Home Space

Lighting Takes Precedence

Be it a decorative lamp or natural light filtering in from a window, lighting in our home plays a very important role in the overall look and feel of the space. HEALTH meets with Interior Designer/MyFkra Founder and Lighting Specialist Joud Outry who explains more.

Focal Point

“As a lighting specialist, the first thing that attracts me is the lighting atmosphere of each space/room. With light, you can move forward and without light you can’t take a step. Light in this century became one of the main elements and the fourth dimension which infuses harmony and gives balance for any kind of design—be it classic, modern contemporary, or even vintage.”

Impact

“Light means the sun and moon; imagine the sky without them, how about your day without the sunshine or the night without the brightness of the moon? It’s the same for the light; you can’t enter any place without light nor truly be attracted to any space without light as it is what gives the right impression of each space you are in. Lighting can be used for many purposes in many ways and helps in infusing elegance and brightness to a home.”

Tips to Enhance Lighting

“Lighting can make your house appear bigger, fresher, and decidedly more chic, as well as add value. Try and think outside the box with eye catching fixtures / solutions that illuminate the space and at the same time add design to it, using colors, hidden light, huge laminated fixtures, or a creative sculpture that includes light. Other ways include the addition of mirrors to make the most of the light in a room. Also, replace the table and floor light with recessed light strips.”
