am currently pursuing an online bachelor's in interior design and I had reached a creative mind lock. I was literally watching car videos and this video showed up at some point. this video was not only efficiently illustrative, but it has given me the extra push to open my mind again. am finally doing that assignment I had taken 2weeks to do. thank you for the inspiration!!

[@DSigners]

Wohoo! 😍😍😍 LOVE IT!

For years I have been looking for learning about lighting in a home environment. People tend to miss out one lighting all the time and this plays a vital role in setting up the mood. If the lightings are not in place then the whole interior planning goes for a toss. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge/Tips.

[@atulbanga1462]

Being an Interior Designer, I would love to thank Zahira for your deep knowledge videos about Interior. You are a Genius.

[@povilius]

Hey! Thanks for talking about layers, because as interior designer, I noticed that people doesn't understand the concept of interior lighting, which is essencial

[@DSigners]

Hi Fausto, A True story, the same here! People usually invest a lot of money on furniture, textures, they look for specific colors, but they forget about the essential ingredient which is light. It's amazing how the perception of space changes when we use layered lighting. Thank you very much for your comment.

[@ml_haskell3854]

Brava! Your lucid, straightforward presentation makes a complex subject understandable. I used this information to re-arrange and augment the lighting in my home, and it had a big positive effect on the feel of all the living spaces. Next, I applied these principles to design the lighting for my kitchen remodel. Because we had so many constraints on the new kitchen (make it functional, can't move walls, windows, ceiling, etc.), there was really only so much that could be done with the lighting. Even so, it could have gone terribly wrong if I just let the electrician pop a bunch of hockey puck LEDs into my ceiling and then leave! If I EVER hit the lottery and can build a custom home, I will bring the lighting architect into the planning process on day 1. Thank you again!

[@cameliacorinafloca-maxim]

I love this video. Thank you Zahira! I have a background in electrical engineering and took some courses (over 20 year ago :)) in architectural and public lighting.

Zahira! I just discovered your videos this evening and have watched five in a row. They are fantastic, as are you. :) I have always loved to design my spaces but don't have any technical understanding of why I like certain things or how to fix something that doesn't look or feel quite right. I've looked at plenty of decorating/design websites and books but nothing has been exactly what I'm looking for - until I found your videos. Thank you so much for the clear and concise way you explain so many elements of design. After only watching five videos I understand so much more of what I've been doing and why some things just don't/won't work. And on top of that you offer free downloads of helpful guides. Designing is one of my very favorite things to do and you just made it so much better for me. I'm looking forward to checking out your other content! THANK YOU!

[@DSigners]

Hi Zahira,. I'd love to know some general guidelines about how to appropriately light a rectangular hallway (between bedrooms, bathrooms, & laundry). Things like size of lighting fixture(s) and or amount of light needed. Thank you

[@DSigners]

Hi Tanya! No specific tasks are carried out in the hallway, they are circulation areas to connect the different spaces, so you don't need an important amount of light. but take into account the lighting of the surrounding areas to maintain a homogeneous level of luminosity. Regarding the type of light source, it will depend on your style and if the corridor can be seen from various points in the house. You can choose recessed ceiling or mounted lights or small chandeliers, that will depend on your style.

Thanks for the video! Could you recommend the best/easiest way to create ambient lighting in a condo with concrete ceilings, where you're very limited in installing ceiling fixtures? We're thinking about track lights, but from your video I see it's considered more as accent lighting, and I'm worried that they'll beam right in the eyes and won't light up the room evenly. What would be your advice? I'm also considering standing lamps, but they usually aren't too bright and you need multiple for bigger rooms. Would love to get your suggestion!

[@daianneangelica]

Hi! Do you have suggestions for small spaces with limited lighting options especially if the units are rented out and couldn’t do much renovations? What would be the best ambient and task lighting for that scenario? Thanks!

[@holohulolo]

Probably standing lamps or table lamps that sit on top of the side tables. Stand lamps can both be ambient and task light. My understanding from the video is that task lamp just means it needs to be bright enough for the task you're performing. Ap having a standing lamp like ones with adjustable gooseneck or something like that can have 2 function, especially ones with dimmer. You shone them to the wall dimmed, to create ambient lighting or adjust it directly at whate er you're doing for task.

[@DSigners]

Well, this is a very good question, for a professional lighting design, there are different software to calculate it. I usually use Dialux (www.dial.de/en/dialux/) but, if you don't have the possibility of using that kind of software, don't' be stressed. My recommendation is that you evaluate your light bulbs, try them and experiment in the space since each space has a different height and colors that will make the perception different in each case. Always remember to take into account the activities you are going to do there. A very good option is to invest in smart lighting since you can control the quantity of lighting and color temperature of your light sources at any time, personally I no longer use light bulbs if they do not have these conditions because I can control the mood and appearance of my space from my smartphone. In my experience, it's an excellent choice.

Does ambient light require a fake ceiling? Also, in the kitchen, right above the stove, is that LED or other kind of lamp? Thanks for this, you are amazing!

[@subhanamansur6469]

I have the same questions..

[@DSigners]

Hi Rita, Absolutely not. The ambient light can be obtained through floor lamps, table lamps, chandeliers, pendant lamps, ceiling-mounted lights, wall lamps. You can use different lighting sources of this kind to have the quantity of ambient lighting that you want for a specific space or area. For example, you can have a chandelier and floor lamps and table lamps for ambient lighting. About the kitchen LED lightings are always a good option because are more efficient and have a longer lifetime. If you have any other doubts don't hesitate to ask me. Have a beautiful day! xoxo
