Atmospheric living with a spectacular lighting plan

The power of lighting in interior design is often underestimated. In fact, a lighting plan is a very essential component in interior design. First of all, it provides visibility in the evening hours. In addition, lighting plays in an important role in the atmosphere and appearance you want to give an interior. Choosing the right types of lighting and fixtures results in an atmospheric home.

How do you create a harmonious lighting plan?

A good lighting plan consists of three types of lighting, namely: basic lighting, decorative lighting and accent lighting.


Basic Lighting Designing a lighting plan begins with choosing the basic lighting for your home. This lighting forms the foundation of the home and is essential. Without this basic lighting, you cannot function properly. Examples of this type of lighting include ceiling lights, ceiling spotlights, and lights above the dining room table. It is the lighting that allows you to illuminate a space directly. You determine the right lighting based on the size of the room. If you need to provide basic lighting for a small room, a ceiling light is sufficient. If the room is a bit larger, ceiling spotlights are often used.

Decorative Lighting
After the basic lighting comes the decorative lighting. This is lighting that can create a specific atmosphere in a room. If your home has a modern, minimalist style, ceiling spotlights can enhance that atmosphere. Would you rather create a cozy look instead of a modern one? Then candlelight combined with dimmed wall sconces is a good solution. The fixtures themselves are also important for setting the right mood. Look for a family of light fixtures—fixtures that complement each other well but aren’t exactly the same. This approach creates a unique and cohesive lighting plan.

Accent Lighting
The name says it all: lighting designed to create an accent. Accent lighting can draw just that little bit of extra attention to certain elements in a living space, such as unique works of art or sculptures.

A Shining Eye-Catcher in the Interior

An interior is often distinguished by the use of a unique fabric on the sofa or by an exclusive kitchen. But lighting can also distinguish an interior. A robust pendant lamp in the hall or an elegant table lamp on the sideboard. All are eye-catchers that make the interior distinctive. Like a painting or sculpture, lighting can be used as high-quality art. When choosing the right lighting, the right light color and light tone should also be considered. By choosing a bluer shade, you create a slightly cooler atmosphere. And vice versa, choosing an orange shade of light creates a warmer atmosphere. A shade in between is often chosen.
