Sophie I don’t think you understand how grateful I am that you have a CZcams Chanel. You give us so much in sight, tips, sources etc that other people would make us pay for. Thank you thank you thank you. I wish nothing but bountiful success for you, your family and all your team ❤
You are so welcome! I’m so glad it is helping people. ❤️
I loved the chat with Anthony so much. Really helpful tips and advice from him especially how to apply lighting in your home if you’re on a budget. Your conversation together was so warm and engaging, it really is a testament to you Sophie as a boss that your employees love and respect you and how far you’ve come as a presenter because I know at the start you would always say you’re nervous but now you’ve become a natural at this. A woman of many talents! You should be proud of how much you’ve accomplished 💖
Thank you! I was so happy to have Anthony on the channel, we had a lot of laughs recording this. He is full of great and practical tips. We have worked together as well as Brett for nearly 10 years now! I have a wonderful team and am very proud of them ☺️
This was amazing - so beautifully done. Ollie is a genius! The aesthetic & quality of these videos is beyond CZcams!! Sophie & her team are the best!
Thank you so much!! Ollie is wonderful- we are lucky to have such a great team of talented people ❤️
Very important topic. When I built my house 15 years ago (with 3 small children) I was overwhelmed by the amount of work and thoughts that had to be done in advance. I had no interior designer and did all by myself. And despite of very fews things, I have regretted and could have done better, the lighting is one of them. And I think one day there has to be a revision, thanks for the inspiration.
Well said! Thanks for watching. It can be overwhelming the sheer amount of decisions and difficult to capture everything if you don’t do this day in day out with a whole team so don’t feel bad!
Hands down one of the best and most informative videos available on lighting! Sally and Anthony provide so much helpful, next level information. I have Sally’s Inspired By Light book and am learning something new on each page.
Sophie, thank you for making your very high end projects so relatable; and providing insight and resources for us. I’ll be watching this video many times. If possible, I’m very interested to learn how the hidden lighting is done. For shelving or on walls, what lights do we use and how it is installed would be so helpful and much appreciated. Your videos are so well done and you have provided lots of inspiration. Thank you and please keep up the great work! ❤
I love how Designer people are just automatically and instinctively with classic and chic dressing style too.
I love your design tips. I'm a real fan of chinoiserie. It would be great if you did an episode with your team on how you choose chinoiserie for a project e.g. colors, textures and how the chinoiserie flows with your furniture.
This is awesome. Thank you Sophie. Lighting architecture is sometimes overlooked, thought
about afterwards. This shows how essential, and how dramatic it can be.🙏🏽✌🏽
You're so welcome! And I totally agree lighting is a vital part of good design
Gosh, this was the best. Thanks so much Sophie, Anthony, Ollie and Sally. I love how warmly you all come across and the information is just so useful ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how this influencer is always creating content that is inclusive and celebrates diversity, which is so important in today's world.
Anthony is brilliant. Love his attention to detail and clear explanations. Also that photo of his living room is gorgeous.
He’s a superstar and very loved member of our team. I’ve already told him he needs to make another appearance on the channel soon 🤣
Sophie your such a sweet person how you give others such credit is great x
I’m getting so much VALUE out of your channel. It’s the best out there in design.
Thank you for this video and all your videos! I just recently discovered your channel and love all the advice and knowledge you so kindly share.
What I really love about this video in particular are the tips and links from Anthony that I can immediately apply without having to have a huge budget. Thank you ☺️
Anthony needs to come more often! Loved this Sophie!
A fabulous video, thank you Sophie! We always enjoy working with you on your stunning projects, and it was fantastic to welcome your team to the London Showroom!❤✨
We enjoyed every minute thanks for having us!
Absolutely enlightening!
Very generous of you , would definitely help budding Designers.
Wonderful video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this brilliant video Sophie ☺️
Oh my goodness! Brilliant! Like a movie set and a dream all at once. My brain is on fire with ideas. Love it!
Wow, thank you!
I love ur channel. This was a master class in lighting. It’s funny, in design school they didn’t lean into lighting design which is a shame. Lighting really fully realizes the architecture and design of a space. 🙏
Thank you for watching and I’m so glad you found it to be useful
Yes thank you really helpful info, onnall aspects of lighting, gr8t to see the John Cullen designers, look forward to seeing the lighting book, 👏👏🌟✨🥳🌟💕
Thank you Sophie , I cant quite afford you ,your colleague or Jane at John Cullen but aspire to one day and in the meantime your advice is so helpful.
You can do it! And thanks for supporting us on the channel ❤️
@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd . I am renovating a grade 2 listed Georgian mine captains house in Cornwall and your inspirational tips are so helpful. My kids bought me your makeup mirror (Armac Martin) and its inspired the whole room! and the Andrew Martin cushions,i splurge a little on the details and it brings joy even if I cant afford the whole shebang! Thank you.
Ah that’s so lovely to hear thank you. And what kind children you have. Good luck with your renovation that sounds very exciting ❤️😊
Thank you for this informative talk. 💐
Would love to have more on lighting with demonstrations. Thx.
