Heathfield & Co Craft a Serene Lighting Scheme for the new Templeton Garden
Heathfield & Co unveil a refined lighting scheme for Templeton Garden, created in collaboration with design studio Thurstan, offering rare tranquillity in the heart of London.
Nestled in the leafy streets of Kensington, London, Templeton Garden is a boutique hotel that feels like a calm haven in the city. Created as a place for guests to pause, reflect and recharge, it blends classic English character with modern, tactile warmth.
At the heart of this experience is a layered lighting scheme by Heathfield & Co, realised in collaboration with design studio Thurstan, which weaves light, material and mood into a seamless, sanctuary-like space.
From the moment you enter, Heathfield & Co’s bespoke lighting sets the tone. In the hotel’s public spaces, the focus is on warmth and depth: soft wall lights and elegant table lamps infuse the library with a gentle, ambient glow – ideal for quiet reading or unwinding.
The lighting evolves across the hotel’s hospitality zones, each given its own sculptural voice. In Pippin’s, the neighbourhood restaurant, bespoke glass wall lights add drama and energy while remaining grounded.
Over in Pip’s Café, Heathfield & Co suspend glass pendants overhead, defining the space with vintage charm. Complementary wall lights echo those in Pippin’s – creating a subtle visual connection while giving each area its own character.
At Sprout, the hotel’s intimate bar, lighting is refined and reserved. Petite table lamps line the central island, casting a low, warm glow that fosters a quiet sense of occasion rather than spectacle. This is lighting that serves the mood, not the ego.
In the guest rooms, Heathfield & Co deliver layered sophistication. Classic, Superior and Deluxe rooms feature a mix of Mira table lamps, tailored wall lights, wooden-based lamps and faux-alabaster pendants – each chosen to complement the hotel’s tactile palette. The result is a harmonious, considered composition without feeling pretentious.
The Junior and Garden Suites take this further, with earthy tones and natural textures. Sculptural Astri table lamps – with tactile finishes and thoughtful proportions work alongside bedside wall lights and statement chandeliers, creating a serene richness that elevates the rooms without overpowering their calm elegance.
Heathfield & Co’s work at Templeton Garden builds on a global portfolio that spans some of the world’s most considered hospitality spaces, including 1 Hotel Mayfair, The Hoxton, and the Grand Hotel Savoy in Budapest.
Alongside their bespoke commissions, the brand continues to expand its ready-to-shop collections – pieces that distil decades of craftsmanship, material sensitivity and a quietly confident design language.
At Templeton Garden, this expertise translates into lighting that does far more than illuminate. It helps define the hotel as a retreat, crafting an environment that feels intimate yet generous, warm yet composed. In doing so, Templeton Garden becomes not just a place to stay, but a sanctuary in the city.
