Light Up Your Life
Transforming your interior space can be a daunting task, but if you can harness the power of light itself… it becomes much easier to make light of your interior makeover

Lighting can have a profound impact on the mood and style of a space, making it an essential element to consider when creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. Yet it’s surprising how many Dubai tenants and owners never really take into account the standard – and usually disappointing – light fittings that come with most homes.
What isn’t surprising is that mastering light isn’t as easy as it looks – but with a few simple rules to follow, you can make your space as dramatic, cosy, intimate or relaxing as you want with a flick of a switch.
There are different types of lighting. Ambient lighting is a general light source that illuminates the entire room, providing an overall level of brightness. Task lighting, on the other hand, is a more focused light source that is designed to help you perform specific tasks, such as reading or cooking. Meanwhile, accent lighting is used to highlight a particular area or object, such as a piece of art or architectural feature.

In your living room, for example, a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A central pendant light or chandelier can provide ambient lighting, while a pair of table lamps or floor lamps can provide task lighting for reading or watching television. Accent lighting can be used to highlight artwork or architectural features, such as a fireplace or bookshelf.
In the bedroom, a combination of ambient and task lighting can also create a relaxing and soothing environment. With many Dubai residents renting their accommodation, lighting also offers the opportunity to personalise a home relatively easily and affordably – and the best thing is, when you move, you can take your chandelier or shade with you.
Another effective ways to transform your interior space with lighting is by using dimmers. Dimmers allow you to adjust the brightness of your lights to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply relaxing on the couch, dimmers can help you set the mood and create a comfortable and inviting space.
Another option that is at the cutting edge of lighting technology and design is to use smart lighting systems that can be controlled with your smartphone or voice-activated assistant. These systems allow you to adjust your lighting from anywhere in your home, making it easy to create the perfect ambiance no matter where you are – many of these smart light systems also come with colour options, meaning your living room can transform from a standard space to a dramatic disco in red, blue or green with one click – just add a disco ball or plug-in party lights and the dancing can start. Smart lighting also includes novelties such as stick-on panels or even tiny little strips that you can easily affix along shelves or in cabinets to create a space that feels designed with colour and light.
Tenants and home owners in Dubai are spoiled for choice with the countless array of options - pendants, chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps, wall sconces are sold as standard in almost every furniture store, and the styles are endless, from minimalistic industrial bulbs to majestic crystal chandeliers. Lighting is really one of the most versatile and satisfying ways to put a personal touch to your home – both incredibly cost-effective and immediately impactful.
