The part no one posts about, but it’s what sets everything up for success later on⚡️
Doesn’t look like much now but this is where it all starts.
Understanding the plans.
Measuring with precision.
Using the right tools for the job.
Taking pride in your work. ( Including cleaning up your mess )
Having a dash of OCD helps.
Every clean finish you see later is built on moments like this.

A space where lighting defines the mood through texture and materiality. The Murano glass pendant anchors the room, creating a effortless yet powerful statement.
Proud to have brought this vision to life and to see it captured so beautifully.

This is why you home feels off...
We’re often taught to light a room evenly but that approach can leave a space feeling flat, unbalanced and harsh.
Focal points and shadows are what give a space depth and create a moody; relaxed home.
Great lighting isn’t about flooding every corner with light. It’s about choosing where to light and how.
With the right selection of lights, placed thoughtfully in key areas, you can highlight what matters and create a more peaceful home.
Why most finishes look average..
They rush this part.
Everyone notices the end result,
but this is where it’s actually built⚡️

The parts of the job no one really mentions.. but are my favourite things
● Being constantly on the move
● Walking into a different environment most days
● Finding hidden coffee spots.
● Sharpening my mind and skills through real problem solving and faces challenges
And those slow morning drives that set the tone.
Best job i ever had

Before & After Transformation
From frame --> To plaster --> Finished product
Renovating your own home is such a challenging but rewarding and addictive process.
All the long days and nights, energy and love poured into such a demanding task of creating your own space and home thats authentic to you, is so truely worth it.
The experience is so unique, messy, hard, fun, stressful all rolled into one.

As an electrician, I constantly see lighting treated as an afterthought.
In reality, it should be selected carfully during the design phase.
The position, the fitting itself, its scale, and how it’s mounted should all be considered early on not once the home is plastered and options are limited.
Be intentional about your selections. Understand how each fitting will be installed, where it sits, and how it integrates with the space.
This is where you eliminate unnecessary cost, stress, and compromised finishes.
Ensure your lighting is:
* Planned with your designer and electrician
* Aligned with joinery and furniture layouts
* Considered alongside switching and functionality
* Fully selected prior to rough-in
This guarantees the lighting is not only fit for purpose, but correctly positioned without clashing with doors, openings, or joinery.
It also allows every fitting to sit with precision, aligned to the features of your space.

Suspended in time, this original pair of 1960’s Sputnik chandeliers by Emil Stejnar for Rupert Nikoll, hover elegantly as both light and sculpture.
Combining vintage presence with modern living.
