Why Lighting is Essential in Interior Design
When designing an interior space, proper lighting is key. It’s important to have a well-thought-out electrical installation plan, as lighting fixtures are not only a source of illumination but also a decorative accessory that can enhance any space, giving it character and a unique charm.

With a wide range of options available today, the most important thing is to know how to use lighting to reflect your home’s personality and essence. No matter what vision you have in mind, we suggest following these essential lighting tips and exploring this year’s trends to inspire your quest for the perfect lighting in your home.
- Define the Space
Before you start, consider a few key questions to help you choose the perfect lighting for the room: What atmosphere do you want to create? How can you best utilize natural light?
Each room can have multiple functions. For example, your living room might have a reading nook, storage space, and an entertainment area. Each of these spaces needs specialized lighting to enhance the decor and evoke the desired emotions, as the feelings you want to inspire vary with each activity.

- Directional or Diffused Light?
Once you’ve defined the space, it’s essential to determine the type of lighting you’ll use. Each type has distinct characteristics and purposes. Let us explain:
- Directional Light: Focuses a solid beam of light on a specific surface, ideal for highlighting particular areas.
- Diffused Light: Spreads throughout the room, creating a soft glow. While diffused lighting is a popular decorative choice, it can make it difficult to see clearly in some settings, so it’s often best to combine it with directional lighting.

- Layer Your Lighting
A practical rule for any room is to have at least two different light sources. These should be layered based on the room’s height and the size of the objects within it. For instance, if you have high ceilings, direct the light upwards to accentuate the height, and add directional lights on shelves to highlight design elements. Floor and table lamps can provide decorative solutions while also adding another level of functional lighting.
