Houzz Live Chat - Optimising lighting in your home, Friday 20th at 3pm
Comments (150)Craig, your question on Lighting Control. The rise of LED has brought new dimension to the lighting control debate. Lighting Control Systems such as Lutron are the best way to dim LED. We use Lighting Control Systems with 0-10v, DALI and DMX dimming and it's possible to get very smooth dimming to really low levels. I don't really want to suggest one system over another. I'm sure they all have their strengths. Rako offers wireless flexibility for retrofit applications, Lutron has a superb heritage and history of fantastic reliability. I'd look for dealers who are really experienced in using the system and a manufacturer with a strong local support infrastructure. We've got an introduction to Lighting Control Systems on our site here and there are some useful manufacturer downloads. http://www.brilliantlighting.co.uk/lighting-control/...See MoreWhat's your guilty pleasure when home alone?
Comments (6)I re-style my home. Endlessly. If there's no-one around to ask me what i'm doing I quite happily redecorate rooms at all hours of the day and night. I recently sat down one evening to watch TV but after looking at my (very tall and heavy) bookcase decided it might work better in my spare room. So I took every single book off it, unscrewed it from the wall, moved it single-handledly into my spare room, attached it to the wall, put all the books back then decided it had actually looked better in my living room.

Comments (629)Hi Andrea Brooks We can totally understand your dilemma - ‘Magnolia’ is certainly not for everyone! Different colours can evoke different moods and feelings, so don’t limit yourself to one colour throughout your whole house. Dark moody tones work brilliantly in bedrooms, and have been proven to help induce better sleep. Our favourite at the moment is Dulux’s Denim Drift. Bright, fresh colours are great for kitchens, and for creating a lively happy atmosphere. I love Dulux Coral Canyon which is really uplifting. Finally, dusted blues and greens have amazing calming qualities, and are fantastic for any rooms you want to relax and unwind in. Dulux Dusted Moss is a beautiful, versatile colour that will suit most styles of property, either traditional or modern. If you are cautious about using colour, why not introduce it slowly through your accessories, or as a feature wall, as these can be easily updated and replaced. Good luck and we would love to see the results. Hannah Dulux Amazing Space www.designer.duluxamazingspace.co.uk...See MoreDream luxury home feature?
Comments (12)Interesting to see the dream home feature of other Houzzers. Definitely a pool for me, so I can kick start the day with several laps, clear my head and wake up the body before the morning rush. Goes without saying that a pool party is a must! Pool is a 3-in-1 - a great place to entertain, relax and work out!...See MoreSolarventi
