Interior design in Singapore is moving
to a whole new level. Due to the utmost importance of
lighting as an element of design, it is taken more seriously
in Singapore. As such there are specialist lighting
companies in Singapore to help you install the right
lighting system for your home. These specialists understand
that lighting is not only meant to illuminate a room but
adds more to the aesthetic value of a home.
· Helps in establishing the right mood
Depending on how the lighting is designed it will give a
room a specific feel. As such you can use lighting to set
the mood of a room. This also depends on the function of
that particular room. For instance low lights can be used to
create a comfy and romantic room in a bedroom. On the other
hand bright lights are cheerful and very inspiring; as such
they are ideal for creating a light and enchanting mood in
the sitting room. A bright light also brings some sense of
energy into a room.
In creating mood, accent lighting can
be used. This modern lighting technique carries with it a
sense of personal feelings and enhances décor as well. For
example accent lighting can be installed and positioned to
light up a piece of drawing you treasure.
· Helps in space management
Using the right lighting techniques can either make your
space appear large or small. If you have a small room, using
dark lights will make it look more tiny and cluttered.
Instead use a bright light to enhance the space further.
Just using the right lights will make your room more
spacious and beautiful. On the other hand, large spaces
without enough furniture can look awful when illuminated a
lot. For a very big room, use dark lights to conceal that
extra space you have not filled up. On the contrary, you can
use directional lighting just to focus on specific areas of
the room that you want to be more visible.
· Color management
When it comes to the color of paints used on your walls,
light can make it look terrible or wonderful. A light
painted wall will do well with low lights which appear
darker. On the other hand dark colored paints require a
bright illumination. This is because bright colors are
reflected from the wall surfaces, hence using a more bright
color will make the lighting look exaggerated. On the
contrary, dark walls tend to absorb lighter make the room
much dark.
· Lights can be used to highlight specific elements of
interior design
Interior designers use lighting to lay emphasis on a
specific area of a room. In the living room, lights can be
positioned to illuminate more on wall paintings, flower
vessels, and floors. This is a technique to shift the
attention of visitors to the things you consider valuable in
your room. Actually you can ensure the lights focus on the
things that add aesthetic value to your room.
In the Kitchen direct lighting can be
used to highlight the sink, cooking, counters and areas with
most activity. Note that this technique focuses on the
object being illuminated and not where the light comes from.
· Provides decoration and adds to the architecture of
a room
Interior designers know how to use light in decorating a
room. This is normally referred to as decorative lighting
and is one of the important functions of lighting in
interior design. A perfect example of this is the use of
table lamps and wall scones. Using light to decorate your
room makes the space look elegant, inviting and warm.
Remember decoration adds beauty and you do not have to spend
a lot. It is just like ensuring you get a basic need and
using it to enhance aesthetics as well.
· Harmonize all the elements of interior design in an
attractive way
Space, color and décor are all important aspects of
interior design. However without the appropriate lighting
they all lack a sense of harmony. That is why modern lights
come in different colors and tones. For instance you can
have very expensive furniture, art work and decorative
equipment, which will mean less without lighting. Lighting
goes beyond just illumination and enhances the finer details
of any room.
Conclusion
Note that harmony is crucial in
interior design. As such use lights that blend well with the
color, space, wall paintings and décor. Consider using LED
lights if you need high quality lighting in your home. If
you are in Singapore there are numerous companies offering
lighting services. However choose wisely and ensure you get
quality lights. A good lighting technician will use advanced
creativity to make your home spectacular.
