"Autumn was recommended and oh my word what a transformation she has made."
I never thought I needed a 'lighting designer' for my home, (tbh I didn't even know they existed!!) how wrong was I!!! Autumn was recommended and oh my word what a transformation she has made. She is truly a pleasure to work with and has a 'no nonsense' attitude - just gets on with it. Massively knowledgeable and has the most amazing ideas & can/will sources products too or will simply point you in the right direction. I'm a big fan and could keep raving, I would highly recommend Autumn - honestly…. You won't be sorry..

"Autumn is great to work with, really enthusiastic."
We are approaching the replacement of our kitchen and also upgrading the dining area. Autumn is great to work with, really enthusiastic and definitely comes up with ideas that we would not have thought of. The project is not finished yet but we are confident that the lighting will add the wow factor once it is!

"We've done an internal and external lighting plan with her and couldn't be happier. 100% work with Autumn again."
We knew that thoughtful lighting would transform our bungalow renovation/extension project but didn’t know how to achieve it. Our architect signposted us to Autumn and we have been delighted to work with her. We didn’t want a massive bill and over priced lights, and Autumn made sure we were comfortable every step with her fees, felt in control of time spent, and designed solutions that will be amazing but great value. She was a total delight to work with and we are certain our project will have wow it wouldn’t due to her ideas. We’ve done an internal and external lighting plan with her and couldn’t be happier. Great service, a lovely person to work with, and fabulous value. 100% work with Autumn again.
Joanna Carrington, Knutsford, Cheshire, UK
"A lovely lady who we would be happy to recommend!"
Autumn was super knowledgeable and super helpful with her suggestions for an outdoor lighting scheme. A lovely lady who we would be happy to recommend!
Catherine Blackwell, Knutsford, Cheshire, UK
"We are extremely pleased with the results in every aspect and finished the project with lower costs than we would have spent on our own."
We have come into contact with Autumn as we were interested in a special pendant light she offers in her shop and started the discussion about the intended use. With learning about her knowledge and experience first hand, we changed to a different light design which included the architectural and artistic elements as well as workspace illumination.
The cooperation went exceptionally well and smoothly and she even managed to get some specialist Italian design elements to arrive in time for our second fix. We are extremely pleased with the results in every aspect and finished the project with lower costs than we would have spent on the original light we came up with on our own. Highly recommend.
Lena Heinrichs, North Yorkshire, Cheshire, UK
"Autumn is very responsive to questions and listens to your requirements."
Our new kitchen required some feature lighting over the island unit. After weeks of googling I came across Autumn & tasked her with the search. It was tricky because there is a beam over the island which isn't centred either. From the kitchen plans & photographs Autumn came up with 4 options - varying prices. The options were great & not at all what I'd been thinking of - much more stylish & different. Autumn is very responsive to questions & listens to your requirements. I would definitely use her again.
Cathy Graham, Altrincham, Cheshire, UK
"Would fully recommend Autumn for any lighting project big or small."
We were really happy with the lighting plans and advice from Autumn, she was really flexible, genuinely interested and excited by our project and generous with her time and efforts. Would fully recommend her for any project big or small.
Lyndsey Stark, Hale, Cheshire, UK
"Autumn gave me straightforward, practical and inspirational advice."
I asked Autumn for help replacing the cable lighting set in my kitchen.
My existing cable lighting set was showing its age. However, that particular model was no longer manufactured, and neither was it possible to source replacement component parts.
What to do? I knew I liked my existing set-up, but I had no idea what would be an effective replacement for it, in terms of what was currently available on the market.
That's where Autumn came in - she gave me straightforward, practical and inspirational advice on options for my kitchen. It was so good to talk over her ideas with her.
The best part is that Autumn's now got me thinking about lighting wherever I look. It's so comforting to know that there's someone out there who can help you get past the "unknown unknowns" at the start of any project.
Jessica Yelas, Chorlton, Manchester
"Excellent ideas and expert knowledge of lighting options."
Excellent ideas and expert knowledge of lighting options for my Living Room along with invaluable advice on installation. I would highly recommend.
Ian Jones, Brahmall, Cheshire
"Autumn understood my struggles, listened to my ideas and delivered a clear plan within budget!"
Autumn has been brilliant. I've been trying to get spotlights positions on a plan for 2 months but I couldn't make final decisions. So I rang Autumn up. She understood my struggles, listened to my ideas and delivered a clear plan for me to work too and within a budget I could afford! I had instant clarity to move forward and carry on with the work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chris Pearce, Stalybridge, Cheshire
"Autumn took the time to understand the project and offer professional advice ... definitely be recommending to all of my clients!"
So happy with my recent purchase from Lighting Guru! It's not easy to pick out lighting, especially for the two most important areas of a house, the kitchen & the entrance hall. Nowadays there are so many pop up adverts and it's easy to get lost. Finally I stumbled across Lighting Guru! Not only did they have actual good quality products to offer, but Autumn also took the time to understand the project and offer professional advice. The items were despatched promptly, packaged well and the delicate items were received without a single blemish. I will definitely be recommending to all of my clients!
Steve Noble, Saint Albans, Hertfordshire
"Autumn's insight, knowledge and advise was worth every penny."
We needed help transforming an uninspiring windowless room into a warm and inviting home office space. Getting the light right was totally key, and Autumn's insight, knowledge and advice was worth every penny. Whilst tricky, I was worried our project might be 'too small' but Autumn was invested and professional from the very first phone call. Excellent communication, as well as working to our tight time scales. We love her lighting suggestions and design pieces, and really appreciated being directed to the cheapest suppliers. We now have a beautiful home office with layered and zoned lighting, which we certainly couldn't have achieved without Autumn's help, thank you so much!
Katherine Bones, Knutsford, Cheshire
"Autumn was a real pleasure to consult on our lighting project for our new home."
Planning a lighting project for our new home:
Autumn was a real pleasure to consult on our project for our new home. We had a really excellent conversation about our likes and dislikes and the kind of atmosphere we would like to create. Autumn produced a really interesting set of options for us to look at and for us to hear pros and cons. The written file we were given now allows us to look at options in more detail and to decide what to purchase. We now have a much more interesting and informed way ahead than we would have had. Thank you.
Martin Todd, Cheshire
"Autumn crafts a lighting plan that exceeds expectations and respects budgets."
I have worked with Autumn on two projects. I cannot recommend her services more; she is the ultimate professional whose passion for lighting engages you from the moment you start the meeting. Her style and ability to get under the project's skin are excellent, and she crafts a lighting plan that exceeds expectations and respects budgets. The process is seamless whilst encouraging you to step out of your sphere of knowledge to embrace new trends and technologies.

