Lighting Design

Let There Be Light

An absolutely essential part of the interior design process at Rodrigues Interiors is lighting design. Often overlooked in many homes, clients are frequently amazed by the power of well considered interior lighting once they experience it. Lighting is like the conductor of an orchestra, setting the stage for your interiors to sing. It is the art and science of using light strategically to enhance the atmosphere, functionality and aesthetics of a space. Imagine your living room as the stage and the lighting as the spotlight that highlights the star performers, your furniture, art and décor.

Carefully planned living room lighting ideas, feature lights for living room, wall lights and floor lamps can transform the mood from relaxed and cosy to bright and sociable at the flick of a switch. In the kitchen, good kitchen lighting combines task lighting for preparation areas with softer, more ambient light for eating and entertaining, while dining room lighting can create intimacy around the table with pendants and dimmable circuits.

Lighting can be focused and dramatic, soft and sensual or lively and energetic, but it must always be functional enough to support the tasks you perform there, from reading and working to cooking and unwinding.

Thoughtful lighting ideas for home can also dramatically alter the perception of space, making a room feel larger and airier or creating smaller, intimate pockets of light for interest and playfulness.

We look at ceiling lighting, wall lights, table and floor lamps, nature inspired lighting and control systems as part of one overall plan, so each space is flexible throughout the day. With a considered lighting design scheme, your interiors do not just look better, they feel better to live in.
