An overly bright space as well as a space that’s dim is not inviting. Lighting fixtures should be added gradually.

Lighting fixtures create shadows in addition to illumination. Shadows are also important to the ambience of the room as they create movement and add drama to the space.

8. Eco-Friendliness
Lighting fixtures with dimmers, that are made from recycled materials and have a degree of consciousness have a greater intrinsic value.
9. Design
One great looking lighting fixture is always more attractive than a number of mediocre ones. Lighting should be treated as a decorative source with ambient enhancing qualities.
10. Light Bulb
Light bulb is the source of light while the lighting fixture is its “packaging.” It should have sensorial warm that is both seen and felt.
