“…good lighting is like good makeup. It can highlight your best features and maybe even cleverly disguise a few flaws! 😉 Just like a photographer uses light to capture a stunning portrait, we can use lighting to create a home that feels warm, welcoming, and totally us.

Now, you might be thinking, "I'm no photographer!" But don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds. It all starts with understanding the three basic types of lighting: task, ambient, and accent - collectively known as layered lighting. Good lighting is about lighting in layers, lighting in planes: low, middle, and high. Let’s talk about how these types fit into each category.”

Okay, let's be honest. You've poured your heart and soul into creating a beautiful home. You've picked out the perfect furniture, curated a stunning collection of art, and maybe even mastered the art of the perfectly placed throw pillow. But even with all of that effort, does something still feel... off? You're not alone. Here's a secret the design pros know: your lighting could be secretly sabotaging all your hard work.
