Lighting to Emphasize Interior Decoration

When designing your interiors, you have to be vigilant about balancing all the elements. Lighting is also one of the important elements for interior decoration. Any room can be given versatile effects and moods through proper lighting.

• Whenever deciding on interior lighting for a room, ask yourself some questions such as what type of mood should the lighting create? What different activities will take place in the room? What decorative elements have to be highlighted?
• Five to ten light sources in each room are enough to create an inviting atmosphere.
• To make a room interesting, use light sources at varying heights. This will add depth by creating separate areas of light and shade.
• Also allow varying intensities of light. Add dimmer switches or use three-way bulbs in lamps for flexible lighting. Alternate switching patterns among general lighting, task lights, lamps, and accent lighting can also be used. For instance, while reading, you'll need task lighting but when hosting guests, you'll want to be able to switch off the task lights and turn on the accent lights.
• Too much even light gives dull effect to a room. Give contrast or shadow, or a combination of both, to avoid boring and depressed feeling in the room.
• When there is heavily textured fabric, stone wall or grooved timber in a room, use texture in lighting too. Strong direct light have a flattening effect which cancels all textures, so avoid it when texture is the consideration.
• Dark colors absorb light. Use more lighting in rooms having dark colors than in the rooms with light colors.
• Lighting collections with similar finish and style for pendants, chandeliers, wall sconces, floor and table lamps are available to make your work simple. Using such collection in a room gives a unified look.
• For sophisticated and flexible lighting solution, you can go for curved track lighting.
