Lighting is what brings a room to life. It’s what makes a space feel warm, comfortable, and inviting.
Up to this point, we’ve built the room layer by layer. Lighting is what highlights those layers and makes everything feel complete.
Designers think about lighting in layers — ambient, task, and accent lighting.
What this means for you is not relying on just one overhead light. Instead, using multiple light sources helps create a more comfortable and functional space.
Below is how lighting is layered throughout this room.
Instead of relying on a single overhead light, we added multiple light sources throughout the room. The ceiling fixture provides general light, while the table lamp, floor lamp, and wall lights each add their own glow.
Looking at the space, you can see how different areas are lit in different ways — the sofa, the artwork, and the corners of the room all have their own light.
We placed lighting across the room and at different heights so no one area feels too dark or too bright. There’s light near the sofa, along the wall, and overhead, which keeps everything feeling even.
Looking at the space, the light is spread out in a way that feels natural instead of concentrated in one spot.