"The Lighting Guru is a one stop shop for all your lighting needs: from consultation / design to order."
The Lighting Guru is a one stop shop for all of your lighting needs: from consultation / design to order.
For her lamps are like friends: she knows all of their strengths, weakness, their value, quirks, technical specs ... with this in-depth knowledge she's then able to pick the perfect solution for your space.
The Lighting Guru [Autumn Morrison] went to great lengths to understand my project, provide suggestions, she asked questions to understand technical limitations and functional & design requirements. All this with zero pressure to buy from her shop (she even suggested better priced options from competitors), remained within budget and enthusiastically picked up on any query I had.
My Chelsea Victorian flat is fully lit up by choices made with The Lighting Guru and I wish all designers and suppliers were as knowledgeable, fast and honest as she is!

"If you need great lights for your home, you need Autumn and Lighting Guru."
After 2 years of lighting indecision, we were so thankful to finally meet Autumn, The Lighting Guru.
Supreme aficionado of light and shadows, she has bathed our room with beautiful pools of light and found elegant, high quality light options that are hugely flexible, beautifully made and in total harmony.
The process has been a real pleasure too. Autumn learnt what gave us joy in our home; quickly and instinctively knew what would appeal to our tastes and provided many beautiful and practical ideas that never compromised on detail.
We've found Autumn to be incredibly knowledgable, an excellent communicator, a pursuer of complete customer satisfaction, and her work delivers with buckets of enthusiasm with a zero pressure approach.
We're so glad to have discovered what we didn't know 2 years ago: quite simply if you need great lights for your home, you need Autumn and Lighting Guru.
Jackie Gradwell, Wilmslow, Cheshire
"We are really pleased with the results."
Autumn advised us on the lighting solutions as part of a major refurbishment of our 3 storey Edwardian semi detached house. She was super professional & so helpful. We are really pleased with the results – we'd never have thought that the right lighting can make such a difference. Would definitely recommend.
Peter O'Brien, Knutsford, Cheshire
"Deeply knowledgeable and offered us a wealth of options."
When we bought a very old Grade II hunting lodge in Yorkshire we were left with bare light bulbs hanging in most rooms. The house demanded dramatic choices and we did not have the confidence to make the necessary decisions until we spoke to Autumn. She was patient and deeply knowledgeable and offered us a wealth of options to choose from. She took the time to understand our taste and the spaces we needed to light. She made suggestions and offered options we would not have considered left to our own devices but she never pushed her ideas onto us. The outcome is spectacular and we are grateful every day to have had the good sense and privilege to work with Autumn. If you are faced with the task of making a decision on lighting your home or business we can highly recommend the services of The Lighting Guru.
Annie Stern, York
"Needed someone who could design and supply all of our lighting needs ... thank you Autumn!"
We used Autumn when we started out new build back in 2015 as we really knew nothing about lighting and needed someone who could design and supply all of our lighting needs. She worked well in conjunction with our electrician and the A/V and made what could have been a complicated and difficult project into a seamless, stress free and exciting experience.
Autumn was professional, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of lighting and nothing was too much trouble. She ended up being a friend as well as our lighting guru – thank you Autumn!
David Needham, Burland, Cheshire
"Autumn was so easy to work with."
Having realised how important lighting is in a house we asked our architect to recommend a friendly consultant and we were lucky enough to meet Autumn at Lighting Guru. She not only introduced us to lights that we would never have thought of but gave us confidence to use lights outside our comfort zone.
Autumn was so easy to work with. She was communicative and listened to our requirements. We know that our lighting plan will be exactly what we need in our rebuild.
Niki Scurr, Altrincham, Cheshire
"Autumn was nothing but helpful and made our lives so much easier."
Well where to start with Autumn at Lighting Guru?! Autumn is incredible at what she does, she is extremely dedicated and passionate about her job and love for lighting and it really shows in the work and designs that she produces. We have had a very complicated job, one which has had to be changed several times and Autumn was nothing but helpful and made our lives so much easier. I never realised how important lighting was until I met Autumn.
Leah Cherry, Chester, Cheshire
"Autumn is possibly the best and most helpful Lighting Designer I have worked with."
Autumn Morrison from my point of view, is possibly the best and most helpful Lighting Designer I have worked with.
A wealth of experience added to her professionalism and passion for lighting really does provide customer satisfaction and of course, a great look.
But, above all for me, her ability to provide all the technical information I need for the installation of each product and full installation schedule is invaluable, especially on complex projects. She is a pleasure to know and work with.
Professional Autumn + Professional Electrician = Happy Client, what more could I want.
