Lighting is a primary component of the interior design. With the proper fixtures and bulbs, lighting can create atmosphere and set the mood of a home. There are many different types of lighting available. Natural lighting, such as sunlight, is essential in performing everyday tasks and providing a pleasing aesthetic ambience. Artificial lighting is used to enhance the natural lighting by amplifying brightness, creating additional decorative sources, and focusing attention on specific areas. There are many different types of artificial lighting such as ambient, accent, and task lighting. Ambient lighting is dispersed throughout a room to provide overall illumination. Accent lighting emphasizes particular elements in the room, such as artwork or furniture by directing a concentrated beam of light on them. Task lighting is highly directional to provide brightness to a particular area. Lighting should always be carefully chosen to create an inviting atmosphere. Incorrectly installed, wrong wattages, and mismatched colors can be difficult to correct once it has been installed. Be sure to consider the size and height of a fixture and the wattage required for the space. It is also important to choose lighting that is compatible with the homes décor. In conclusion, lighting is an important factor for creating the desired atmosphere in a home. Careful consideration should be given to determine what type of lighting works best for the space and the décor. With the proper lighting, a home can be transformed into an illuminated oasis that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
