Light up your life!
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of interior design. Good lighting enhances the aesthetic appeal and creates the mood and ambiance of a living space. Proper lighting will add elegance, sophistication and style to a home or office space.
Light is the main element that gives the room a special look and transforms it into a seamless combination of form, function and style. In addition to playing a functional role, light
creates a visually dynamic space. Lighting can make or break the ambiance of a room.
Selection of proper lighting is key! Light enhances everything in a room – from the furniture, flooring, fittings to the finishes and textures. Let's go over the 4 different types of lighting.
Ambient or general lighting provides overall illumination to a room. Lanterns and wall sconces can render an ambient lighting effect.It can be built in (recessed or underneath soffits).
Task lighting enables you to do something specific such as reading, paperwork or cooking to name a few. This could be a table or standing lamp, a pendant or even under the counter in the Kitchen.
Accent lighting is used to highlight an architectural detail or focal point (such as a painting) and is usually three times as bright as ambient lighting.
Natural lighting is the light that comes from outside through windows, doors or skylights.
