When designing lighting for your bedroom or sitting room for example , versatility is key . These rooms often need to be bright in the morning and relaxing and cosy at night . Layering different types of lighting such as table or floor lamps with wall or ceiling lighting will allow you to achieve this effortlessly . Not only will ‘ layering ’ light sources add depth and interest , but it will also ensure you can adjust the lighting throughout the day to alter the ambience and even emotion of a room .
" There are four key ways to light your home , ambient , task , accent and decorative and each one provides a completely different effect ."
Most importantly your home is a space you should feel comfortable and able to relax in . Your interior should be an extension of your personality and your lighting choices give you the perfect opportunity to experiment and create some statement spaces . It is equally , if not more important to consider the warmth of the light and how the light is diffused through the room . Shades with a golden interior provide a warm and welcoming hue . Metallic finishes create beautiful reflections on the wall which add interest and drama . I also love the use of fabric with lighting to achieve a romantic and tranquil atmosphere . Silk is particularly timeless and luxurious for creating a ‘ soft ’ light and fabrics such as linen , cotton and jute work beautifully to add depth and texture to a room .

Task lighting for reading is essential and often this can be achieved using table lamps , floor lamps or wall lights that can be angled . My advice is to add drama with large lamps or statement designs and if possible , have lights on dimmers that can also be controlled independently from each other . If you work from home , it is also important to ensure your work area is well lit , and lighting is positioned appropriately to avoid shadows and glare to computer screens .
