Lighting is a key element in any environment. It creates the atmosphere, illuminating a certain scene and focus on a space. Good lighting can totally transform a room, bringing together various styles. Lighting comes in many forms and can be directed in different ways. Try to combine natural and artificial light with a mix of direct and/or indirect light. Natural light brings life and is free but it can create a glare. Artificial lights may be necessary to provide fuller and more consistent illumination. Choose light sources based on the rooms function. For example, a soft, warm ambience might be suitable for a bedroom or living room. While for a work area, lighting must be bright and stimulating. Experiment and try different combinations of lighting to create the desired atmosphere. When deciding on the type of lighting, always consider the brightness, colour, temperature, type of lightbulb and cost. With a good and creative lighting plan, a room can be brought to life. Practical lighting features, such as task lighting and dimmers, also help while making a room look nice. Overall, lighting creates the mood in any room and is an important part of the interior design. With the right level of illumination, rooms can be transformed from dull to dazzling.
