The Lighting Stack That Flatters Every Space

Ambient: ceiling or wash lighting to set the base level

Task: lamps over reading spots, under-cabinet in kitchens

Accent: picture lights, wall washers, LED strips for depth

Dim everything—mood is a slider, not a switch

Why Great Rooms Feel “Right”

Scale & Proportion

Furniture height should talk to ceiling height - taller ceilings = taller backs/curtains
Rug rules? At least front legs on, dining chairs fully on
Coffee table math: ⅔ the sofa length, ~16–18" reach

Negative space is a design choice—leave breathing room around key pieces

The 80/20 Rule of a “Perfect Room”

80% function - traffic flow, storage, comfortable seating, durable finishes
20% magic - art, heirlooms, plants, a standout texture
Check scale - sofa length vs. room width, rug under front legs, art at eye level

Anchor with one focal point (fireplace, view, statement piece) and let everything else support it.
