Illuminating Grade II Listed Interiors: Clever Solutions for Preserving Period Charm At Helen Green Design, working on some of the most prestigious properties in prime Central London, we are frequently challenged by the strict regulations surrounding Grade II listed buildings. These restrictions, while demanding, serve as a creative catalyst—pushing us to innovate and devise lighting solutions that enhance the beauty of these heritage properties while respecting their historical integrity. Navigating the complexities of listed status only sharpens our design approach, encouraging us to think outside the box and create sophisticated, non-invasive lighting schemes celebrating the heritage of these spaces. One such project was a remarkable 4,000 sq. foot duplex apartment in Ennismore Gardens, where we encountered the challenge of preserving and restoring exquisite Grade II listed ceilings. In this space, we applied a variety of techniques to provide both ambient and functional lighting with truly staggering results. By utilising non-invasive lighting methods, which not only highlighted the apartment’s architectural grandeur and historical character but also added a layer of warmth and sophistication, making the property even more unique and awe-inspiring.

Helen Green in Conversation with Country & Townhouse Helen Green is delighted to announce that Associate Director and Sustainability Manager, Joanna Benton has featured in Country & Townhouse, with a discussion piece on ‘Why We Need to Choose Our Interiors Fabrics More Carefully’. The article reads: One of the issues, Joanna Benton of Helen Green Design (a member of the Positive Luxury-awarded Allect Design Group) says, is that the ‘choice of fabrics is so vast. As a designer you spend a long time looking for the right fabric. And then to look at the sustainability credentials of that fabric, you might have to search another really long time to find something with the same properties.’ To tackle this, Allect is setting up a material database that’s sorted into more sustainable choices, and less. Its team also looks at the accreditation of its suppliers – like Global Organic Textile Standard and the Leather Working Group – and gets them to sign a code of conduct that covers social responsibilities and fair labour conditions, ‘to make sure we’re all singing from the same page’. Other designers prioritising sustainable fabrics are Louise Bradley, who is introducing an eco-friendly range of textured linens, wools, cottons and velvets produced in Europe, and Rose Uniacke, whose in-house line uses natural, ethically sourced and sustainable materials.
