functionality or to make a space look brighter – such as a study room or under
kitchen cupboards. these lights can be very intersting and can add to the décor

light fixtures.

a different dimension to your interiors. A statement ceiling light along with
lamps and general light fixtures allow you to adjust the amount and brightness
of light suiting your mood and need.

dimmer enabled chandelier with a couple of lamps can induce a calming
atmosphere as oppsed to having the main lights on or no lights at all.
Similarly, under
cupboard lights, LED Lighting, downlight etc.
in the kitchen can be all switched on together for full effect or
seperately as required.

tone of the lights similar for one room is essential to avoid odd lighting
effects. Except for kitchen, where both cool and warm hues work.
