WOW!house 2025

General News

WOW!house 2025 was truly one for the books. From enchanting gardens to mood-rich bathrooms, we collaborated with some of the industry’s sharpest design talents to bring each room to life.

Lighting played a vital role in shaping the experience of each space. Every scheme we created was designed to elevate the materials, define the architecture, and evoke emotion – exactly what great design deserves.

Emma Sims-Hilditch brought her signature charm to a Courtyard Room that reimagined the ‘traditional countryside’ aesthetic. Inspired by the Cotswolds’ timeless character, the space balanced practicality and elegance with effortless style.

Our lighting design played a key role in reinforcing this harmony – highlighting architectural textures, drawing focus to crafted details, and layering light to create both warmth and usability throughout the space.

Polespring 30 and Polefinity 40 delivered focused pools of light over the island and workstations, supporting daily tasks while maintaining a soft, inviting glow.

In the boot room, Etta Eyelid washed functional nooks with gentle light, while Contour strip lighting traced bespoke joinery with crisp precision, adding a modern edge.

With 1508 London’s signature refinement, the House of Rohl Primary Bathroom was a masterclass in quiet luxury. Guided by themes of Reflection, Ritual and Reverie, this space aimed to elevate everyday bathing to an experience that felt both tranquil and utterly indulgent. Subtle illumination balanced light and shadow across every surface, creating an immersive, sensory environment that perfectly suited the calm, contemplative mood.

The sculptural architecture and warm palette came alive under our lights. Contour Horizontal Bend gently grazed curved walls with a continuous, soft glow, while Polespring 40 and 30 downlights provided glare-free focus that precisely defined each zone.

Lucca 30 lit the vertical alcoves, creating striking columns of light that emphasized height and form, while the Cazalla added a delicate glow to the tiled floor. Together, these fittings didn’t just illuminate the space, they sculpted it, enhancing texture, depth and atmosphere.

Where the outdoors met elegance. Randle Siddeley’s sophisticated oasis blurred the lines between inside and out, inspired by gardens under glass, this space married he concept of orangery and courtyard with unapologetic style.

Our lighting scheme celebrated the quintessential English garden, highlighting form, foliage and furniture with subtle uplights and sculptural accents. Contour Vertical Bend bathed the architectural backdrop in a warm, ambient glow that anchored the garden with effortless poise.

Dark Sky Kew 40 cast a discreet glow across shrubs in the living wall, revealing texture while preserving the evening’s mood. Carella spike lights acted as elegant beacons among trees and planting, creating rhythm and depth. Kew 40 Spike fittings offered subtle yet impactful lighting to graze the palm trees and light the overarching tree canopy.

As twilight fell, the terrace transformed into the ultimate summer stage, every corner lit with purpose.

Envisioned as a ‘Date Night’ room, the Nucleus Media Room was centred around a sensuous, layered space designed for slow evenings and meaningful connections. Our discreet, architectural lighting brought Alex Dauley’s vision to life using some of our most miniature and refined products to create a moody, intimate atmosphere without distraction. It was a space that glowed with intention, thoughtfully lit to support the romance of every moment, because subtlety with impact is what we do best.

Polespring 40 accentuated the space by highlighting the tables placed in front of the sofa, providing focused task lighting that enhanced functionality. Contour Horizontal added drama by casting a gentle glow across the hidden bar alcove and joinery, creating a play of light that emphasized depth and texture.

The Minim threw sculptural shadows on the abstract panelled walls, shifting elegantly with every glance. Vorsa Dot picked out intricate joinery details, drawing the eye without ever stealing the show. Down low, Lucca 30 uplights anchored the architecture with a gentle upward glow, completing the layered, cinematic effect only true experts can pull off.
