A lighting design plan should be done at the very beginning of a project. We provide expert advice and solutions for beautiful and functional lighting, according to your preferred interior styles and your lifestyle. Brilliant store, so pleased I bought my lighting from Ruby Watts. Sophia taught me the importance of a well lit home and I am so pleased I took her advice.
My home has different lighting settings for the morning and evening, I absolutely love it. Before speaking to Sophia from Ruby Watts our open plan living space was mainly lit with spotlights, and lacked warm lighting that would encourage us to use certain areas. Sometimes the space could feel quite cold and unwelcoming especially in the winter months and evenings.
After the online consultation we implemented some really simple and immediate fixes that she had suggested to our existing lighting which have made a huge difference already; switching bulbs around, adding dimmer switches and where to position lamps. We have some very dark areas which use LED strip lights, they are pretty harsh and not very inviting.

It all started with my father's favourite song "Cowgirl in the sand" by Neil Young. The second verse of the song starts with the words "Hello Ruby in the Dust" - I remember him playing it over and over on our old stereo when I was a kid. He always wanted to open his own restaurant in London and the song gave him an idea for the name.
Growing up in the family of artists, Sophia always knew she wanted to do creative things in life. Born in West London, she studied Graphic Design, and Interactive Design with Film at the University of the Arts London. Along with her studies, she was working as a freelancer in film for 4 years, and spent 2 years working in the fashion industry.
