Lighting is one of the most important aspects of interior design. Proper lighting can provide the right ambience to a surrounding, whether a professional or personal space. Just the right amount of colour and luminosity can work wonders. Striking the right balance between these two elements in order to create the desirable lighting is essential.

It helps filling the space in a room. Dark coloured rooms seem cramped but this can be solved with the help of lighting. Filling spaces can be further achieved if the room doesn’t have much clutter as the clutter would prevent the light to reflect off the colours on the walls. Corner lamps, track lights, etc help in achieving this purpose. This applies to home as well as office interiors.  Natural lighting is better as compared  to artificial lighting, hence spacing and positioning  of windows is important. Colours play an important role in creating the perfect lighting. Though this may sound strange, it is true. Dark colours can make the room feel the room smaller than it is. On the other hand, light, pastel shades make the room seem bigger and much spacious than it is. That is a reason why pastel shades are favoured over darker hues when it comes to getting spaces painted. Although, darker hues are good to use when it comes to using the surface as a decorative item in its own self, kind of like how a good statement necklace is enough to make a minimal outfit look impactful. Though the concept of colouring also applies to floors as well, considering how lighting can be aimed downwards. Speaking of which, direction also plays an important role in lighting. Direction of lighting can be used to fill the empty spaces in a room or to highlight a certain element. Chandeliers or similar elements add a pretty look to the room as well as help in central distribution of light from above, which works well in creating a beautiful ambience. Lights hung on the wall or ceiling help in spreading the light and are more practical. Devices like table lamps are useful in highlighting certain elements and are more useful when it comes to work spaces.
