There is a reason why you look much better in a store trial room compared to when you walk out of the store and look naturally in your phone’s front camera or some random mirror. Indoor to outdoor lighting is a key factor while designing a place. It sets the mood, ambiance, and rhythm of your home. Outdoor lighting is a great way to create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
