Lighting Dezine Tip of the Day - Lighting Considerations

Lighting Considerations

Think about the light in a room before you start planning, visit a few rooms and physically look at the space and see if the lighting works, sit down and try and read, look at the walls, are the paintings highlighted, does the room have movement and focus.
Light in the room requires contrast and/or shadow or else it will become bland. The room will feel flat and lifeless and there will be no focal point and it will not be functional. This applies to your home interiors but in commercial situations lighting is far more complex and often a studio, office or classroom will require a bright overall ambient light for concentrated work.

  1. Good point. We recently redecorated our master bedroom. We chose a beautiful chocolate brown for the walls that creates a warm and cozy feeling and is very peaceful and restful. But lighting became a huge issue because the room is now quite dark. We solved the problem by placing “up-lighting” behind a headboard we made ourselves so that light washes up the wall and highlights the art over the bed and providing more light. Lighting is crucial.
