Interior Lighting Design - Miramar Beach, Florida

Light intensity, light color, and light placement are important in interior design because lights can "make or break" the look and feel of a room. Below are some types of lighting which can be incorporated into your design.

Ambient lighting is the light that fills the majority of a room. Its purpose is to give you light so you can see and move around safely. Ambient lighting is usually from wall-mounted fixtures, track lighting, or recessed lighting.

Accent lighting is used to highlight certain features of a room such as artwork. Accent lights are often dimmable so you can adjust the intensity of the light to achieve the correct mood. Picture lights, wall-mounted-fixtures, and track lighting are great for producing accent lighting.

Task lighting is placed in a location so as to assist in completing tasks. This could be a desk lamp for paperwork, or a pendant light hanging over a workspace.

People spend a lot of time choosing paint colors, furniture, and window treatments but they forget that lighting is a very important factor in how a room displays itself. Too much light will be glaring and uncomfortable. Not enough lighting will make it difficult to appreciate the room's decor. In addition to allowing you to see better, light can also affect you emotionally. The correct type of lighting can inspire, motivate and enliven a person's mood.

Here at Milburn Group Interior Design, we believe that every room should have more than one kind of lighting to create interest and visual appeal. Natural sunlight coming through windows and skylights should always be embraced as a part of the design. A central light source may provide ambient light while other light-sources will highlight smaller spaces along the perimeter of the room. The flow from shadow to light gives the room texture and depth. Please contact us for more details on interior lighting design in Miramar Beach, Florida: (850) 353-3005.
