Project: The Mill House

Lighting That Tells a Story

Lighting was integral to the home’s transformation and was expertly curated by Nook Collections. Each fixture serves as more than just illumination, it enhances the emotion and rhythm of the space, helping to define transitions and elevate the overall mood.

The Milford Pendant Light, with its lantern-inspired form and textured glass, casts a soft, poetic glow in the bedroom, complementing the muted palette and heritage detailing. In shared spaces, the Katie Chandelier and Katie 1lt Pendant introduce Mid-century lighting charm with stitched leather and linen shades, adding warmth and continuity. These are echoed by Katie Wall Light in the hallways, which maintain a gentle ambiance. The Baker Pendant Light, with its classic silhouette and fabric shades, adds structure and balance in formal zones, working beautifully alongside exposed timber and a bold black and brass accent lighting range.

Functional spaces benefit from the sleek elegance of the Arti Pendant and Wall Lights, which offer a clean, Mid-century-inspired aesthetic perfect for kitchens and transitional areas. In the bathroom, the Roma Wall Light provides soft, ambient lighting through its opal glass shade, pairing effortlessly with brass accents and timber finishes. The standout Avignon Wall Light, with its vertical glass rods and antique brass frame, channels 1930s glamour, subtly elevating the space with timeless sophistication.

Mid-century Meets Modern Heritage

The Mill House embodies the delicate art of balance - where traditional lighting details coexist with contemporary flair. Rachael Gavel’s design vision and JA Schiller’s skilled craftsmanship have transformed this once-damaged home into a serene, story-filled haven. Each room feels lived-in and layered, with thoughtful touches that reflect a love for history and an eye toward longevity.

At its core, this renovation is a celebration of resilience, craftsmanship, and timeless style. And thanks to Nook Collections’ sophisticated lighting selections, every moment, whether by pendant, wall light, or chandelier - is one that feels beautifully illuminated.
