Lighting, which originates from the Latin word ‘lux, refers to the illumination of spaces and rooms utilizing various sources of light. Mindful use of lighting elements in interior spaces can lend a comfortable and pleasing atmosphere, while cleverly utilizing the different characteristics of light sources to enhance the design of the area. Lighting encompasses artificial lights, natural lights, and sconces and chandeliers. Its uses range from providing basic illumination all the way to helping to create depth and texture in the room. Artificial lighting sources include lamps, recessed lighting, and task lighting. Natural lighting encompasses skylights, windows and sun tunnels. Chandeliers and sconces play a large role in accompanying rooms in interesting ways, allowing for enticing aesthetics. Different types of lighting can be used in different scenarios. Natural light is great for most living rooms and bedrooms and can be used to create interesting design elements. Spotlights are great for kitchen spaces, as they provide bright, ambient lighting that will make the area look inviting and engaging. Artificial light can be used to give spaces an inviting atmosphere or to create contrast and depth. Lighting is an integral part of a space, and can be used to adjust one's mood by creating a specific atmosphere. Depending on the style one is trying to achieve, one can choose between warm lights and cool lights, and also different styles and patterns. The result will define the space, and its ability to captivate and inspire. Lighting is an incredibly powerful design element, and its importance should not be overlooked when creating interior spaces.
