The Importance of Lighting in Your North Carolina Home
/As an interior designer, I can't stress enough the importance of lighting in every space of your home. Lighting is not just about illuminating a room. It's an essential tool in creating the right atmosphere and enhancing the overall aesthetic of your space. In this post, I want to focus on chandeliers, lamps and accent lighting and share with you some of the benefits of lighting in various spaces of your home.
Chandeliers are a great way to add elegance and sophistication to any room. They can be used as a focal point in a dining room or living room and can set the tone for the entire space. They come in a variety of styles, from traditional to modern, and can be customized to fit any decor. In this space we added a semi-flush mount light over the sink area that coordinates with the breakfast nook chandelier. Additionally, can you tell we were inspired by the chandelier's design when we created this custom accent railing?
Lamps are another essential lighting fixture that every space should have. They provide a soft, warm glow that can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Table lamps are perfect for reading nooks or as a bedside table accessory, while floor lamps are ideal for illuminating dark corners and creating a focal point in a room. This is still one of my favorite bedrooms to date! So cozy yet sophisticated.
Finally, let's talk about accent lighting. Accent lighting is the perfect way to highlight architectural features or artwork in your home. It can create drama and depth in a space by casting shadows and adding texture. It's a great way to showcase your personal style and add a unique touch to your space. Our client loved highlighting her favorite pup!
