Are you treating lighting as an afterthought in your interior design projects?

In this episode, Kimberley Seldon is joined by Genevieve Wild to explore why intentional lighting design is essential to creating high-impact, professional interiors—and why leaving it to the electrician can compromise your entire vision.

Lighting has the power to transform a space, adding depth, mood, and character that even the most beautiful furnishings can’t achieve on their own. Learn how to approach lighting as a strategic part of your design process to elevate your work and deliver better results for your clients.

If you want your projects to feel complete, cohesive, and truly exceptional, this episode will change how you think about lighting.

• Why lighting is critical to the success of every interior design project
• How to create intentional lighting plans that enhance your designs
• Why you should never rely on electricians to design your lighting
• How to highlight key features instead of over-lighting a space
• Why simple, user-friendly lighting controls outperform complex systems
• How to use layered lighting to add depth, mood, and character
• The value of creating lighting scenes for different functions and atmospheres
