Lighting design plays a key role in interior design by transforming spaces and revealing materials. There are different types of lighting including ambient, accent, and task lighting that serve various purposes. Strategically placed lighting can highlight architectural details, artwork, and create mood. Through lighting installations and product designs, spaces can take on new dimensions and meanings beyond their physical form.
