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 by layering three light types: ambient, task, and accent. This approach defines different zones while creating a cohesive feel, especially in open-plan living.
For kitchens, combine functional task lighting over workspaces with decorative pendants. In bathrooms, balance moody ambience with practical task lighting from backlit mirrors or sconces.
Living rooms benefit from dimmable lamps for a relaxing atmosphere and accent lighting to highlight features like art or fireplaces.
