You know one of the secrets to my most successful interior transformations is that My lighting levels are layered- by that I mean I have more than one source of light in each space and each light source is providing illumination for a different task. Did you spot the 3 layers of light for the powder room on the right? 
General lighting - lighting required to move about the space (semi flush pendent)
Task lighting - provides light for dining, reading or prep work (wall sconces) Accent lighting - used to highlight and draw attention (under cabinet lights)
Each of the images pictured showcase planned lighting schemes- so clients can adapt their Illumination to go well with the mood for the evening.
I hope I’ve illustrated the various ways lighting can affect space. In my design bag of tricks I use it as a: source for seeing, vibe creation and for shape shifting.
Have you done something different with your lighting or are you still trying to figure out how to manipulate your interior with light? I'd be happy to help you maximize the visual possibilities of lighting. Post a comment and I'll respond in real time.
