Lighting should strike a balance between practicality and ambience. This involves blending different types of lighting with different functions. Balancing lighting in layers will help you create a well-lit space.
Primary lighting
Primary lighting is your main light source, providing overall illumination for the room. Ceiling fixtures with opal glass, such as recessed lights, chandeliers, or flush mounts, create a warm, inviting atmosphere and ensure a great all-around light.
Task lighting
Task lighting is essential in zones where you carry out specific tasks. Wall and table lights and focused track lighting help you see clearly and work safely.
Mood-creating lighting
Decorative lighting brings out the best features of your room, highlighting architectural details, artwork, or furniture.
Strategically placed wall lights add a layer of ambient light and can highlight specific areas. They also bring a sense of coziness and sophistication to the room.
LIGHTING TIP

LIGHTING TIP
The right proportions
The size of the lamp should be proportional to the room so that the fixture feels balanced and not too overpowering or undersized for the space.
