Lighting is one of the most important elements in interior design. The right lighting can not only bring to life the colours and materials, but also create the desired mood. For residential spaces, it is important to consider the hue of the light, the brightness and even the ability to adjust the intensity of the light to set atmosphere. Different types of lighting can be used to create ambience. Natural light such as sunlight or moonlight, as well as artificial lighting such as LEDs and incandescent light bulbs can be used to achieve different levels of brightness or even colours of light needed for an area. For living and dining areas and bedrooms, warmer or softer lights such as yellows, oranges, and reds can be used to create a cozy atmosphere. Brighter lights such as blues and cool whites provide crisper illumination and are better suited for work and study areas. The fixtures and the forms of the light fittings should also be considered. Pendant lighting, wall scones, and track lighting can be used to provide focused direct lighting that illuminates certain areas, while indirect lighting such as floor lamps and uplighting can be used to create a cozy ambiance. Creative lighting solutions, such as combining different types of lighting and fixtures, can also be utilized to create dramatic effects, or to highlight artwork and other decorative pieces. Lighting has the power to bring an interior to life. With carefully thought out and creative lighting, the right atmosphere and mood can be created to any space.
