Lighting Design

Lighting is one of the most vital aspects of any room. It creates a certain mood and ambiance, it highlights special features such as interesting architecture or significant artwork, and it shows off color, forms and textures to their best advantage. But most importantly, it creates a safe and functional home. Knowing how you'll use a room is critical when it comes to creating a good lighting plan. No single light source can provide all the necessary lighting for a room particularly in high performance rooms, such as the kitchen or bath. Different lighting sources will create specialized effects for specific purposes and the key to making your space look and function its best is to layer these different types of light.
