Home Lighting Tips – Fireplaces From John Cullen

 Home Lighting Tips – Fireplaces From John Cullen

Here are some additional home lighting tips from Sally Storey, Design Director of John Cullen Lighting:

Fireplaces A fireplace can resemble a gloomy large black hole in the summer without a cheerful fire to light it, but all you need to bring it back to life is two plug-in highlights that can also create an immediate uplifting impact all year round. (Square Highlight, £93 from John Cullen). Fireplaces with architectural features look particularly good when up lit, so consider using a 5 amp circuit, so that the lights can be switched on by the door. Also recommended is to add two small 1w LED up lights in the hearth. (Lucca, £97 from John Cullen). If up lights aren’t recessed into the hearth, make sure they blend in as much as possible with the fireplace. Up lighting a fire surround works particularly well when you have a painting hanging above it that is lit with a down light, which helps to balance the overall effect.
