There’s more attention now on how light actually feels in the body. Not just what you see, but how your nervous system responds as the day tapers off, all of it tied to rhythm and the way good lighting follows your circadian rhythm. Start with the idea of rhythm, not fixtures When most people approach […]

There is a difference between lighting that looks good in a photograph and lighting that actually works when you are standing at the mirror trying to get ready for your day. Bathroom lighting that doesn’t distort your face is not about creating atmosphere or mood, it is about accuracy, consistency, and making sure the reflection […]

There’s a particular kind of disappointment that happens at around 7pm. You’ve finished the day, you’re make a cup of something warm. Stepping into your living room, you reach for the switch, and the ceiling light comes on. And the whole room changes in a way you didn’t ask for It’s suddenly too bright, but […]

The first five seconds inside a home are rarely spoken about, but they help form a first impression. Before anyone notices your furniture, your custom art selection, or the way your room is styled, they feel something. Perhaps it’s a pause, or a sense of ease… or perhaps it’s the opposite. A slight disorientation, an […]

Some homes are designed for the rhythm of the seasons while some homes are clearly built for summer, with open windows, sunlit walls, & outdoor living as the default. Living in such a house year round teaches unexpected lessons about light, space, & the subtle ways design shapes how we inhabit a home. On Salt […]

You do care about lighting, you just don’t know it yet. Nobody ever says lighting is their passion (unless you are me) they say they want a ‘bright space’ or ‘cozy vibes’ or that something feels a bit off. That off feeling is almost always lighting. Residential lighting design is about layered lighting & designing […]

Your home is never just the walls & furniture, it’s all the little ways you move through it, the light hitting the floor, the sounds bouncing around, & yes, even how your dog decides to act when something catches their eye. Curtains are one of those things everyone forgets about, but I am about to […]

The living room is where humans come to relax and dogs…test the limits of your patience. For humans, it’s about comfort, aesthetics, circulation. For dogs, it’s a living, breathing sensory environment that either calms them or pushes them into high arousal. That spot they’ve claimed on your sofa? That sudden dash across the room at […]