Perhaps it might be a lot to ask for but seeing the SP Team’s homes would be really interesting and engaging content! To understand their constraints and how they manage their own interiors,perhaps on a budget, would be very insightful. Cudos to Anthony for sharing that picture of his living room!
Great video guys, very informative. Will defo be picking up Sally's book!
A big thank you to Sally and Anthony for their time and expertise. Such an interesting and useful topic.
Sophie, your kitchen is absolutely beautiful and I always look forward to all of your posts. I learn something from each of them. Thank you for including us in your adventures.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching ❤️
Lovely, thanks. They really need a much bigger tv for demonstrations though!
WOW, I never thought about lighting like how you presented it to us today in this video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You very much for this amazing video Sophie and Ollie... It really has inspired me to experiment with lighting in my kitchen to make it look fabulous as I prepare to embark on my CZcams cooking channel. These tips were super' helpful. Appreciate it... 🌿🇿🇦🇬🇧
So many good tips shared here. I’ve kind of also become a lighting geek since I started watching your videos and I will definitely bear these advice in mind for my future home!
I'm so glad!
As always a super nice, warm and informative video. Thank you Sophie and your wonderful team!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it
This video is beautifully made as always and the tips so helpful. Thank you for you're amazing work! Love to watch everytime 🥰
You're so welcome! Thank you for being so supportive ❤️
It was amazing how knowledgeable is Anthony and how you bring us the opportunity to learn a bit❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video Sophie. I loved Anthony, he had some great suggestions and advice. I will definitely be looking for some of the items he mentioned. I’m always so taken with your grand projects and enjoy watching you execute the elaborate plans but it was refreshing to have you talk to us about some small affordable things we can do in our homes to bring some of the drama we see in your projects into our homes. Please keep doing what you’re doing! ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you and I’m so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Thank you Sophie as always for making these videos. And thank you Anthony for sharing your expert insights especially your tips at the end about low budget solutions!
You're so welcome! And I loved having Anthony on too ❤️
So helpful. Loved the tips at the end as well.
So glad!
Thank you so much, Sophie, John Cullen, and Anthony for this informative presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was such an informative vlog on a hot topic that is very often overlooked, packed with insider tips , your Q&A with John Cullens Creative Director Sally Storey was amazing, it would be brilliant Sophie to see you put Q&A to more leading industry experts in their fields in future episodes. Anthony is a natural in front of the camera more cameos please from him 🤗💫
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes that’s something I said to Ollie after we finished this one is that I will interview more experts! Let me know what area of expertise you’d like to learn more about next ❤️
I love learning about this. I’m currently training to be an electrician, but I’d like to do lighting design on the side possibly. I feel like the two trades will compliment each other nicely.
Go for it! It would certainly set you apart! It’s a great idea
Excellent topic & very timely! Thank you!! We are having quite a bit of work done to our home, and wanted to add some lighting redesign to the rooms we are updating. I had my partner watch this video with me and this helped him visualize what I was trying to explain to him. Again, thank you!!!!!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with the redesign!
Fantastic video! I love lighting and believe it is an absolute in every room! Just bought Sally’s book!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Hey! Sophie I really really obsessed with your videos so so much and I love your videos so so much you are my inspiration and I will support you till end 😭💫💞
Ah thank you ☺️
@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd give me heart comment once ☺️
Wow , I loved this ❤
Thank yous all
I’m like a child at Christmas when I see a new post 😆
I’m learning so much and making changes as we build our dream home .
My husband thought it was my ideas 💡 but I told him,”no it’s Sophie Paterson and her team 🥰”
Can’t thank yous enough
Still trying to twist his arm about antique mirrors 🙃
That’s lovely to hear and feel free to take full credit from your husband 🤣😊
So glad to have a place to debate these kind of questions! I agree with both Sophie and Anthony about the shower niche. I think that an LED strip is good for a long niche and a spot light is great for a smaller niche. And kudos to Anthony for debating his boss with such grace. Also speaks to the great culture in Sophie’s team!
Thanks Anna- we all really respect each others opinions in the team- debate and second opinions can only strengthen a design. I value the input from all our team- hire the best and then let them do what they do best! ☺️❤️
Great great video! Thank you for sharing such valuable info ❤
You are so welcome!
Hi Sophie from palo alto, CA. As always, wonderful video and thank you for your content!
Thank you so much!
Great video. Sophie you look dashing, love you being just yourself, I'd love working with you.
Can Anthony share where he got his fire place up lighters? I’ve tried doing this before but the lights i got were too white and apparently made my fireplace look like a gothic horror show…
I’ve just added the link to the description box
Very helpful and informative session, lighting is so important and can transform a room. Especially liked the tip about lighting corridors and hidden lighting. Quite fixated about lamps and how many I can squeeze in without over powering a space. There are no barriers we all need lighting its elevating to the next level to enrich our homes.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the tips! Question about the free standing uplight mentioned by Anthony, how does that work? Do you plug it into the wall? Thanks a lot.
