Lighting tips: how it affects interior mood and space perception.
The Nuances of Lighting
It's no secret that the play of light and shadow is important for creating a beautiful interior, landscape design, or garden layout — that is, selecting the optimal lighting system.
Phytodesign, interior design and landscape design currently share many common aspects and rules concerning lighting principles. If you have potted plants in your interior, it is very important to create the necessary lighting precisely.
The basis for choosing and installing a suitable lighting system in your apartment, garden, office, or country house is, first and foremost, safety, then convenience and aesthetics. Lighting for a room or garden where the primary rules of floristry have already been observed should not be too intense for the human eye, while still providing what plants need to live. To ensure that the floral services you pay for in offices or apartments are not wasted, choose fixtures with frosted glass and colored filters. These fixtures will protect your eyes from excessive brightness and provide enough light for your small garden to grow without problems.
For lighting an office or garden we recommend using halogen lamps. Besides helping to significantly reduce electricity costs, the light from halogen lamps is similar to daylight and has a color temperature close to that of sunlight.
Phytodesign of offices and interiors itself implies choosing an ideal lighting system for a specific floristry concept when developing phytodesign for an office or country house according to a client-approved project. It is very important not to make adjustments to this project yourself when setting up the lighting system and to strictly follow all the rules set out in the project. After all, the life of the plants and the overall result of the implemented phytodesign depend on it.
By combining top lighting with lower illumination, wall-mounted pendants, placing accents on desired objects with light, using cross-lighting, creating a "moonlight" effect, and casting shadows on ceilings and walls, you can enhance the impact of plant design in a home's interior or in a landscape garden.
Mirror reflections or spotlighting in a garden or in a room where the interior is combined with a large number of plants chosen by florists will help emphasize the heart of the composition and draw the viewer's attention to the most striking elements.
