NI: What can lighting design do for an inte-

rior space?

Orsman: Lighting is the first component that

differentiates residential, hospitality, and com-

mercial spaces. Once we identify our space with

particular fixtures and brightness, we then work

to minutely understand the area we are illuminat-

ing: Is it task-driven, such as a kitchen or gallery?

Is it leisure-driven, such as a living or music room?

Or, is it intimate, such as a bedroom or spa? This

determines whether we use high hats, dome

lighting, under-cabinet lighting, recessed, or any of

the many other options we have on hand. When

we add dimmers, we then have an exponentially

higher [degree] of control. Bright, purposeful

kitchens can transition to calming cocktail spaces,

and home theaters can go from casual television

watching to multidimensional viewing areas.

Shine brightly with these designer tips for

establishing radiant indoor and outdoor spaces
