Lighting plays a key role in any space, both in terms of décor and setting an atmosphere. The way light comes into a space can make a huge difference in how an area feels, and of course, its practical use. Whether youre looking to design a living room, office, restaurant, bar or other public space - usually, the best approach is to combine different lighting fixtures that youll find in various parts of the room. For example, general lighting, such as overhead ceiling lights or wall sconces, work great for providing general light throughout the space. To supplement this, other areas can be lit with accent lighting, such as track lighting and recessed lights. Task lighting is also an important aspect to consider when designing lighting in a space. This type of lighting is aimed at specific tasks - reading, food prep, etc. - and should be positioned so that it doesnt conflict with general lighting. Lastly, dont be afraid to add a touch of personality to an area by placing decorative lighting. From art deco lamps and chandeliers to modern pendant lights, they can be used to make a statement and also add a bit of warmth and ambience to an area. Lighting is a great way to set the tone of any space, so make sure to use it to your advantage and have fun with it!
