As we bask in the height of summer, it’s the perfect time to begin thinking ahead to those warm, cosy nights that are just around the corner. The transformative power of lighting in interior design cannot and should not be underestimated. Whether you’re a seasoned home decorator or just starting to dip your toes into the world of interiors, understanding how to use layered lighting can dramatically elevate the ambiance and functionality of your spaces, preparing them for the upcoming change in seasons.
Let’s start with one of my favourite concepts, layered lighting. This approach involves using multiple light sources to create a well-balanced and flexible atmosphere in any room.We seen excellent examples of this when we went to visit San Carlo in Liverpool. Each light source plays a crucial role:
The incredible aspect of good lighting is its ability to transform a room instantly. Let’s explore how different types of lighting can alter the look and feel of two specific areas in your home: the living room and the bedroom.
In the living room, ambient light welcomes relaxation and gathering. Adding layers with floor lamps by cosy armchairs or a series of table lamps on side tables can create a warm, inviting environment. For a touch of drama, use accent lighting over your favourite art pieces or architectural features. This not only enhances the room’s depth but also brings a dynamic quality to your social space.
The bedroom calls for a serene approach. Soft, warm ambient lighting often works best, possibly achieved with dimmable ceiling lights or a modern central pendant. Bedside lamps or wall-mounted reading lights offer practical task lighting, perfect for nighttime reading without straining your eyes. For a touch of luxury, accent lighting can be used behind headboards or around mirrors to add a soft, romantic glow that enhances the room’s calmness.
As we have discussed many times before, smart lighting solutions can add convenience and efficiency to your home. Adjusting the brightness, colour, and even the direction of your lights with a simple voice command or a tap on your smartphone. This technology not only enhances your home’s functionality but also helps in energy conservation.
Remember, lighting is not just about visibility—it’s about vision. It’s about seeing your home in a new light and using that insight to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also resonate with your personal style and comfort.
