favourite images and contact us if you’d like to discuss how we can create something similar for you.
