Featured Reviews for Lighting Companies & Designers in Portland Maine

Penelope Daborn Ltd.
Lighting Companies & Designers in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 1, 2014
“We have worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. on several occasions. We are always pleased with the results. Penny has helped in choosing colors, fabrics and drapes. We recently built a new porch and we had seen a sofa we liked in a magazine. Penny helped to design the piece to be built. In addition she helped with the spatial arrangement of the room, the selection of fabric and window coverings and additional furnishings. We originally worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. 7 years ago when we moved to a new house. We always come back for her expert eye, wealth of knowledge and the top notch coordination in making the arrangements for acquiring what we need.”

“Vanessa really *gets* us, and to the extent our house is warm, inviting, and comfortable, it is largely her doing. It is what we wanted without knowing we wanted it. We still find ourselves using her, even at long distance. She's just that good.”
Gail Gross Design and Interiors

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 23, 2014
“Small, independent interior design firm whose focus is the wishes of the client. Gail Gross, the owner and proprietor, creates a focused environment by discussiion and interpretation of the client's perceptions and desires. Gail is particularly good at matching desires with deliverables. She has a unique way of probing and interpreting the client's goals and aspirations and interpreting them into expected deliverables. Experience in lighting design, fabrics, as well as an educator in interior design. Receptive to client input and also provides pointed feedback. Easy to work with, and professional business acumen. She has been instrumental in helping to develop a plan for encompassing my wishes in the overall remodel of my Center City condominium. She facilitates a customer focused implementation plan which could be immediate, or accomplished over time. Gail will not disappoint.”
Wysteria Design
Lighting Companies & Designers in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 1, 2014
“My husband is very handy so we knew he could do the work. Problem was we didn’t have a design plan. I decided to call a professional. From the initial phone call, I felt I could work with Becky. She asked lots of pertinent questions, and I scheduled a home consultation. The project was a living room in a 30 year old house which hadn’t been redecorated in 20 years. We have views of a lake, so a nautical theme seemed natural. After much discussion, Becky suggested a “nautical shabby chic decor” complete with chandelier and seashells. She mentioned several architectural changes, such as taking down a 3/4 high wall near the stairs and installing a horizontal window over the fireplace. Just these 2 ideas added much-needed light into the room. We added white faux beams to the ceiling, a warm ash hardwood floor, and gorgeous grey walls (not a color I would have considered until I saw her picture board). What I especially liked was that she also helped me choose some wonderful, inexpensive accent pieces - a 4 foot sailboat on a shelf over our piano, cut glass lamps to enhance the chandelier, and a beautiful golden rug. These were found in consignment stores! We found Becky easy to talk to and she had out-of-the-box ideas! She listened to what we told her. She is an excellent communicator, and doesn’t try to talk you into something you are not comfortable with. Becky was reliable and when she says she will call you, she does. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is thinking about a design plan. The outcome is a stunning room that we will be able to enjoy for years to come!”
Jan Robinson Interiors

“Jan Robinson helped us tremendously with our recent home interior redesign from meeting with us to understand our needs and lifestyle, selecting paint colors, recommending the painter, creating floor plans, recommending window treatments and furniture, lighting, carpet. Every step of the way we felt were in good hands. She is professional, warm, very knowledgable and most of all had our best interests at heart every step of the way.”
The House of Lights
Lighting Companies & Designers in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 18, 2014
“The staff at House of Lights are friendly and very customer aware. The customer service is outstanding as no request is to difficult to accommodate. In discussing the items purchased we first had print outs from a catalogue to ensure the fixture was an outstanding fit. The sales person, Lynn, who assisted us, went out of her way to ensure all questions were answered and we had all the information we needed to make an intelligent and informed decision. And, it was all done with a smile. I cannot say enough about Lynn's willingness to help. I have been a customer of House of Lights for a while and its this type of customer service, which always has me returning.”

She helped us co-ordinate our Ethan Allen furniture with window treatments and rugs, all in one fabulous store. A very professional woman, I would recommend Christi's expertise to anyone that needs advice with their decorating!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 14, 2020
“We had the good fortune of finding Marlon Mullon to do redesign work on our house. It was a unit of 15 years which we wished to modernize and upgrade. We gave Marlon basic parameters which he skillfully used to create a living space that beautifully reflected what we were looking for. His knowledge of materials blended easily together. His many solutions did well in bringing the finished unit together. We quickly learned that he was flexible and innovative so that the completed project fulfilled our desires of mixing old and new, functionality and harmony. His understanding of design and style is excellent. Marlon was a pleasure to work with and we recommend him easily.”

A well-lit home is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Lighting designers will analyze your Portland Maine, ME 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 Portland Maine 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 Portland Maine, ME home. It's important to communicate to your Maine 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?
