Brilliant interior lighting design to enhance your home
In the excitement of decorating and furnishing a room, lighting can often be something of an afterthought. At London interior design company Rudolph Diesel Interiors we believe that the right lighting design should be an integral part of the interior design process; it can make a huge difference to the overall look and feel of a room.
Different types of lighting to consider
Ambient lighting provides overall lighting cover, with the aim of achieving a comfortable level of brightness, without glare. In some spaces, such as utility rooms, the ambient lighting also functions as task lighting, and is therefore considerably brighter.
Accent lighting creates visual interest, adding drama to a space. The focus could be a series of paintings or a sculpture in a reception room or a structural feature such as a staircase. Accent lighting can also be used to highlight textures within a room, such as a brick or stone wall.
Task lighting is the workhorse of the lighting stable. It must provide enough light for you to perform specific tasks, such as preparing and cooking food, personal grooming or any other activity where good lighting is required.
Mood lighting is designed to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. This type of lighting often brings together existing elements in a room to create the appropriate mood. For example, dimmers can be used to reduce general lighting levels, while accent lights can play a role in brightening up key areas within a darkened space.
A professional interior designer will incorporate lighting that is appropriate to room size and layout, reflecting colour, fabric and furniture choices. The designer will also consider the type of bulb that should be used, selecting from a myriad of exciting, energy-efficient options, from Edison bulbs to LEDs and halogen bulbs.
