With dramatic improvements in lighting technology and new energy-efficiency regulations, Lucy Martin’s new book, The Lighting Bible, is perfectly timed to clarify, inform and inspire.
Utilising illustrations from our Design Team’s wealth of projects and our unique showroom, Design Director Lucy Martin demonstrates her wealth of experience in lighting having worked on projects both in the UK and abroad.
Whether you live in a one bedroom flat or a stately home, The Lighting Bible is the ultimate room-by-room guide to getting the best out of your lighting. It explains exactly when to use downlights, when to use uplights and when to combine the two. There is advice on how to position lights and how to control them, as well as how to meet the new energy-saving regulations without compromising the end result.
The Lighting Bible explains the differences that exist between natural and artificial light. It reveals the trick to successfully ‘layering’ light in a room and explains how to inject some drama into your hallway at the flick of a switch. Inspirational photographs coupled with practical easy-to-follow guides also show you how to recreate a particular look.
The Lighting Bible is packed with 200 creative and effective ideas from your front door to your walk-in wardrobe. Create a bathroom in which you can scrutinise the tiniest blemish one moment and slip into a softly-lit haven of relaxation the next. Subtly highlight a prized painting or piece of furniture in a reception room that is warm and welcoming. Add some romance to your bedroom and turn your kitchen into a great place to entertain as well as to cook.
The Lighting Bible not only illustrates why lighting is the most effective way to transform your home, it provides the understanding, confidence and inspiration to actually go ahead and do it.
