Interior Design Rules You Should Break
"Every Room Needs an Overhead Light"
While it’s hard to quibble with a beautiful chandelier—especially one on a dimmer—there is no law that says a room must have an overhead light. For better or worse, overhead lights can serve as a focal point in a room, but they can also cast unflattering shadows on human faces, strain the eye, and create a nervously over-lit feeling in a room. Layering multiple ambient light sources throughout a space means that you set the mood.
