The lighting of a room can transform a space. Combining several lighting sources into the overall lighting plan completes the design. As interior design professionals, we always consider lighting options when designing a room. After all, the perfect lighting design brings the room alive.

Why Lighting is Important to the Design

Lighting is essential to our everyday lives, so it’s crucial not to be under “light” in a room. The first place to start when it comes to lighting is to think about the function of that room. For example, you need to look at the lighting of the overall space, ambient light, and task lighting in a living room. You would then explore the mood of the room. For example, is this a room where the family will be entertaining? Or is it a room for relaxing and reading? For lighting that completes the design adding overhead lighting would allow for better illumination of the overall space. However, table and floor lamps are better for a living room if used for reading and relaxing.

Lighting Needs For Dining Rooms

The essential elements of a dining room are the table and chairs. Next, however, add a stunning crystal chandelier and wall sconces. As a result, the dining room comes alive with light.

Lighting can Add a Biophilic Element.

Having big windows with a great view will add lots of daytime light. However, at night you still need to see the space. A fantastic way to add lighting to an area is to incorporate biophilic elements into the design by adding lighting that inspires and brightens the room. Our homes have become more critical than ever. As a society, we spend up to 90% of our time indoors. With a biophilic design, you can introduce natural design elements with your lighting.
