IDEA
LIGHTING DOES MORE THAN
BRIGHTEN YOUR LIVING
SPACE - IT CAN ALSO
ENHANCE THE COLOURS
AND HIGHLIGHTS IN A ROOM

A PERFECTLY LIT
ROOM HAS THREE
BASIC LAYERS:
OVERHEAD, TASK
AND ACCENT
LIGHTING.
hen you're doing major
renovations, plan the lighting as
early as you can,' says Sarah
Beeny. 'If you're redoing the
lighting in an existing room,
make a scale drawing showing natural light
sources and fittings such as fireplaces and
doors. Then think hard about how you want to
use the space. Will you be reading or watching
television, socialising or working there? Is the
room used mostly during daylight or at night?
Where will you sit, and where are the entry
points and high traffic areas in the room? Are
there any specific artworks or pieces of furniture
you want to highlight?
'Then you can get down to designing the
kind of lighting you want,' she continues. 'Think
about the level of diffuse background light that
will make the space comfortable. Plan accent
lighting to create areas of focus and shade;
find lighting without glare for close work areas
and reading, and spotlighting for features.
'Mark the lighting with directional arrows
on the plan to create an interplay of darker
and lighter areas, with the lighting sources
placed at different heights to give added
interest. Then plan where the switches will
be fitted - definitely near the door, but
perhaps also where you sit and read.'
AMBIENT LIGHTING
This is the background lighting that brightens
an entire area, and acts as a replacement
for natural sunlight. A central pendant light
usually provides ambient lighting, but this can
sometimes be rather harsh and uninspiring.
To soften its effect, use low-wattage bulbs or
dimmer switches. Wall lights are also a form
of ambient lighting.
