Using Lighting in Interior Design

The majority of furniture and decorative elements selected to define a room’s style and character are chosen as permanent applications, with aspects such as colour, material, form and function only slightly flexible. But with intelligent and layered lighting, a constant choice can be made to light a space differently depending on the current time, activity or mood, changing its entire look and feel. By combining ambient, accent and task lighting – and by accepting the inclusion or lack of natural light – a variety of flexible lighting environments can be applied to the same space.

Decorative Lighting

That goes for the practical applications of lighting products, but there’s a strong aesthetic side to the product as well. For some, such as recessed spot lighting, the objective is to remain unnoticed so as not to distract from the rest of the space. Other specifiers, however, choose to use lighting products as major decorative elements, bringing not only light but also colour and sculpture into the experience.

Discover Lighting on Architonic

With its additional durability and weather-proof requirements, Architonic’s featured lighting products cover exterior lighting as well as interior lighting, splitting the two sections into initial subcategories. But scroll through the images and categories of the exterior lighting section of the Architonic product database, and you’ll find they can be equally as creative and striking as their interior colleagues, if not more so, with restrictive elements such as walls and ceilings removed.

Each individual product page provides important details on materials, strength, size, suitability and many more, along with design descriptions and image galleries. While specifiers can request CAD files, catalogues, dealer information and further specifications straight from the manufacturers on Architonic.
