Lighting plan considerations for beautiful rooms
Here’s how to enhance the spaces in your home with a cohesive lighting plan.
AI summary
A successful lighting plan enhances your home's mood and functionality by layering three light types: ambient, task, and accent. A cohesive scheme is crucial for defining zones in open-plan living while maintaining a unified feel.
For kitchens, combine pendants with practical under-cabinet and plinth lighting. In bathrooms, balance essential task lighting from backlit mirrors with calming ambient lights. Use dimmable lamps and accent lighting in living rooms to create a relaxing atmosphere and highlight architectural features.
