Light Up Your Life

Lighting from Porta Romana for home in Horsham

Lighting can create or decrease a feeling of space. Your lighting can either make or break the overall effect of your space.

When choosing lighting we can look at 4 main categories:-

Lights for visibility
Lights for pleasure
Task lighting
Design lighting

A bespoke lighting scheme for a chapel

Before you rush out to the shops to buy your lights, ask yourself the following questions:-

• which room do I need to light?

• who is it used by and how often?
• what activities take place?
  
• age of people who use the room?
  
• is it used mainly by day or by night?
  
• are there any interesting features I wish to highlight?
  
• what overall effect do I want to achieve?
  
• how much can I spend?
  

Design Tip : If you have a small room try to light it in at least 3 corners, as dark corners reduce the perception of space. This also works in reverse if you have a large room.
