Lighting is one element of interior design that is often overlooked. But, when you consider it, the lack of proper lighting can have a tremendous impact on your space. Lighting can affect your mood and even the overall perceived size of a space, which is why it is an essential element of any design scheme. Proper lighting can drastically alter the atmosphere of your room, it can enhance the colours used in your decor, and can even prove useful in marking different areas of your home.

In order to properly light your space, you must first envision all the possible situations you will use that particular room for, and how lighting will be needed. Imagine yourself in each scenario and think about where your light will be coming from.
For example, in the living room, try to envision the functionality of that space at different times during the day. Will your guests retire to your living room after you have hosted a dinner? Will this be your family’s Game Night destination? Will you spend time curled up reading in your favourite living room chair? All of these different scenarios require specific types of lighting. Once you have determined how you would like to use your space, you can move on to selecting what type of lighting and light fixtures you will need.
