Lighting is the biggest difference you can make in a space! Thats why this month were focusing on LIGHT! Light can transform the mood and functionality of a room and it is a master manipulator on the illusion of space. Its a culprit in making design tricky but it is beyond rewarding when you get it just right!
Different types of light
When designing, it’s important to use multiple types of lighting. By giving the client layers of light, this allows them to control the mood and functionality of what they need throughout the day. A few of these layers are: general, task and decorative.
General lighting
General lighting covers overhead and recessed lights. This includes chandeliers, large pendants, canned lights, etc. This is an important base of lighting, that should not be skipped.
We can’t wait to show you the rest of this project! But until then, we can tell you that this was the very first piece picked and it helped curate the rest of the home.
This is the perfect example where general lighting can be an art piece in itself!
Task Lighting
Task Lighting covers forms of more direct light. Such as desk lamps, under-cabinet lights, or directional floor lamps. Perfect for reading after the sun goes down. Once you live with this ambient light, you won’t ever want to live without it.
Does this picture look familiar? We worked hard to make this custom bookcase come to life! We think it turned out beautifully, check it out if you want to see the rest of the home!
Decorative Lighting
Decorative lighting is the cherry on top. This could include lighting that glows underneath a cabinet, or recessed lighting in bookshelves. This type of lighting is fun to play with and shows that you went the extra step.
Isn’t this the perfect spot to cozy up to on a rainy day? We designed this custom bookcase to help balance out the space and add some extra color. See how pretty the light reflects off the metallic wallpaper? We love it!
