Different lighting for different purposes
“I know of nothing that contributes so much to a certain mood as the right lighting. A harsh, cold ceiling light dulls the mood, makes the eyes smart, and takes away much of the picturesque atmosphere of home life. Warm lighting at a height that is sufficient to provide a concentrated light on the table paraphernalia – the flowers, the fruit or the appetising sandwich table – is something you should get, if you haven’t already done so.”
– Estrid Ericson
Lighting is essential to give your interior design the right feeling. But how do you get it right? A few points stemming from Svenskt Tenn’s interior design philosophy are particularly important to consider. The first is that the lighting should be customised to your specific needs. Directed light such as a reading lamp provides a concentrated source of light, while diffused light creates a warm atmosphere in the room. To get the right feeling, you need to balance and mix different types of lights. Secondly, the lighting should be flexible; adjustable and easy to move. Then you can move it around the room according to your wishes, needs and the season.
