As any good interior designer will tell you, good lighting will take the design of your home to the next level.
With over 20 years of experience in lighting, ESS are here to help you strike the perfect balance between functionality and mood in your home.
Understand the purpose
The best place to start for any homeowner is to understand what purpose it will serve.
Ambient lighting is used for functionality, filling the majority of space with light and allowing you to move around safely.
Task lighting, as the name implies, is used to assist you in performing specific tasks, such as pendants over a kitchen island or a desk lamp.
Effect lighting, on the other hand, is primarily for aesthetic purposes. Such light is frequently used to illuminate paintings and art pieces and to create balance.

Warm white, cool white or daylight?
Warm white has a yellow/orange undertone. This type of lighting is commonly used in lounging areas, living rooms and bedrooms allowing you to wind down and relax at ease.
Cool white is whiter in colour than the previous and is ideally used for busier parts of the home such as kitchens, garages and bathrooms.
Daylight lighting is very white and borders a blue light. As the name suggests, this light colour resembles bright natural daylight. Such lighting is best used for industrial settings, such as shops and garages.

Less is more
When visiting a lighting showroom, it is easy to get lost in the vast choice of light fixtures and fittings.
A word of advice from the team at ESS would be to always stick to a consistent design scheme.
Help others help you
It is best to bring with you some photos of the area you want to install the lights in.
They will be able to make recommendations and guide you better to achieve the best possible result, something which ESS always strive for!
