Used by lighting experts to create warm, inviting spaces, layered lighting is the perfect way to transform your home in 2025.
“Layered lighting creates depth and dimension. When you combine different light sources, you can highlight different areas of a room, creating a more visually interesting and dynamic space. This depth helps break up flat, uniform lighting that can feel cold or sterile.”
“Different lighting layers can also serve functional purposes. Task lighting makes it easier to see and perform specific activities like reading or cooking, while ambient lighting creates a general sense of warmth and comfort. Without layering, a room might feel either too bright or too dim for various activities.”
Decorative lights are a great way to anchor dining tables, kitchen benches, or lounge suites, creating a soft ambient effect.
“Sensors can be used strategically to create ease of movement,” Ardy says. “Place sensors to assist nighttime navigation without the need to find a switch — perfect for guiding paths to the kitchen, bathrooms, or front door, for example.”
