Light as a key element in interior design

Light plays a decisive role in our homes. Lighting is key and interior designers know this. In today's blog we tell you everything you need to consider about lighting in your interior design project.

At first glance it may seem an unimportant element, but after reading this article, you will realise how much such a basic but necessary element can bring to our home.

Here are the keys to making the most of light as a key element in your interior design project.

Why it is so important to have good light in your home

Good lighting can help us to develop or feel what we want in each room. Therefore, we can say that light is the central axis of all good decoration. To correctly illuminate a space it is important to start from a general base and add points of light.

When we talk about lighting, we must not neglect its opposite, shadows. We must bear in mind that every light has its shadow and we must ensure that it is cast in the right place, or if we are looking for just the opposite, avoid it. The inclination of the lighting or the strength of the light beam will influence this, as will the colour of the walls.

Natural materials bring warmth to the space. They give us a pleasant sensation in which we can relax and enjoy some quiet moments in our home.

Multi-purpose spaces in interior design

Another trend that is gaining ground in the world of interior design is the versatility of spaces. That is to say, if you have to work in a bedroom or if you carry out activities such as sport, we are going to try to make the most of it. In this way, it is possible to multiply the functions within the home and make the spaces more versatile. In this sense, we are committed to flexibility, with spaces that are able to accommodate multiple activities and adapt to different situations. However, without ceasing to facilitate day-to-day life in the home and providing elements of surprise.

Lights and shadows should be combined to favour the atmosphere that is intended to be created in each space. This combination will determine whether a room gives off a warmer atmosphere that is conducive to being comfortable and relaxed. Or just the opposite, to create a cold and unwelcoming space.

For us, from our interior design studio in Jávea, we consider natural light as an important element in every project. Lighting helps us to feel comfortable in the rooms, as well as to promote a better transpiration and has a very high decorative value.

In fact, we always recommend opting for open spaces or carrying out renovations that allow us to have them. In this sense, the orientation of the home plays an essential role. Here are some of the benefits of having a well-lit house with natural light.

REDUCES STRESS

As a rule, we are not aware of the power of lighting in our daily lives. Natural sunlight regulates many vital functions in our bodies and has a direct impact on our mood.

In fact, it has been proven that sadness and depression occur more in places with less light.

PRODUCES A FEELING OF SPACIOUSNESS

Good light helps to create large spaces, and it can soften or enhance decorative effects to make the environment more pleasant.

A neutral, pastel tone will make your home brighter. On the contrary, dark colours will dwarf spaces.

It is not necessary to have more space to make the house look bigger. The key is to have a well-lit home, to enjoy spacious rooms in which every corner is usable.

GIVE DEPTH TO YOUR HOME

Light can also give depth to the rooms in your home. That is why the distribution of objects, furniture and artificial light sources is important.

ne tip that will give you more depth is to light your home differently depending on the space you are in. We recommend using white light in the bathroom and kitchen and warm light in the rest of the rooms.

IS THE BEST ALLY FOR A GOOD INTERIOR DECORATION.

The ambience of a space can change it completely. Any modification in lighting can create a different overall appearance of any space. It can also provide the opportunity to achieve different decorative effects in a room.

At Tarraula we consider light to be a key element in every project. We could consider it as the soul of architecture, as it allows us to appreciate the space that surrounds us and better relate to it.

An absolute pleasure to work with – highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit more than a year ago, we bought a house in Spain dating back to 1998 and decided to completely renovate it. We were looking for an interior designer who could understand our ideas, develop a concept for the renovation and interior, and also coordinate the entire project, including the selection and purchase of furniture. After two disappointing experiences with other interior designers, a colleague recommended Cristina from Tarraula in Jávea. And what a lucky recommendation that turned out to be! From our very first meeting, we immediately felt that Cristina understood us and what we were looking for. She listened carefully to our ideas, made fantastic suggestions and had a wonderful sense of how to create the atmosphere and style we had in mind. We loved her ideas for both the renovation and the furniture, and very quickly felt confident enough to entrust her with the entire project. Four months later, we returned to Spain and were absolutely blown away. Wow – what a transformation! Our house had been completely renovated and turned into a beautiful, warm and stylish Spanish home. The furniture was carefully selected, the workmanship was excellent, and every detail came together perfectly. Cristina and her colleague did a fantastic job coordinating and supervising the entire renovation. The craftsmen were excellent, everything was handled professionally, and the quality of the work was truly outstanding. But what matters most to us is how we feel about the result: we absolutely love our home! It now has exactly the style and atmosphere we had hoped for – and honestly, we cannot imagine having done it any better. Looking back, we can say with complete confidence that the investment was absolutely worth it. We are incredibly happy that we found Cristina and would wholeheartedly recommend her and the entire Tarraula team to anyone looking for creativity, professionalism, quality and someone who genuinely cares about creating a home that reflects the people who live in it. Thank you so much, Cristina, for turning our house into the home we dreamed of! ❤️
