Just like paint colour, fabrics and flooring – lighting can dramatically transform a space. Lighting impacts a lot of our perception of a space – its size, our comfort in it, even its place in our home. By considering your lighting choices carefully, you can make the most of your home.
Make a small room feel larger
There are a few ways to use light to enlarge spaces. Opt for natural white light for home interiors over yellow or tinted bulbs. Also, try placing light fixtures higher up on the wall, add recessed lighting, or hang lights from your ceiling. Using off-floor lighting will preserve your limited floor space, but create brightness and a sense of openness.
Set the mood
Anyone who’s struggled to get out of bed on those grey days knows that lighting can dramatically affect our moods. Creating ambiance with lighting to your advantage can help – soft, warm light can make a space feel intimate and cozy. Bright, white light can add a clean, invigorating pop.
Establish the flow
Open spaces can get overwhelming, define spaces with lighting design to create distinct functional areas. Add centered lights over each area to keep them in focus, use hanging pendants over a dining area or floor lamps to section off your living areas.
Transform your home with lighting
As Joel Anthony says, “lighting fixtures make or break a home”. Whether you’re looking to create a tone, define a space or just make the most of what you have – we can help light the way.
