A reminder that lighting should be a considered aspect of your build, not an afterthought.
You don’t need to be stuck with downlights in a grid throughout your home to achieve good lighting. And in fact, rows of downlights placed in a grid throughout your home is not good lighting.
A well-considered lighting plan adds warmth, depth, and atmosphere to a space. It highlights details and changes the way a home feels, day to night.
If you do choose to use downlights, consider the fittings. Choose low glare, avoid picking the cheapest option, and remember that you often need less than you think.
The best spaces are the ones that feel good to be in, and lighting can make or break a space.
