Lighting has the power to change the entire atmosphere of a room. Natural lighting has many great benefits, but most of us rely on artificial lighting for the majority of the day. Knowing how to layer your lighting for the best possible effect is key for any great interior. The layered lighting approach involves having both ambient lighting, task lighting and accent lighting. Ambient lighting is the general lighting such as wall sconces, recessed lighting and chandeliers. This is the primary source of light in the room. The next layer is task lighting which provides light to a specific area or task within the room. Examples of task lighting are table lamps and floor lamps. Finally, accent lighting is the least of the three but it has a big impact on the overall look of the room or space. Accent lighting can be a pendant light over a kitchen counter, wall sconces alongside a mirror, or a lighted sculpture. When it comes to choosing the right light fixtures, it is important to consider how each of the layers can work together to create the right atmosphere. By combining a few different kinds of lights and effects, you can create a lighting solution that is both dynamic and beautiful. Furthermore, you should also consider your furnishing in regards to the placement of lights. The correct placement of the lights is necessary for each light layer to contribute to the atmosphere. In conclusion, lighting can be used to create a perfect atmosphere for your space.
