As Seen On TV

Lights, camera, action! Our lights have been in the spotlight more than once this year. We’ve seen them in nail-biting dramas, award-winning soaps, life-changing renovation shows and in the last series of one of the best UK reality shows! They’ve been placed in various interiors; from the prison scene in Paddington 2 to the iconic Big Brother house, they’ve proven how versatile they are. If you want to create an interior worthy of the big screen, read on to learn how you can incorporate vintage industrial lighting in any room of your house or business.

Big Brother

And the person being evicted is… not our lights, that’s for sure! Our lights have featured in the last ever series of Big Brother, after a whopping 45 series, the long-running reality TV show is airing its final series. We had to get in on the action and have been there to witness all of the drama. This year the interior has gone for an Insta-worthy décor, screaming personality rather than following previous years, which have focused on contemporary finishes. This year they’ve gone all out, embracing tropical prints, clashing colours and eccentric patterns. Industrial lights are the perfect way to add a touch of retro to this modernised interior; it’s all about making a statement and leaving the interior ingrained on the viewers’ minds.

Strictly Come Dancing

There’s nothing better to do on a Saturday night during the colder months than tuning into Strictly Come Dancing. We look forward to seeing what the dancers will wear each week, which dance they’ll try their hands at and the incredible judge one-liners! Just as the dancers light up the stage, our lights have the ability to light up any room; we were featured on Strictly, did you spot us? It’s a ten from us!

 

Love Your Home & Garden

Tackling some of the toughest homes and gardens, professional gardener and presenter, Alan Titchmarsh, has forefronted the original ITV show Love Your Garden since 2011 which has branched out in 2018. Transforming home interiors and outdoor spaces for people who truly deserve a refresh.

 

There’s nothing we love more than a splash of colour in our interior, known as the new it colour; the Gen-Z yellow adds an instant uplift to this small room. When combined with the mysterious forest painted mural on the wall, the industrial lights are perfect finishing touch, creating a space that is simplistic yet effective.

Old House, New Home

Transforming periodic homes into stylish abodes, architect George Clarkes show Old House, New Home unlocks the potential of these dated homes. Transforming old-fashioned bungalows, Victorian terraces and seaside apartments into stylish homes. Our lights were handpicked for three of the series two episodes.

Our cage wall light is the perfect touch to this master bedroom, complementing the dark interior and statement artwork. Wall lights are the ideal way to add the right amount of your light to your bedroom, so you can tuck into a good book, switching off from the day.

This lavish study area and living room have lashes of emerald green contrasting with a vintage orange patterned rug. Pewter-toned lights are the perfect metallic to match up with these rich colours, complementing the periodic home perfectly while keeping it stylish and on trend.

 

Industrial style lights complement periodic homes perfectly, keeping a sense of the retro vibe while working with modernised furnishings. Whether you opt for a classic bold bulb, statement pendant or caged wall light, here at Industville, we have a light for every finish.

BBC2’s Million Pound Menu

Our lights were featured on BBC2’s Million Pound Menu, a six-part series that featured 12 innovative ideas in a head-to-head format, as business ideas that claim to have a winning formula for success, compete for life-changing sums of money.

Each concept was given a pop-up restaurant that seats up to 40 diners, in the centre of Manchester, in which they attempt to win the heart of the paying public with their food and the banks of investors with new ideas that have a potential for growth.

Dark interior contrasting against warmer toned metals, such as brass, is very on trend. Instead of opting for darker furnishings, the designers opted for lighter coloured furniture to open up the space, while filling the walls with artwork and ornaments to make a statement. If you are leaning towards dark walls, add lighter coloured furnishings to ensure you don’t create the illusion of a smaller space, whether this is in your home or your business.

We were incredibly happy that our lights were chosen for both of the pop-up restaurants, the biggest requirement of our lights was versatility, the pop-ups ranged from Cuban cuisine to East Asia food to English delights, the décor needed to accommodate and complement any style of design.

Hairy Bikers

The two lovable Hairy Bikers have had a number of best-selling cookbooks and TV shows shown on BBC2. They’ve travelled the world to rustle up some culinary delights, from Russian blinis to Mediterranean paellas and great British pies; they’re a firm British favourite. The kitchen is where the magic happens, and our lights were lucky enough to light up one of their kitchens, overlooking the delights they were creating.

The British public spends an average of six hours a week cooking up a storm in the kitchen; you want to make sure you have the right amount of light in order to create the perfect atmosphere and to enhance your cooking experience.

The British daytime interior design show, 60 Minute Makeover, is hosted by the Australian favourite, Peter Andre.
