Learn about Lighting Designers in Queensland

Lighting design must be considered in the greater context of the home, office or commercial space, so designers will usually work closely with other architecture and design professionals in Queensland including interior designers, kitchen and bathroom designers, and architects – as well as the client – to create the perfect solution.

What do lighting designers do? 

The designer will be involved in the project from the planning and concept stage right through to installation.

Commercial lighting designs are generally approached quite differently to residential lighting schemes in Queensland so it is important to treat it as a different type of project from the outset.

What is a complete home lighting solution? 

A complete lighting solution in Queensland looks at all the different spaces and areas of the home, building or space, indoors and out – and the way the area is used on a day-to-day basis. A well-designed, cohesive lighting solution will be tailored to the individual needs and desires of the client, and the quirks of the property and furnishings. For example, the following concepts may be included in a residential lighting plan:

Kitchen: Task focused lighting, decorative pendants over an island

Bathroom and laundry: Crisp and clear, LED strip lighting under mirrors

Living room: Mix of ambient, task and accent lighting including recessed downlights and floor lamps

Bedroom: Softer lighting, dimmer function table lamps

Outdoor: Security lights, in-built awning lighting, pool and deck lighting installation 

Three questions to ask a lighting designer

1. What is your consultation process? How much time will they spend with you assessing your needs, listening to your desired outcome, and discussing options before providing a proposed solution?

2. Can you work within my budget? In Queensland, it is important to be clear about budget expectations from the outset – and to firm up the payment structure; will a deposit be required? When will full payment be due?

3. What are your qualifications and experience? A lighting designer in Queensland will usually hold qualifications in electrical engineering, architecture or interior lighting design. Experience in the field and a demonstrable portfolio of similar-scale projects will add confidence that the professional is the best fit for your project.
