Vertical Lighting – Why Is It Worth Lighting Walls?
When planning interior lighting, we most often think about how to properly illuminate the table, kitchen worktop, desk or floor. As a result, we tend to direct most of the light downwards. Meanwhile, walls occupy a much larger area within our field of vision. How well they are illuminated largely determines whether a room feels spacious and cosy after dark.
If the centre of the room is brightly lit while its edges remain in shadow, even a sufficient amount of light does not always create a comfortable effect. The interior may look flat, have dark corners and appear smaller than it actually is.
