With the clocks going back this week, your garden room will spend half its working life in darkness. Good lighting is what separates a space you love in winter from one you abandon until spring.
Layer Your Light
- Task light: A focused desk lamp or pendant over the work area — bright, neutral white for concentration.
- Ambient light: Wall washers or an LED strip along the ceiling line bring out the warmth of natural timber surfaces beautifully.
- Path light: Don't forget the walk from the house — low bollards or step lights make the winter commute across the garden safe and inviting.
Timber Loves Warm Light
Pine interiors respond best to warm colour temperatures (2700–3000 K) for relaxing zones, with cooler task lighting where you need focus. Plan sockets and switch positions before assembly — it's far easier than retrofitting. That's exactly the kind of detail we lock in during the design stage of the build process.
