Planning the Lighting - satendra - 05-02-2015

In planning your lighting, analyze each space in terms of:

• Function: What activities will occur in the space?
• Tasks: What seeing tasks are to be done in the space?
• Objects: Which ones do you most want people to see?
• Architectural features: Which ones are to be emphasized?
• Location of furniture: Where will people sit?
• Mood: What atmosphere is desired? Should it be variable?
• Style: What must the lighting “go with”?

Lighting the walls can make the room seem more spacious.
Local pools of soft-edge light around furniture can create a mood of intimacy.
Highlighting the ceiling with indirect lighting will make the room seem more formal and spacious.
Highlighting a rug on the floor with downlighting is likely to make it cozier.
