MITCHELL HILL
Lighting Companies & Designers in Charleston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2014
“I have purchased amazing art at Michael Mitchell galleries and engaged Michael as an interior designer to complete my pied-a-terre in Charleston SC's historic district. Michael bonds with his clients and gets to know their style and preferences. He and his team have great ideas and select new and different items to bring a sense of style, comfort and ambiance reflecting the client's wants. I love my little "jewel box" in Charleston and never could have achieved its specialness without Michael and his design style and unique furnishings and accessories.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Marie Laure as both a vendor and a sub contractor. Each & every time it is a pleasurable experience. She treats each client with respect & understanding, you can tell they trust her completely. ML executes each project with poise and professionalism. Her attention to detail is second to none, from adhering to budgets and timelines to coordination & installation. I highly recommend her!”

“For the nursery of my first baby I wanted a designer who is also a mom with the experience I lacked. Brittany fit the bill perfectly. She was able to advise me on all of the best nursery must haves, but also tailored the space to my taste and budget. The final project is a room that is perfectly appropriate for a little girl, but also blends seamlessly with the contemporary interior of the rest of the home. Brittany is the consummate professional, a delight to work with and has exquisite taste and understanding of fabrics, color palette and texture mixing. I will use Brittany again for any spaces dedicated to little people and recommend others do the same.”

A well-lit home is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Lighting designers will analyze your Charleston, SC home's layout, structure and needs to create an effective lighting plan throughout your home. Though electrical engineers or interior designers can take on the task of outfitting your home with the appropriate lighting services, a professional Charleston lighting designer explores lighting as a technique.

What is a lighting plan designer?


Lighting designers often have a knowledge of physics, optics, ergonomics and environmental issues along with an eye for construction and design, allowing them to devise lighting plans that not only improve visibility but create hierarchies, dynamics and a mood within a space. Often working in conjunction with an architect or interior designer, lighting companies will work to incorporate reflective surfaces and integrate daylight. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of lighting showrooms & sales: Interior Designers & Decorators, Design-Build Firms, Electricians.

Think about how you plan to use each area of your Charleston, SC home. It's important to communicate to your South Carolina lighting designer which space will be used as an office and which will be a media room, for example, as these will require very different lighting services. In addition, consider how you'd prefer to control the lights. Lighting technology today includes dimmers, sensors, photocells (that let lights react to the amount of daylight in a space), programmable scene controls (that let you program different settings for varied lighting) and whole-house lighting controls (that let you control all or a portion of your home's lights from one source), allowing you to tailor your lighting controls however you wish.

Be wary of electricians or sales reps posing as lighting designers. Identify professional lighting companies by finding out whether they're involved in lighting programs or associations such as the International Association of Lighting Designers, and confirming that they have LC (Lighting Certification) or CLC (Certified Lighting Consultant) credentials.

Questions to ask a prospective lighting designer:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • Are you a participant of any professional programs or associations?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can the job get done?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about when there are changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
