11 Indirect Lighting Ideas to Brighten Up Your Interiors

Last updated on December 16th, 2021

Lighting is one of the key elements that accentuate the beauty of our interiors, make them appear more spacious and also help bring certain architectural or design elements into focus. But light doesn’t always have to fall directly on an object to bring it into focus. In fact, indirect lighting doesn’t just highlight a space or an object, but also enhances their textural aspects, which would otherwise go unnoticed.

Take a look at these amazingly beautiful indirect lighting ideas that completely transform the interiors that they’ve been used in!
