Make Walls, Furniture, and Artwork ‘Pop’ with Lighting Design 

Have you ever picked out a paint color at the store that you loved, only to discover it looks completely different on your walls? A slate green may turn out gray, while the violet paint in your daughter’s bedroom looks more like a rose pink. 

You can apply the same color in two rooms and achieve different results—all because of a space's lighting conditions. Light can significantly influence our perception of colors, which is why lighting design is crucial in any new home build or interior design project.

Natural and artificial light has the power to make colors appear brighter, darker, warmer, cooler, more vibrant, or neutral. Let’s explore how lighting design can impact the colors in your Zionsville, IN, home and overall improve your living space. 

Bring Beauty and Intrigue to Your Home with the Right Lighting Design

Lighting is one of the most important design elements in your home. For some, that’s a surprising statement. After all, we usually spend much more time picking out our furniture, color scheme and window coverings.

But what would our Zionsville, IN, home look like without the right lighting design? How would we feel without the natural light peering through our windows and the diffuse ambient light that filters through our room? What about the task lighting that creates the perfect space for us to perform life's many activities?

When designed correctly, lighting sets the mood and provides the proper illumination for every anticipated activity and desired ambiance. This requires a deep knowledge of layered lighting and how the many fixtures, colors, and temperatures work together to create spaces that appear to illuminate from within.

Let’s explore the different aspects of layered lighting and how it affects your home.
