Light fixture as key element in the design of a room.

Writer's picture: Eva ZanettiEva Zanetti

When it comes to home furnishings, light is often underestimated. Light is often treated as surplus, something to be added at the end, out of mere necessity and not, instead, to give style, depth and beauty to the room.

Its importance, often overshadowed by other elements, is to be considered as primary and must be evaluated before the start of the a project.






The right lighting can help to promote productivity and it can also make us feel relaxed and comfortable; it helps define spaces and draws people together. The best thing to do in any space is to know how you are planning to use it and then to think in layers. Every room should have a mix of lighting, including overhead, accent and task lights

Consider design, as well as function, when choosing the right light fixtures for your rooms. We look at 4 different types:

  • Ambient (soft lighting that puts out an overall ambient glow)

  • General (can be a combo of all sources but think mainly overhead lighting)

  • Task/Directional (lighting a particular area where a task is performed)

  • Accent (adding drama to a space, decorative)


When it’s done right, lighting is the unsung element that brings your design to the next level!
