Taking great consideration of the aura that the room intends to give off provides the very base of what an interior designer needs to know to begin adding lighting as for example, an office space where a strong bright light is needed compared to a living room or bedroom that needs a lighter, warm light to set the mood.

There are many types of lighting, some are more intense than others. This is especially true in rooms designed for reading, studying or work, etc like an office. An office may have numerous different lights, including peripheral lighting that runs in parallel with the room’s task because office and computer rooms need ambient lighting in addition to a special lamp for reading.
You can use lighting to make a statement, the light fixture can become the whole feature to the room but not being too overwhelming depending on the space you have and the style.

Nowadays it is quite a trend to add natural elements to the walls and ceilings incorporating a beautiful stone featured wall lamp or pearl-like feature. A popular design lately is hanging pearl-like shells from the ceiling which combines a beach yet luxury feel. Adding these touches of Earth can give off a calming aura and gives a room more depth.
