Interior LightingWhen planning the layout of your home's interior, lighting should be a major consideration, as it can mean the difference between a cold, uninviting space and a warm, cozy nook. The amount of light and the location of light sources must be chosen carefully, and there are certain rules of thumb that need to be followed in order to illuminate your space in the most aesthetically pleasing and effective manner.

Interior lighting plays three main roles, and depending on the primary function of the space, the type and configuration of lighting will differ. It can either act as ambient lighting where the whole space is lit, task lighting where only an area of work is focused on, or accent lighting which highlights certain specific areas of a room such as a painting or an ornament.
