Architectural, Decorative, Fancy & Ambience Lights | How To Use Lights | Vaishno Lights Gurugram

Creating an interior design project without a lighting designer is like going out for dinner and only eating what’s in the bread basket. The bread may be excellent, but you’re missing out on many more interesting dishes. Expertly placed lighting adds another dimension to a space, bringing an interior design project to life.

Great lighting creates depth and height, cosy spots, and draws attention to your most impressive areas. It’s all about the balance of light and shade and bringing new energy to an interior. An architect or interior designer may just draw a grid of downlights into their plans for your interior, which won’t do justice to what they have designed. Calling in lighting experts to work in harmony with your interior designer or architect will maximise the impact of your space.

We asked Design Associate Sabrina Fiorina to highlight the importance of lighting in interior design.

How important is lighting in interior design?
Lighting is as important as every other element of the design. Good lighting changes and transforms a space. We use light and shade to make a room feel comfortable but also dramatic and atmospheric. Let’s say we want to highlight an artwork on a wall, we need a downlight to hit the artwork but in combination with a darker area around – this then draws our eye to the painting.

Our skill is artfully combining downlights, uplights, wall lights, floor lights, hidden lights, feature lights, integrated architectural lighting, pendants and lamps to add vast interest and depth to each room. We apply different strategies for different solutions. We may illuminate special features such as an occasional table with flowers using Polespring downlight with a narrow beam, but we combine it with more general highlighting options. Lighting a beautiful curtain fabric will be done in a different way to creating targeted bright areas for tasks such as cooking, reading, or working at a desk.What impact does artificial light have in interior design?
Artificial light creates visual stimulation – we’re always drawn to the brightest point in a room, so we use artificial light to accentuate specific features in the space. In a kitchen, these might be flowers on a kitchen island or dining table which we’ll highlight. We will also bring focus to the room’s edges to broaden the perspective. We may add subtle light to vertical surfaces such as cupboards using perimeter lights, which will create reflected light off those surfaces.

Getting the functional task lighting right, to prepare a meal, make a drink, or simply see what’s inside the cupboards, is vital, too. Diffuse light is used for general warmth. A well-designed varied artificial lighting scheme will add brightness, moments of drama, layers and depth.

What is decorative lighting in interior design?
Decorative lighting – such as a dramatic pendant, interesting wall light or feature lamp – does more than add attractive objects to a room. Our eye may be drawn to a large and pleasing pendant over a table, but the work of a couple of downlights either side will really add to the quality of the light.

Decorative lighting is important but a good lighting designer will combine it with architectural lighting for the best results. For a soft late-afternoon cosiness, you may just turn on the decorative lighting to watch TV, or read your book under a pretty lamp, or enjoy an aperitif. At other times, you will need a fuller combination of lights.
