1. Get the right amount of light in every space

Too little light can strain the eyes, and too much light can cause glare. There’s a science (and some art) to getting this right. 

2. Make each space practical and pleasing to be in

Using the right types of lighting in each area is critical. Depending on the room, the right amount and balance of ambient, task, and accent lighting can create a well-illuminated space. 

3. Enable comfort for every activity in the space

Comfort is crafted in lighting with a balance of practical and aesthetic lighting. Whether it’s cooking in the kitchen, reading on the sofa in the family room, or working in a home office, a balanced lighting plan makes each activity naturally comfortable.

4. Have lighting that establishes the right atmosphere

Each activity needs different lighting, even in the same room. A bright kitchen might turn into a place for a cozy dinner. A family room can go from hosting lively conversation with soft lighting to hosting a dimly lit movie night. You need the proper lighting and control to create these different environments. 

5. Have lighting that is uniform

Nothing is worse than a part of a space that is too bright or too dark. Good lighting design achieves uniformity in illumination by selecting the correct fixtures, lighting intensity, color temperature, and control systems. 

6. Have lighting that complements the interior architecture and design

A bad lighting design might minimize the beauty of your interiors, casting shadows, hiding the beauty of a ceiling,  or not letting the colors and textures of your materials and finishes be fully appreciated. Good lighting design highlights and complements the architecture and interior design. 

7. Make it easy to set the scene for any activity 

Good lighting design will make it easy to perfectly illuminate any room with little fuss or effort. With the right lighting systems and control, little work is needed to have the perfect light for any activity at any time.
