Why is lighting so important?
Interior lighting is important because the overall perception of the room depends on it. Any living space without appropriate lighting gives off a different feel. Interior lighting has the ability to provide ambiance, mood, comfort and brightness to any given room also altering the size of it for perception. It is essential that lighting to a room is matched with its outlay and specific task, which is difficult to achieve however, it is crucial when designing the interiors of a building.
What is a lighting plan?
Lighting plan is to be made at the time of getting your interiors designed. You will need to decide on the lighting fixtures fitting that would need to be installed. Lighting plans help in order to make perfectly illuminated areas in your home. Your lighting plan usually starts to take shape after architectural and interior plans are done. To be more efficient with your lighting and installations the rooms will need evaluation regarding the type of lighting that will be placed in them. Different rooms will require specific lights to suit the room and placed appropriately for proper functioning, as well as make the rooms beautiful and comfortable.
What are the three main types of lighting?
Ambient Lighting
Ambient lighting as it implies provides general ambiance to any given room, it also creates a uniform feel to the homes lighting. Depending on your lighting scheme the lights generally are installed in a particular way in the ceiling or around the home for illumination.
Chandeliers
These light fixtures work fantastic with taller ceilings. You can choose which height is best for your lighting needs. Chandeliers are very classic pieces that work well in foyers, over the tub in the bathroom, or over large dining room tables
Pendants
Pendant lights are the most popular ceiling lights as they can double up as decorative, mood-setting pieces and functional light sources. They can be placed in a lot of areas and can hang directly above work spaces. Depending on the style and placement of the pendant, you can use these for ambient, task, or accent lighting.
LED Lights
The LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. LED lights have many advantages over other lighting technologies, including: Higher energy efficiency (‘lumens per watt’); Much longer lifetime; Switch on instantly at full brightness; Precise control and dimmable options available; Compact size, cooler operating temperature (reduced fire risk), and more.
Ceiling Lights
They are usually round or square with a low profile, and they sit flat on the ceiling. Classic styles have been designed to blend into the background with an off-white glass or acrylic cover. Ceiling lighting is standard in hallways, bedrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces, such as, patios and porches.
Task Lighting
This is a smaller more concentrated light. You want task lighting around when you’re working. In fact, some people call it office lighting. Task lighting is meant to help you see when you’re doing projects in which you need a finer light, such as, reading, cooking, writing, sewing and many other things.
Pendants
Pendant lights are lights that hang from a cable, cord, or pipe from an attachment at a ceiling, ending in a shade enclosing a light bulb that primarily provides light in a downward direction, known as a downlight.
Swing Arm Lamps
Use lamps on your desks, bedside tables, mounted next to your favorite chair or anywhere you need a little extra light for working. Swing arm lamps allow you to adjust the light anyway you’d like. Since lamps are lightweight, portable, and adjustable these are the ideal task lights.
Under Cabinet
These are the ultimate task lights. Under cabinet lights work great in your kitchen, like below. They add a flare to your kitchen and give the extra light you need for chopping and cleaning.
Vanity
Vanity lighting is standard in bathrooms and on dressing room tables. Bathroom and mirror lights provide a bright, focused light to ensure your makeup and hair is done just right!
Accent Lighting
This is a very concentrated light with the intention of drawing the eye to its focal point. Accent lighting is a way of adding style and drama to your home. People use accenting for wall washing, artwork, bookcase displays, pieces of furniture, collections and the general architecture of their homes.
Wall Lights
Wall Lights are the perfect addition to any room, a great way to make a space feel more inviting and complete. Wall lighting makes a room feel brighter and larger while creating a pleasing atmosphere. They are a great way to literally make a house feel like a home.
Recessed Lighting
Not only are can lights used for general room lighting, recessed lighting can be used for for accent lighting depending on where you place them. Place them in your ceiling or in your floor close to the wall to create a wall washing affect to illuminate a beautiful brick texture, a colorful paint design or display a huge bay window.
Landscape
Track Lighting
Track lights are great for the same reason, except they can typically cover a little more space. Try using a series of these throughout your home in rooms such as your master bedroom, den, kitchen, or living room.
