About Splash of Light
Founded by Virginie Avrillon Dunne, Splash of Light is a lighting design consultancy creating unique and tailored lighting schemes for interiors and exteriors of residential projects in London and the southwest region.
Good lighting design is not only about how the spaces look, but also how lighting makes you feel within that space and how well it works for you. Virginie believes that lighting, when used correctly, is this special element, which allows all the other aspects of the interior design: the colour, texture, art and soft furnishing to simply come to life.
“A creative lighting design is as much about how well it performs as how beautiful the spaces look like within your interiors and is one that enhances the mood that you want to set and desirability of these spaces. It, thus, contributes hugely to a sense of pleasure and well-being.”
Virginie takes time to understand your vision and thinks how the various layers of light and lighting effects will bring out the best of your living spaces. She will then plan the lighting design and recommend and source lighting products and lighting control technologies within your budget. She will also assist with any unforeseen lighting issues arising during the implementation of your project, allowing the project to run smoothly for your peace of mind.
We Love Virginie Because…
Virgine is pasionate about using light to transform interiors, and is happy to provide hourly consultations as well as complete lighting design schemes to help you achieve the best lighting design solution. She works flexibily to suit your project whether you are redesigning just one room or a whole house.
More About Virgine
Virgine grew up in Mauritius and having always been drawn to lighting, especially the magical relationship that light and shade have together, she pursued this passion and started a second career as a lighting designer. Gaining her professional qualifications in lighting design with success in 2013, she founded Splash of Light thereafter, focusing mainly in residential lighting. Splash of Light is quickly gaining a reputation for a client-focused approach to design and a thorough attention to details.
Splash of Light provides a very personal approach when designing your lighting scheme and the result is homes and gardens which are welcoming, beautiful and functional.
Faced with the enormous task of the complete renovation of my large Victorian home, I drew upon Virginie’s expertise to design the lighting plans of all of the house’s significant rooms. Virginie deftly came up with solutions which accommodated different ceiling heights, architectural features and a juxtaposition of modern and period design styles. The whole project took almost two years to complete and Virginie was a pleasure to work with as well as being very thorough and competent. I cannot recommend Virginie more highly to help you with any lighting design requirements you may have – big or small.
We landed on our feet when Virginie advised us on the lighting plan for our new kitchen/dining/living room. She worked with us for just under a year to devise a lighting plan that would provide the right mix of lighting in this large multi purpose room – functional or restful but always visually stunning. She was friendly but supremely professional and developed a good working relationship not only with us but also the architect, builder and electricians. She also accompanied us on visits to lighting suppliers to guide us through the products. Nothing was too much trouble. We are delighted with the final product.
Kay Speakman – July 2018
Virginie was fantastic. She was inspirational, artistic and practical – exactly the combination we needed to help guide us with the perfect lightning design for the renovation of our kitchen/dining room. She worked with us for several
months to devise a lighting plan that would provide the perfect combination of lighting in this heart-of-the-home, multi-purpose room . We needed the lighting to enhance the space, be functional but most of all be beautiful. She was efficient and friendly, knowledgeable & professional throughout the process. She developed a good working relationship with our builder and electrician which, as I understand it, has led to further projects. She has good links with lighting suppliers which also helped with our choices and budget. Nothing was too much trouble for Virginie and I am so glad I found her. We are delighted with the final outcome and will not hesitate to use her again.
