Inspiring Solutions for Every Room

The book is divided into 3 main parts, in order for the reader to fully absorb the concept of lighting in the home, the latest spectrum of lighting schemes and the sheer variety of effects that can be achieved and at the same time, fulfilling a balance of lighting needs in the home.
‘What Lighting Can Do in Your Home’ – shows the effects of lighting and what it creates, demonstrating the key principles of lighting design. Topics are illustrated with ‘feature spreads’ and checklists to show how a specific room scheme has been conceived. ‘Light as a Decorative Tool’ – shows specific lighting effects, e.g. concealed lighting for display in a dining room, backlighting a stairwell in the hallway etc. Specific lighting solutions are highlighted and explained throughout. ‘Lighting at Work: Room by Room’ – this section demonstrates the key considerations when planning your lighting; how to link and divide spaces, enhance a small space with lighting, provide focal pints etc. It uses real locations to show examples of the techniques room by room.

Nice one.Lightning design such an important aspect of interior design, whether it is for home or office. And surprisingly not many designers give this aspect the attention it deserves. This book will definitely help anyone getting started or give the more experienced designers some new ideas.
