Lighting does more than just illuminate a room; it defines it. Ever been in a space where something just felt right? It was probably the lighting. Designers often use lights to highlight architectural features or artwork, bringing depth and visual intrigue to an otherwise plain space. Miss these cues, and you miss an opportunity to add designer touches affordably.
Some homeowners are unaware of this secret and stick to ceiling lights, thinking they’re enough. The trick, insiders say, is layering—combining overheads with task and accent lighting. This creates an atmosphere that’s not just functional but also versatile. A living room can instantly transition from a casual hangout to a sophisticated dining area!
