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 your home by layering three key types: ambient, task, and accent lighting. This approach creates mood and defines zones in different rooms.
For open-plan spaces, combine pendants over dining tables with focused task lighting in kitchens. In bathrooms, balance practical lighting from backlit mirrors with ambient pendants for a calming effect.
Living rooms benefit from dimmable lamps and accent lights to establish a relaxing atmosphere while highlighting key features like fireplaces or shelving.
