I enjoy a properly lit space that includes ambient, task, accent and decorative lighting. The color and brightness of lighting can change the environment and mood drastically. With decorative lighting it’s like having a mini art installation on your wall or table. Below are some examples of accent and decorative lighting I’ve designed and built. I’m excited to pursue more lighting ideas in my sketchbook.
