Lighting plan considerations for beautiful rooms
Here’s how to enhance the spaces in your home with a cohesive lighting plan.
AI summary
A successful lighting plan enhances mood and functionality by layering three types: ambient, task, and accent lighting. This creates a cohesive feel while defining different zones in your home.
For open-plan spaces, use pendants over dining tables and targeted task lighting in kitchens. In bathrooms, combine moody accents with practical backlit mirrors. Living rooms benefit from dimmable lamps and LED strips to create a relaxing atmosphere while highlighting key features, ensuring every space is both beautiful and practical.
