Lighting Up Your Living Atmosphere

Ambiance of a room or the place we live on has its own impact on the mood of the human mind. No one wants to work on a tiring work atmosphere. The interiors, the furniture, music, lighting ,everything has to be comfy to get a workable atmosphere. The importance of a well lit interior or a workspace tells a lot about the people and its potential. As one of the pioneer in interior design team in Kerala, Carion Bilta, contain the idea of creating the apt ambiance for your homes. Here we are focusing the limelight towards the interior lighting and the methods.
Ingeneous Bed Rooms

When it comes about lighting ,there are two rules: You should have a mix of light sources at different levels to create a flattering ambiance, and you need appropriate task lighting for whatever you do in that space (reading, sauteing, getting dressed). The key areas in a home are Living Room,Dining Room, Kitchen,Bed room and the Bath room.

In the Living room,light three of the four corners, focusing one of those lights on an object (art, a plant, a striking chair). Use a combination of table lamps and floor lamps, some with a downward glow and some that shine upward. Allow for reading in as many seats as possible with down-glowing lamps on three-way switches. If you have an overhead fixture, put it on a dimmer.

Dining Room, To draw people in, make the table the brightest spot in the room. Use a chandelier or a pendant above the table, limiting the total wattage to 100. Elsewhere in the room, indirect lighting is best—it’s relaxing and flattering. Give the space a subtle glow with a pair of small table lamps on a sideboard or matching sconces on the wall above. Battery-powered votives inside a glass-front china cabinet can be a nice touch.
Sleek Workspaces

In the kitchen , focus on overhead lighting (on a dimmer that you can crank up when cooking), and add lower sources to illuminate work surfaces. Use pendants, under-cabinet lights, or a sturdy table lamp (kept away from the sink).

For your bedroom, aim for a cozy, insular atmosphere: Place reading lamps or sconces by the bed—but not pointed directly at it. If you have recessed or track fixtures, angle them away from the bed, toward the dressing area. On a low table, include a small, intimate lamp with a tinted low-wattage bulb to mimic candlelight.

Bath room,the best choice for applying makeup is sidelights, such as a pair of sconces flanking the mirror. An overhead light helps fill in any shadows on your face and also fully illuminates the room (important when cleaning). In a large space, you might also want a light directly over the shower.

The lighting in a home changes the mood of a room just as it does the perceived size of a room. Placement and type are important aspects of interior design, and they work in conjunction with color selections, room size, availability of natural light and furniture selection. The elements that come together when the right lighting is achieved transform a room into a seamless combination of functionality and style.
