We had a great day at Beacon South Quarter last Saturday where Kube launched their new Calligaris showroom and Roche Bobois launched their Provinciale range. The sun shone down on us all day which of course added to the good cheer. There was plenty of fun for the kids with face painting, nail art and baking going on at one end of the showroom while the adults were being entertained with the fabulous strolling tenor Ciaran who quite nearly lifted the roof with his wonderful voice. Of course some prosecco and a few nibbles were also enjoyed by the guests. (more…)

Tips for Kitchens
Monday, September 12th, 2011
1. The key to any lighting scheme is the design. When it comes to positioning your lights (down-lights in particular), forget about grids and symmetry and think about the key areas where light is really needed.
2. Use LED lights in conjunction with other light sources. The potential for saving energy is huge. If you think about lighting a room, using LED with other lighting can reduce energy consumption by about 25 per cent. It’s worth investing in quality LED fittings (e.g. the Zenigata LED from Sharp).

Top Tip from Interior Designer Elaine McHale

Lighting should be a key consideration in every room, in particular the kitchen.
Of all the rooms in the house, the kitchen has the widest range of functions and needs the most versatile lighting scheme. Good lighting is about creating layers and it’s important you think about how a space is used.The key is variety and to consider each of the individual areas in a room so the lighting creates invisible walls. For example, open-plan living-eating- cooking spaces need lighting as if they were three different rooms.
