Light is fundamental to life on Earth. It is arguably one of the most important elements in any room. Without light, we cannot perform our daily activities such as reading, writing, and watching television. During day time, we make use of natural sunlight. But for night time, we depend on artificial light from lighting fixtures. Lighting has come a long way since the days of the candle. We now have a selection of modern, efficient, and stylish lighting fixtures. From spot lights to portables, to decorative lighting and beyond; lighting fixtures can be used indoors or out to brighten a room, spotlight artwork, and decorate a garden. When it comes to choosing the right lighting for your living space, its important to consider the type of room, the style of the furniture, the architectural details, the size of the room and the amount of available lighting.The amount of natural light varies, based on the location and the window treatment. If there is little natural light coming through the windows, you may opt for more lighting fixtures to make the room bright and cheery. Talk to a lighting consultant to help you determine the number and types of fixtures needed in a room. Lighting can also be used to create atmosphere and can be used in a variety of ways such as up-light, down-light, or wall-wash to create different moods. The right lighting can define a space and set the tone for a room. Its important to remember that lighting should not only be beautiful but also functional. When choosing the right lighting fixtures, make sure to get the right size and brightness for the space, as well as energy efficiency. Different bulbs such as incandescent, LED or halogen may be appropriate for different rooms. Lighting fixtures should be placed where they can provide both function and beauty. Lighting can be an important factor in the interior design process. With the right mix of fixtures, you can create the perfect ambience for any room in your home.
