The good lighting guide LIGHT HOUSE

Designer tip "DIFFERENT LIGHTING LEVELS ARE REQUIRED AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND FOR DIFFERENT TASKS," SAYS MARIE. "HAVING THE FLEXIBILITY TO ADJUST THE LEVEL OF LIGHTING IS KEY." THIS DESIGN BY MAINE HOUSE INTERIORS FOLLOWS THAT TO A TEE.

Lighting possesses transformative superpowers, and can take a room's ambience from institutional to intimate with the flick of a switch. Without this contrast between light and dark, a space can read as flat and lifeless.

Selena Mohr, interior designer at Your Beautiful Home, has noticed a shift in attitude towards the value of thoughtful lighting design. "Clients are really appreciating lighting more and thinking beyond just throwing a few downlights in," she says. "They consider how integral it is to the overall design concept and feel of a home." Clayton Driessen, a buyer and designer for Beacon Lighting, concurs. "People are realising how much the lighting affects day-to-day life, especially as our homes are becoming multipurpose hubs," he says.

Marie Botsis-Premici, director and founder of The Montauk Lighting Co., highlights the importance of creating a lighting plan that complements how you intend to live in each space. "Having multiple light sources that give you control over the amount of light you need is the best way to create a home that you enjoy living in," she explains.
