Lighting first not last, that is one statement that has stayed
with me after I finished studying Interior Design. Lighting is often an after thought when
planning a room, yet it should be carefully planned at the early stages and
should not be considered as an accessory that can be introduced at the end. Light more than any other element of the
interior generates mood and atmosphere, its flexibility can evoke a particular
mood, inviting concentration or relaxation, or a feeling of coolness or warmth.
An excellent example of how lighting can enhance a space can
been seen within the Jigsaw clothing store on the King’s Road, I went in there
to do some shopping but ended up transfixed by the layers of lighting that had
been created within the space. The beautiful
coloured lights and chandelier that is hung in the entrance area were created
by Anthony Stern Glass.
