Want to pull the attention of your guests towards a beautiful vase or a picture frame? Wish to make every minute thing of your interiors to be easily noticed? You have designed the interiors of your home or office space in the best possible way and wish to enhance it; try the lighting scheme.
Lighting scheme depends on the atmosphere of the place
The basic principle which is followed while arranging the lighting scheme for a particular place is that everything should be illuminated if not highlighted. The lighting scheme used at an office environment will be totally different from the one used at a restaurant. The things present in the room also play an important role as they reflect light and their color material becomes a factor while choosing the color of your lights. It is you who has to judge what color lighting you want; either to make the room lively and cool or cozy and warm.
Object Lighting
Object lighting, also known as accent lighting is a method of focusing the light directly on the object. By using accent lighting you can be very innovative by trying out different effects. But one should be careful of not overdoing it because then it would make your room look disorganized. Try to light-up selective things; lighting-up everything will highlight nothing at all. It’s advisable to choose a lamp which has a thin beam of light to make the highlighting more prominent. Else you can even dim the surrounding lighting of the object to create an efficient effect.
- The overhead light system you chose at the centre of the room shouldn’t cast shadows and must have lights of low-voltage.
- The table lamps should be placed at the corners of the room to make it look more spacious and comfortable.
- Wall lights should be mounted at a position which has an unmovable feature under it, like a fireplace.
- A horizontal lighting system is required for your dressing table to avoid shadow on your face.
- Lampshades which are dark from outside and white from inside will give your room a warm and cozy feeling.
