Lighting is one of the most overlooked yet important elements of good interior design. After all, there is little point in creating luxury surroundings if there is inadequate light in which to appreciate them.
All rooms need a variety of lighting: ambient or background lighting, task lighting for close-up work, or accent lighting to highlight special features. You can always update or improve a dated or unwelcoming atmosphere with good lighting.
Getting the lighting right in any design scheme isn’t just about where the lights are placed or how bright they are. The light fittings and lamps themselves are an integral element of the overall design. When chosen to fit perfectly with the style of the room, they have the potential to breathe life into the space.