Great video and for Anthony ❤
We all love Anthony here at SPI!
Great video!
Thanks!
After watching the video I immediately purchased the book Inspired by Light - I look forward to reading it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Ms Sophie would u consider doing a lighting info chat for small homes? With housing costs so expensive a lot of us have downsized and need help. Thank you.
Sher
Wonderful video. Would love to see more interviews with your team
Will definitely try to do that- not all of them like being on film 🎥 🤣
Hi I think lightning is one of those thing that for lots of us are unsure About and isn’t really discussed much
But is supper important to our homes thank you be great to do a real room and why the lighting was chosen
Great video
Thank you!
Love your channel and you can’t imagine how much I’ve learnt about interior design from just watching your videos.
My question about lighting design for the living room in particular….how does one know where to position lights like down lights and spotlights on the ceiling before the layout of furniture/decor is finalised? I would have loved some sort of lighting illuminating my coffee table and a few side tables but unfortunately the exact furniture layout was determined after the Reno was completed. How do the experts do it?
Thank you 😊😊😊
Thank you, that is lovely to hear. The tricky thing with lighting is you have to do it so early but you have to know your furniture layout and even where you are putting art in order to get it right. So we design everything then design the lighting before the work commences on site.
@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd …. Thank you so very much for taking the time to respond. Really appreciate it!!!
I absolutely love your conversation on lighting. He mentioned a narrow up light, what type of light would that be, is it just a narrow spot light that you point up?
I linked it in the description box ☺️
bonsoir Madame j'ai adorai la couleur vert olive ou bien c'est un vieux vert est-ce que c'est du papier-peint wall-paper ou bien c'est de la peinture pourriez-vous nous dire exactement la Marque et le numéro de la peinture ou bien du papier-peint et aussi les appliques de lumiéres et les coussins couleurs vert olive ou vieux vert et aussi la petite vitrine qui se trouve au coin trés antique sur la photo du salon s'il vous plait j'adore toute la décoration de la photo du salon l'avant derniére photo please share with us the links Merci et bonne continuation
Great video! Thank you so much. I have 5 lamps in my bedroom and I thought that was maybe too much but Anthony has 8 in one room! Can you have a picture with a picture light and 2 sconces on either side of the picture?
Glad it was helpful! You could do that although I feel it would probably be too much unless the picture was very large and there was a significant distance between the wall lights and the picture light- at least 1 metre I would say. Probably safer to remove the wall lights. Or the picture light and just have a directional spotlight illuminating it.
@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd Thank you so much!
Another great vlog Sophie! Although you do high end design, you never fail to give us tips for lesser budgets! Really inspiring. I am now going to look around my apartment and determine where I can improve on my lighting.
Is your bag the Loewe puzzle bag? Small or Medium?
Yes it’s the medium ❤️
Hi Sophie where is your jumper from? Thanks
It’s from Bamford
Hi there - what kind of free standing light is at the base of Anthony's fireplaces?
I’ve just added the link to the description box
@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd Thank you!
j'ai réalisé des moulures sur le bas du des Murs et je voudrai peindre le haut des murs comme cette couleur vert olive ou c'est un vieux vert je ne connait pas le nom de la couleur et les appliques couleurs noires qui s"accrochent au mur c'est des bougies a l'interieur ou bien des lampes j'aimerai que vous partagez avec nous les liens s"il vous plait nous sommes entrain de rénové notre vieux Manoir et la couleur de l'avant derniére photo nous plait beaucoup Merci et bonne continuation
In the UK, I've gone over 100% from the EU mandated 'eco'-lightbulbs to full spectrum Tungsten. It hasn't been simple & most of my T's are 30 years old! But working perfectly. The difference is from a bitter, cold dysfunctional environment to 'warm sunny uplands' as Churchill quoted in a different context! The 'wasted power' is very welcome as added heating, spread fairly evenly across rooms - after all you click lights on when it's cool or cold.. Colours show up so much better that I've moved many pictures & some furniture to take better advantage. T's are even better in the bug-killing department as flies are attracted to the light then fried on the hot bulb! (I'm v. ecological otherwise, never owned a car, don't travel, etc., so my carbon footprint can hopefully afford this extravagance). PS. Anyone know of a reliable source of tungsten bulbs accessible to the UK??😄
If you use 2700 kelvin LED bulbs it gives you that same warm white and is much more environmentally friendly.
@@sophiepatersoninteriorsltd
'Not everyone likes the 2700K incandescent bulb color, however, and certain installation locations could benefit from a higher color temperature. The primary concern with 2700K is that it can appear quite yellow or orange, such that everything appears "washed out" with a yellow hue. '
From Waveform lighting, Most led lights I see in other people's houses actually look pale 'washed out' White to me.. P'haps they are lower K.. Using less room-heating, whatever the source is surely ev-friendly. (I don't want warm light, rather full-spectrum white Shades can adjust what fills the room pretty well).
