Lighting has the power to transform how a home is experienced, shaping atmosphere, guiding movement and adapting to the rhythms of modern family life.

In this elegant North London residence designed by Hill House Interiors, lighting was developed as a unifying layer across a highly complex brief, bringing cohesion to a large subterranean entertainment floor and creating subtle transitions between pool, spa, cinema, gym, games room and wine cellar.

A consistent language of concealed linear lighting set at a warm 2400K runs throughout the architecture, reinforcing sightlines and creating a calm, continuous glow that connects each space while allowing them to retain their individual character.

Elsewhere in the home, carefully considered lighting techniques highlight key architectural moments, from sculptural pendants and floating installations to discreet accent lighting that enhances reflective materials, joinery details and display areas without visible glare.

A closer look at the lighting design behind this exceptional kitchen with at WOW!house 2026.

The space balances everyday functionality with effortless elegance. Natural materials, soft botanical influences and beautifully crafted joinery combine to create a kitchen designed for both quiet moments and lively gatherings.

For this project, the John Cullen Lighting design team provided the complete lighting design, layouts and technical specification. To achieve the precise atmospheric transitions required throughout the day, the scheme was developed exclusively using the Lutron Ketra dynamic spectrum system, working alongside decorative lighting carefully curated by Samantha Bartlett.

A perfect example of how great lighting design starts with the needs of the space, selecting the right solution to bring the designer’s vision to life.

Join Luke Thomas, Design Director at WOW!house 2026 as he takes a tour of the Primary Bedroom by

The Primary Bedroom balances archival inspiration with contemporary comfort, creating a layered interior rich in pattern, texture and warmth.

Lighting has been carefully considered to support the room’s calm and restful atmosphere. Tuneable white Polespring and Vorsa fittings adapt throughout the day, while dim-to-warm decorative lighting introduces softness and intimacy as evening falls. Integrated with a Lutron control system, the scheme also incorporates discreet bedside night lights and Polespring 30 shelf downlights within the joinery.

A beautiful example of how thoughtful lighting can enhance comfort, atmosphere and everyday living.

Events such as these provide a valuable platform to exchange ideas, discuss emerging trends in architectural lighting, and demonstrate how considered illumination can enhance the way we experience architecture and interiors.

We were delighted to showcase some of our latest innovations, including Cyra, Minim, Vorsa Dot, Vorsa and our plaster-in solutions. Each has been developed to deliver exceptional visual comfort, discreet integration and beautifully balanced lighting effects that elevate the interior environment.

Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, shared their insights and contributed to the many inspiring conversations throughout the event.

A special thank you to Mathilde Burkard, with whom we collaborated on an incredible art installation, and to Atelier George for their beautifully crafted bespoke timber work. Together, they created a striking and immersive feature that perfectly demonstrated the relationship between light, art and materiality. We look forward to continuing these collaborations and the conversations they inspire.

Step inside this tranquil retreat at WOW!house 2026 with Luke Thomas, Design Director at John Cullen Lighting.

Designed as a calm, cocooning sanctuary for reading, reflection and conversation, the space demonstrates how carefully layered lighting can enhance texture, materiality and atmosphere. Centred around Phillip Jeffries’ striking Aura mural, light and shadow work together to reveal the depth and movement within the wallcovering, creating a quietly uplifting experience.

○ Polespring 50 highlights the planters, bringing softness and focus to the room’s natural elements
○ Vorsa Fix 40 precisely illuminates the artwork, creating subtle moments of visual interest
