In the last few years, lamps and lighting in general have become incredibly popular. While interior designers and other interior experts have always known about the power of lighting, recently, most people have discovered how the ambiance of a room can be changed with the right (or wrong) lighting. Layered lighting schemes are where it’s at and the 5-7 lighting rule is the expert-approved tool to help you achieve it in your home.
Layered lighting is not only the biggest lighting trend of the moment, it’s also a timeless lighting idea for bedrooms, living rooms and other rooms, creating a cosy and inviting space. ‘One of the most common lighting mistakes is relying on a single central fitting to illuminate an entire room,’ explains Jo Plant, chief creative officer at Pooky. ‘Layered lighting creates a much warmer, more inviting environment and allows you to adapt the mood of a space throughout the day. At Pooky, we’re strong advocates of layered lighting and would recommend this approach to anyone looking to create a comfortable, well-designed home.’
