Kate Beard Lighting

Kate Beard Lighting Consultant is a specialist lighting design consultancy based in the UK. With a passion for transforming spaces with light, our team, led by Kate Beard, provides bespoke lighting solutions for residential and commercial projects. Our mission is to create ambience, atmosphere, and functionality in every space we touch.

Our journey began in 2003 when Kate, with a background in TV and a degree in the History of Art, decided to re-train as a lighting consultant. She studied interior design and attended renowned lighting courses, gaining valuable practical experience working with Gus Alexander Architects. Today, our team is dedicated to providing exceptional lighting design services, working closely with architects, interior designers, property developers, and private individuals.

Our Services

At Kate Beard Lighting, we offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each project. Our process begins with an initial briefing meeting, where we discuss your vision, preferences, and requirements. We then develop a customised lighting concept, marking up a lighting plan to show the exact positioning of fittings and circuits. We work closely with you, presenting our ideas and demonstrating the light quality and effects we aim to achieve.

Our services include:

• Bespoke lighting design for residential and commercial projects
• Lighting concept development and presentation
• Detailed specifications of architectural light fittings
• Circuit schedules and installation notes
• Liaison with contractors, AV consultants, and garden designers
• Site visits and finalisation of lighting controls and programming

Our Approach

We believe that lighting is a personal and integral part of architecture and interior design. It has the power to transform a space, creating the perfect atmosphere and mood. Our client-centred approach ensures that we take the time to understand your preferences and tastes, working closely with you to achieve the desired outcome. We bridge the gap between technical knowledge and spatial, functional, and emotional benefits, ensuring that your space is both beautiful and functional.
