Light

Lighting can make a difference of how you feel about your home. It makes you feel safer and comfortable. It can add drama to any space. It can make a small room feel airy and open or a large room feel cosy.

Light complements your lifestyle. It must suit the needs of you and your family. You must look at the activities that occur in each room to create the atmosphere you want.

There are three types of lighting: general, task and accent. A good lighting plan combines them according to function and style. General lighting provides an area with good overall lightning. It generates a comfortable level of brightness. Task lightning helps perform specific tasks like reading, sewing, cooking, homework etc. It should be free of distracting shades and shadows. Accent lighting adds drama to a room by creating visual interest. For example: highlighting a picture.
