How important is lighting in interior design?

Illumination has become a key aspect of interior design projects as an accurate light design can bring considerable benefits both in terms of aesthetics and well-being.

Light is itself a constructive element of space, with the characteristic of being able to both modify and exalt its quality. Its ability to blend and merge with rigid, dense, opaque materials, dematerializing its consistency and enhancing its texture and personality, suggests solutions that offer a new way of conceiving the space. More and more often, in fact, interior design projects are being implemented with the integration of lighting into the architecture; architecture that contains, in special cuts, the light source, offering highly scenic effects. Think, for example, of the Apps that allow you to choose different effects and light games such as the simulation of candle light or sunrise. The ever closer collaboration between lighting companies and designers has also led to the creation of objects that can at the same time complete the light design of a space and become furniture complements themselves.
Moreover, in our energy-conscious society, an accurate lighting design along with the use of cutting-edge light sources – just think of the LED lights – can bring benefits both in terms of economic saving and environment protection.

Today, more than ever, the light design is not only fundamental to an interior design project, but it is also the key element that decides its originality as well as the perception of comfort.
