Thoughtfully lighting your home makes a good design scheme great. Here's what the experts have to say about the 'lampscaping' technique
Lampscaping is a useful way of getting across the idea that you should use multiple light sources in a room space, much as you would use a number of small lights in a landscape to brighten a yard or pathway. It's a little misleading, however, in that you shouldn't rely just on lamps alone. Instead, think of lighting a room from multiple sources and types set all around a room, so table and floor lamps, accents lamps on shelves, wall sconces and ceiling lights.
