Design and Lighting Tips

Indirect lighting and daylight are the best forms of lighting for our health and wellness. Glare must be managed to provide a visually comfortable space. There are several techniques, such frosted glass, window treatments, up lighting, etc., that can be helpful in managing glare.

At different times of the day and night, our bodies, eyes, and brain need different amounts of light. We also need to vary that amount of light when we perform activities or when we want to relax in the evening. This can be achieved by layering your lighting and having your light on dimmers.

Enhance the beauty of your space by looking for the room’s focal point and designing with light to draw the eyes’ attention to that pivotal point. When you use recessed lights to accent art and architectural features, select fixtures where the lamp is regressed to hide any stray light that would take away from your interior's design.

When you wake up in the middle of the night for that bathroom or kitchen trip, light in your eyes can be blinding and, sometimes, jarring experience. Instead, light your path and consider putting lights in the toe kick space or even use lamp lights or wall lights without clear glass. Remember – manage that unnecessary glare, especially during those late-night snack trips.
