Transform your outdoor space with beautiful & functional lighting design

ELEANOR BELL specialises in creating high-quality, carefully planned contemporary outdoor lighting designs that will beautifully illuminate any garden — from the smallest cottages to the largest heritage properties. With a client-focused approach, Eleanor will work with you to create a bespoke lighting scheme that will transform your home for many years to come.

Why enhance your garden with professional lighting design?

Outdoor lighting is vital for enhancing the appearance and usefulness of outdoor areas in the UK, especially those located on the coast or in the countryside.

The benefits of professionally designed garden lighting are numerous — from providing safety and security in the depths of winter to creating a warm and inviting ambiance for outdoor living.

ELEANOR BELL’s use of well-considered low level lighting not only guides you safely through the garden but also adds an inviting feel, as dusk approaches. When it comes to lighting landscape elements, expert techniques such as ‘moonlighting’ trees will bring out their natural beauty, whilst stone wall textures, water features and garden sculptures will be perfectly accentuated.

And, by choosing a UK lighting designer with expert product knowledge – including durable, salt-resistant, energy-efficient LED outdoor lighting options – you can be assured of a garden lighting scheme that will stand the test of time.

So, whether it's a subtle glow for quiet evenings in a courtyard garden or a more vibrant display for entranceways and social gatherings, Eleanor’s close attention to every detail will help transform your garden into a beautiful and functional space, all year round.

Selecting the right outdoor lighting to preserve our Dark Skies

Particularly in rural and coastal gardens, like those frequently seen in Cornwall and South West England, it is vital to select appropriate lighting that enhances the natural environment and reduces light pollution to protect dark skies.

The negative effects of badly designed outdoor lighting on night time environments are significant. Light pollution not only impacts our enjoyment of the night sky, it is a major concern for wildlife and human health, disrupting natural ecosystems by disturbing nocturnal animals. Excessive artificial light can also harm human health by disrupting sleep patterns and causing various health problems.

By employing a professional lighting designer in Cornwall to consider aspects like light fixtures, output, and placement following guidelines, homeowners can limit their environmental impact, meet planning requirements, and appreciate the allure of their outdoor areas under naturally dark skies.

ELEANOR BELL is always mindful of minimising light pollution to preserve the natural beauty of the night sky and is well versed in creating lighting schemes for Darksky rural UK locations and for projects with specific nocturnal wildlife considerations, according to ROLAN principles for exterior lighting.
