6 Projects That Show How Lighting Can Accentuate And Transform A Space
You know how they say that when it comes to photography, good lighting is key?
The same goes for interior design – good lighting can accentuate a room, hide its flaws, and give it that “wow” factor that it might otherwise be missing. Check out these projects that show how important lighting is!

Pasir Ris 553C ($60,000) by Mr Designer Studio
How do you instantly make your entrance way cooler than everyone else’s? By adding a lighted mirror, of course!
We love a design feature that scores on both functionality and aesthetics – and this one does just that. Functionality-wise, the extra lighting will come in handy when you’re doing last minute OOTD checks before you leave the house. Aesthetics-wise, the mirror also serves to beautify your entrance way.

HDB BTO at Northshore Drive ($50,000) by De Style Interior Pte Ltd
Do you prefer dramatic, focused lights or diffused, softer lighting?
In this case, we think the dramatic lights work – they bring out the warm tones of the living room beautifully, and add visual interest to the space.

We love the sleekness of this nook, and how this is further emphasized by the LED strip running parallel on the carpentry. Can you imagine how gorgeous this area will look at nighttime, with the LED light framing the window?
