Shed light in all the room!
Bright light in a room – though most would consider it would make the space appear brighter – usually has the adverse effect. Very bright lights create intense reflections causing eye pupils to dilate, making the space appear darker. The answer is to spread the light evenly throughout the room by placing light sources in prominent positions to support the ceiling or wall lighting, thus transforming the room into a cosier, comfortable space.
Use numerous light sources.
The best and most effective lighting design solution is the incorporation of a variety of light sources in a space. A central light in the room will simply not suffice! It cannot adequately illuminate the whole room, thus using floor or table lamps usually does the trick! It softens the atmosphere in the space while simultaneously helps achieve substantial space illumination. For example, table lamps on night stands can be dimmed a necessity.
Focus on what’s important!
The secret in getting the lighting right in any space is not how bright the room gets after you have installed all the lighting fixtures. It’s the emphasis placed on the pieces you consider important in your space. For example, shedding light on a beautiful painting hanging on a wall, your wine collection in the living room or where you would sit to enjoy reading a book, and relax! It is a fact that, the more balanced the illumination of a space is, the better it is highlighted and its character is projected! Choose the style of the lighting fixture that characterises you the most. Consider chrome or brass, leather, or wood and make your choice between modern or traditional by adding elements that will complement your space.
