Lighting is one of the most important yet often overlooked elements of interior design. The right lighting can transform a room from flat and uninviting to warm and dimensional.
The Three Layers
Effective lighting design uses three layers: ambient lighting for overall illumination, task lighting for specific activities, and accent lighting to highlight architectural features or artwork.
Creating Mood
Dimmers allow you to adjust the intensity based on the time of day or desired atmosphere. Warm, soft light creates intimacy while brighter light energizes.
