Layered Lighting + Natural Materials
Lighting works best when it works together. Layering different kinds of lights within a space doesn't just prepare you for the varied amounts of light needed at different times of day; when done well, layered lighting prepares a room for any mood or activity.
What are the layers of light?
- Ambient Light: The foundational first layer that broadly illuminates a room, whether with a bold chandelier or subtle flush mount
- Task Light: Focused illumination on frequent tasks such as reading and personal grooming
- Accent Light: A spotlight on artistic or architectural features, such as paintings or brickwork
For a deeper dive into how these layers work together to add value to your home, check out our handy Layers of Lighting Guide.
Introduce Natural Materials
As you build your lighting plan, consider including natural materials to add texture, warmth, and beauty to your space. Natural materials like wood, shell, fiber, and stone also help us embrace our connection to the natural world outdoors, all while enjoying the comforts of the indoors.
