Appealing Lightingo Recent surveys have been conducted on

how lighting in retail stores affects how consumers feel in that environment and what their eyes were drawn to

o Whilst the study focused on consumers purchasing in a retail space, many of the insights can be considered valuable information for good lighting choices in a domestic interior

Lighting in Retail o Many shops are overly bright in a bid to stand out from

their neighbouring competition

o This high intensity lighting is not only dazzling and uncomfortable on the eye, but it also makes it difficult to focus on specific items

o Bright lights can also drain colour from the room and make it seem very flat

o Statistics show that most people prefer moderate general lighting that gives off a warm and welcoming feel to the space, compared to additional lighting to create definition and focus on particular areas

Lighting in your Homeo Interior designers often share the benefits of

multiple light sources, but it is important to get the balance right

o Having too many sources of bright lights in your home can have the same off putting effect as an over lit shop

o With variable light sources in your home you can enhance your interior, making it inviting and allowing the eye to be drawn to specific features in the room

Lighting in your Homeo By adding additional wall lights to your

home, a more appealing and practical lighting effect can be created

o The central light may provide a warm general glow, while wall lights are used to enhance artwork or provide ambient lighting. Meanwhile, pendant or spot lights can provide task lighting in areas where clarity of vision is required

Wall Light Positioningo Research shows that eyes are drawn to areas where

there is contrast between light and dark, such as backlighting shelves in darker areas

o This can give the feeling of more space, as the eye is

drawn to the furthest corners of the room

o Another result that was discovered is that eyes naturally observes things which are at head height

o Carefully positioned lights are effective at drawing attention to objects or features which are positioned higher or lower than our natural gaze

possible to have greater control over the lighting
