THE "ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL" SERIES 3: LIGHT UP!!

 

THE "ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL 3: 

LIGHT UP!!!

Happy weekend folks, trust this post meets you well.

Ramadan Kareem to my Muslim audience across the globe, may the blessings of God abide with you 🙏

If you have been following the series for the month, then you will be familiar with these formulas 


FLOOR + WALL x CEILING= SPACE


COOKER - √SINK ÷ COOLING⁴= THE KITCHEN TRIANGLE 


I have not become a math teacher 😄, these are just formulas I devised in order to unveil equations behind what makes components within your spaces work effectively, as warranted by The "All Things Being Equal" series.

I started out with the SPACE in itself, then moved to the KITCHEN and now I thought to address LIGHTING, as a key component that all spaces cannot do without.

The subject of lighting is quite technical and as such cannot be completely addressed in a single post, however I hope to make this easy for you by adopting a simple yet practical approach to effectively lighting up your space.

Now let's talk about types of light 👇🏼


#1: 

AMBIENT LIGHTING 


Also known as General Lighting.

This is the light that sets the overall tone and mood of a space, providing a soft, uniform illumination that gets rid of every shadow within your space. 

Usually to achieve this, lights are positioned at equal distance from the ceiling into your space.

While this type of lighting is most suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining in a living area, they are non-negotiable for all public and commercial spaces.


#2: 

ACCENT

LIGHTING

The primary role of accent lighting is to highlight and emphasize objects, and this is achieved by positioning light fittings directly around the object in question.

Accent lighting is most ideal for features such as artwork, display shelf, fireplace and hallways just to mention a few.

You can call her the drama queen 😀


#3: 

TASK

LIGHTING

This is the light you reach out to when it's time to roll up your sleeves and get to work as it provides concentrated light in a particular area to aid in activities such as reading, cooking, or working.

As a rule of thumb, task lighting should be brighter than ambient lighting and focused on the project or task at hand.

So if there will be a formula for lights it will be 

πAMBIENT x {ACCENT} x ¢TASK= LIGHT UP


And if you are wondering, who needs a separate light for tasks after installing a general light, then I will take up the task to help you get rid of a general belief 😉, but you would have to reach out to me via this link 👇🏼

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings 👇 #1:  FRENCH ÉTAGÈRE 🗣️/ etaʒɛr / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME" SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean 👇   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago 💭🤔 Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) 🙈 Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
