Lighting isn’t just about visibility—it's a key design element that can completely transform a space. Here’s how to use it effectively.
1.
Ambient lighting sets the overall mood of a room. It’s the soft light that fills the space, often coming from ceiling fixtures or recessed lighting.
2.
Task lighting focuses on specific areas where activities like reading or cooking take place. Think of desk lamps.
3.
Accent lighting highlights architectural features, artwork, or decor. It adds drama and can create focal points in a room.
3.
The key to great lighting is layering. Combine ambient, task, and accent lighting to add depth.
