Lighting Design for Residential Interiors

Lighting is one of the most transformative elements of an interior, yet it is often overlooked.

Good lighting design balances function and atmosphere. It supports how spaces are used while enhancing architectural detail and materiality.

The Three Lighting Layers

Ambient Lighting
Provides overall illumination and sets the base tone of a space.

Task Lighting
Supports functionality in kitchens, bathrooms, and work areas.

Feature Lighting
Adds depth through pendants, wall sconces, and concealed lighting.

Designing with Intention

Warm light temperatures, thoughtful placement, and correct scale all contribute to a calm interior. Lighting should enhance a space rather than dominate it.
