If Thomas Alva Edison were to step down on the earth today, wouldn’t he be impressed to find out that 150 years later, his little invention- the light bulb is doing much more than just emitting infrared radiation?! 

Have you ever noticed how a particular pattern of lighting can actually make or break the mood of your room? It pretty much dictates if, at the end of a tiresome workday, you will read your favourite book under a pretty lamp or go to bed annoyed and wake up to repeat the same cycle! Don’t believe us? Here’s a simple example. 

Look at the three images given below. Notice how the mood and atmosphere of the same dining room change with the changing patterns of lighting. 

Evidence from research shows that well-lit surroundings enhance energy levels, improve appetite and promote healthy sleeping patterns, whereas poorly or unevenly lit spaces pave way for depression and other health issues. 

“Lighting is everything, it creates atmosphere, drama and intrigue in a room.”

– Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Interior Designer & Author

The industry today identifies the importance of effective lighting. Thus, most architects and interior designers work in collaboration with lighting designers to create the best experience for their customers. Expertly crafted lights add another dimension to your space, making it come alive with every breath you take. 

Not only that but your room’s lighting also determines its size- wait, what? No, we meant the perceived size! While some kinds of lights might make your room appear more spacious, some might make the same room look smaller. Moreover, some lights can also be used to highlight positive and impressive corners of your house, thereby creating a sense of positivity and vitality.

Choosing the right kind of lights for your room is as important as choosing the right curtains or wall colour. Make sure you invest wisely in the correct products and work closely with your designer to settle for nothing but the best for yourself and your family!
