Well-designed lighting can accomplish almost any color scheme goal. With a little creativity and a knowledgeable lighting designer, you’re on your way to understanding the power of lighting and how to use it. Here are some tips:

• Make a room look larger: Put up lights in the corners. You can also throw lights on the ceiling to brighten it. Both give the illusion of space.

 

• Add texture to a “flat” room: Scatter-pattern gobos are fantastic. Gobos (template slotted inside or placed in front of a lighting source) come in endless designs and can be customized. Gobos are inexpensive, reusable and great attention-getters.

 

• Make a sterile or blank room feel warmer: Use a warm color gel over up lights. Amber is a great starting point. It’s rich and warm without being too dark.

 

• Personalize a room to your theme or brand: Using LEDs or gels to match the colors of your theme or logo add instant pizazz with very little effort.

 

• Highlight centerpieces, auction items or other significant objects: Use pin spots. These tiny lights are focused on a single object. Their precise beam brings attention to the item without making the entire area itself overly bright.

 

• Lighting an unusual or out-of-the way spot: Use wireless LEDs. They are portable and can be programmed to change color throughout the night.
