Lighting has an impact on us in all aspects of life, sometimes even more than we are aware of. To properly set up the lights to give enough light or to give light of higher quality that is what our desired brightness can be a difficult task. Bad lighting in our home creates a general atmosphere of discomfort; we often feel tired, uneasy, and grouchy.

1. Optimize Doctoral Light
To determine how to illuminate a space, assess the amount of natural light the room gets in a day. Identify areas where additional fixtures may be required. Include mirrors to reflect and distribute daylight in the space. You may drape a combination of sheer curtains and light roller shades to brighten a room and add a cozier, airier ambiance. You may also use window light filters.
2. Adjust Lighting to Different Areas
This is most likely because each area gets a different amount of natural light. It’s best to plan separately for each area of the house, like the living room, bedroom and kitchen to ensure lighting is right for each space.
Living room: To create the right ambiance, use several sources of warm lighting and blend different types. Focus light for coffee tables, pendant lights, and lighted table lamps for gentle corners. Atmosphere can be improved for social gatherings by using accent lights on bookshelves, architectural and plant lighting.
Bedroom: Restorative and relaxing spaces require warm and gently diffused lighting. Alighting lamps should be bedside, and dimmable for ‘wind down’ and bedtime reading, while flexible task lamps and adjustable wall lamps are more efficient at heighted lights.
Kitchen: Cool, bright lights for cooking and meal preparation are a requirement. Your recessed ceiling lights are best while under-cabinet lights are best for cutting-out shadows on counters. For family and guest meals pendant lights should be placed over the dining table for warm and softened light to create an inviting and relaxing space.
3. Lampe covering influence
The sense of light in a room can be altered to a great extent by the type of lampshade. Using natural fibers and soft colors to filter the light into a soft glow instead of exposing a naked bulb to your eye throwing out a harsh, uninviting glare. For this pattern, woven fabric, linen and rattan is ideal. You can upgrade the look and feel of your home by mixing and matching different textures.
4. Use Various Types of Fixtures
Relying on ceiling lights is a mistake as they rarely provide sufficient light to create a pleasant atmosphere alone. Rather, consider lighting your space in layers, with various kinds of fixtures for both function and character. For instance, a pendant chandelier above the dining table can serve as a dramatic focal point. Layering the light sources helps you to add depth, visual intrigue and a warm glow which ultimately makes your living space feel more comfortable and inviting.
