Hiring a professional lighting designer is the key to creating the right ambiance and making the space functional and beautiful. When it comes to lighting, you may not notice it when it’s done right – but you’ll definitely notice it when it’s done wrong. Whether you’re lighting a restaurant, art gallery, hotel or café, lighting can give you the edge to push your atmosphere to the next level of polish. But why should you hire a professional lighting designer when you can do it yourself?
Let’s explore some of the many benefits of hiring a professional lighting planner/designer:
- Experience. A good lighting designer knows their field inside and out. They’re able to give you actionable lighting strategies to bring your ideas to life. Their experience means they’re a wealth of knowledge and can offer ideas and advice you may not have thought of.
- Knowledge. Did you know there are rules for lighting a hotel room? Our professional lighting designers do. They know the different types of lighting needed in a hotel room and what they’re used for. Professional lighting designers understand the practical and artistic uses for lighting and ensure the lighting will be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.
- Save money. This may seem counterintuitive. Isn’t hiring a lighting designer expensive? While you may have costs associated with hiring a lighting designer, the investment can pay off in a few ways. A professional helps ensure the job is done right the first time so there aren’t any additional purchases and expenses buying more light fixtures or switching out lights until you find a result you like. A lighting designer also helps you stay in your budget and may have connections to find you better products and deals you wouldn’t have found otherwise.
