Lighting is one of the more crucial aspects to consider when designing the interior of a space. Lighting affects how the size of a room is perceived, creates ambience, and most importantly, can influence your mood.
There is far more to good lighting design than simply choosing an attractive lampshade. There are three fundamental elements of lighting design. When implemented correctly, ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting can transform your space into a place of beauty.
Lighting also influences the way you feel about space on a conscious as well as a subconscious level.
Many aspects of lighting such as colour or brightness come into play to influence the way you feel. For example in the case of an office, a bright and evenly lit space makes people feel more energetic and positive. The same space, if lit dimly or inadequately, can make occupants feel gloomy, depressed and generally unproductive.
