The Importance of Lighting in Interior Design
Posted on April 24, 2025
Lighting can completely transform a space — from its mood to its functionality. Understanding the types of lighting and how to use them is key to great interior design.
Three Types of Lighting:
1. Ambient: General room lighting (ceiling lights, chandeliers)
2. Task: Focused lighting for activities (desk lamps, vanity lights)
3. Accent: Highlights design elements (spotlights, LED strips)
Design Tips:
– Use dimmers for flexibility
– Mix lighting sources to create depth
– Match color temperature to your room’s purpose (warm for cozy, cool for focus)
Smart Upgrade: Try smart bulbs that let you adjust tone and brightness right from your phone.
