Lighting That Works in Harmony With Your Interior

Lighting is more than a functional necessity—it is a key element of interior design that shapes how a space feels, looks, and performs. At PNB Interior Design, Inc., we offer full-service lighting design throughout Massachusetts and Maine, helping clients create environments that are comfortable, stylish, and perfectly lit.



With over 45 years of interior and architectural design experience, we specialize in blending technical lighting knowledge with aesthetic vision. Whether you need a full lighting plan for new construction or updates to existing fixtures, our team ensures every layer of lighting works together to enhance your home or office.

Layered Lighting for Function and Atmosphere

Good lighting design uses multiple layers to support daily tasks, highlight design features, and set the tone of the room. Our team evaluates your space to ensure that each lighting layer serves a clear purpose and works in balance with natural light and finishes.


  • Ambient lighting provides overall illumination
  • Task lighting supports specific functions like cooking or reading
  • Accent lighting highlights art, architecture, or texture
  • Decorative lighting adds visual interest and personality


We make sure these elements complement one another and align with the scale, tone, and purpose of each room.

Fixture Selection With Style and Precision

Choosing the right lighting fixtures can be complex, especially when trying to coordinate styles, finishes, and proportions across an entire home. We simplify the process by sourcing from trusted vendors and trade suppliers, recommending options that fit your space, budget, and design vision.


Whether you prefer modern, traditional, transitional, or eclectic fixtures, we help you achieve a unified look. From dining room chandeliers to hallway sconces to custom recessed layouts, we ensure that every fixture serves a function and enhances your interior.

Led by a Licensed Interior Designer

All lighting design services at PNB are led by Pam Bleakney, a licensed interior designer in both Massachusetts and Maine. As a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers and an expert in residential architecture and interior design, Pam approaches lighting with both artistic and technical insight.


This dual expertise means your lighting plan will meet design goals while also considering electrical load, spacing, control systems, and installation logistics.
