Most homes are over-lit and under-considered. A grid of recessed downlights on the ceiling is not a lighting plan — it is a default.
We start every project by drawing the lighting plan in parallel with the layout. Where do you want shadow? Where do you want focus? Where should a single bulb do the work of ten?
A good room, lit well, is darker than you expect.
