Approaches to Integrating Light with Interior Materials
Light serves a purpose far beyond mere illumination. It possesses the power to decorate, accentuate, and modulate emotions. The versatility of light poses a challenge: How do we connect it with interior materials to create a harmonious whole that conveys the desired emotion to the homeowner?
Architects often employ louvers or ventilation blocks to layer and regulate light. Subsequently, they must curate the surrounding space so the emotional impact of the lighting achieves the intended effect. When light interacts with materials such as wood or velvet, it softens and warms, creating a sense of comfort and ease. Conversely, materials like high-gloss tiles render light more radiant and luxurious. Many interior designers further upgrade their lighting design using translucent stone. With its impressive surface, translucent stone transforms light into a statement piece that expresses personality.
