Planning Your Light Placement
Before installing any fixtures, a clear plan is essential for achieving a beautiful and highly functional result. A good lighting design considers how each space is used and the specific mood you want to create.
Taking time to plan is the most critical step.
Indoor Lighting Planning
Inside your home, the most effective approach is to think in layers. Every room benefits from combining three types of light: ambient (the room’s general, overall light source), task (focused light for activities like reading or cooking), and accent (directional light to highlight artwork or architectural details).
By considering these layers for each room, you can create a balanced, versatile, and practical design.
Outdoor Lighting Planning
For your home's exterior, start by sketching a rough layout of your property. Mark all the key zones you want to illuminate, such as pathways, stairs, patios, driveways, and any special features like fountains or trees. Consider the view from both inside your home and from the street. It's also essential to be a good neighbor by directing light downward where possible to illuminate the ground, not the sky, avoiding unnecessary glare.
