Lighting is a very important aspect of interior design; it’s a functional necessity that sets the overall mood and ambience of the place. Be it an elegant lampshade, a classy table lamp or a drop dead gorgeous chandelier, the art of lighting can wonderfully enhance your environment. Shantanu Garg details some interesting tips on how not to go wrong with lighting techniques.
- Lights in the form of glass chandeliers, Moroccan lamps and vintage lanterns add a dramatic appeal to one’s space. Light installations make a bold statement by creating contrast, especially if used in a simple setting.
- Efficient use of lights can add or take away the focus from colours used in a room. The illusion of space is defined by light reflected on the surface of walls. Use a range of lights in varying heights to evenly distribute the light. Focus more light to certain spots, like a great piece of art or favourite objects to create balanced luminance.
- Cluster of lights in varying heights is another artistic way to create light installations at home. The material used to create these lights play an important role in highlighting the space. Lights in jewellery design are another trend that is catching up.
- Keeping different areas of a room at different brightness levels helps prevent ‘lighting fatigue’. Colour palette, materials and finishes coupled with correct lighting is the right combination to set the mood of the room.
