Light That Shapes Your Space

 

One of my favorite elements within Interior Design! 

 

Since human perception and psychophysical well-being in daily life are largely influenced by the stimulus of light

 

Clever lighting can transform any room, adding depth, warmth, and a touch of magic to your home. It’s not just about seeing clearly, it sets the vibe, highlights your space’s best bits, and balances light and shadow to energise the design. Good lighting makes a room feel open and welcoming, while bad lighting can make it feel small and dull. It’s a game-changer in interior design, boosting colours, textures, and architectural details as well as a fundamental tool in promoting health and wellbeing.

 

The science behind it is pretty cool:

Bright, cool-toned lights (4000K-5000K) sharpen focus for spaces like a study, while warm, dim lights (2700K-3000K) create a cosy, relaxed feel for lounges. Daylight (5000K-6500K) even lifts your mood and productivity. 

 

There are three key types of lighting:

Ambient (such as chandeliers, floor lamps or ceiling lights for overall homely glow), task lighting to make seeing details easier (undercounter kitchen lighting, or desk lamps for focused work), and accent (spotlights or picture lights to show off art or architectural features). Choosing the right fixtures means planning carefully to match the room’s style and purpose, ensuring a space that’s both functional and inviting.
