Lighting can make a house into a home!
Allows you to stamp your personality on your room. Without good lighting, the impact of all the other well-thought out details such as sumptuous furnishings, opulent flooring and lluxurious wallcoverings will be lost. So getting the lighting right is essential.
The rule of good lighting design is to use the right type of fitting in the right position. A good rule of thumb is to question the function of every fitting. If it does not have a specific task you should omit it. Beware of scattering fittings throughout for filling in. These will light only the floor and visually make a space look small.
Good lighting creates an atmosphere in a room. The key is to understand the use of the room and apply the relevant lighting to ensure it functions well.
For example, a study will require particular attention to task lighting. An open plan living/dining/kitchen needs to have a number different types of lighting, perhaps a mix of LED spots and low level floor, LED under cupboard task lights, and mains voltage lamp light to create depth and texture in the room.
