Lighting Interior design | Imago Interiors


Lighting interior design contributes greatly to the look and feel of a room.

Types of lighting

There are various types of room lighting:


We will consider each of these types of lighting.

Ambient lighting

Ambient lighting (usually from a hidden light source) creates few shadows and tends to fill the room with a glow.
Different rooms require different levels of lighting. For instance, the bedroom should have softer lighting than living areas.
A brightly lit room projects an upbeat, positive mood. A darker room has a more intimate and romantic feel.

Accent lighting

Accent lighting highlights an object in the room or an architectural feature thereby provoking interest in a room.
Whether you need to highlight an achievement such as trophies or just want to show off a feature in the room,
it is important to carefully select the lighting so that it fits in with the rest of the room.

Task lighting

Task lighting is a practical lighting strategy that highlights a given area for daily activities such as reading, meal preparation and sewing.
Effective task lighting prevents eyes strain and helps work performance.
The study and kitchen areas are ideal places to add task lighting for an effective interior design.
Task lighting sources should not produce glare.
