An interesting mix of traditional and contemporary interior design is unified with creative lighting solutions to create a stylish London townhouse. A back-lit glass floor contrasts the traditional lobby with pre-Raphaelites artwork and traditional picture lights. The artwork corridor has a balance of lighting elements to highlight the gallery feel and maintains a flexible hanging scenario.

Linear striplighting to the display niches provides a sleek contrast to ceiling wall washers in the contemporary kitchen. At night these are used as night lights, emanating a soft glow into the space. A similar effect is achieved in the dark timber display niches in the dining room.

The formal dining room is evenly up-lit with concealed striplighting above the listed panelling to create an evenly lit ambiance, punctuated with soft lighting from table lamps and wall lights. A feel of intimacy is extended into the study where library lights frame the joinery pieces.
