[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/sbidmumbai/institutional-interior-design/gallery) Lighting is rarely just about fixtures. It’s about creating a mood, guiding your eye, and adding depth. I use organic textures and strategic light to make spaces feel alive. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A perfect example of how different lighting elements work together. Here, a modern overhead fixture provides general light, while a backlit arched niche and focused spotlights create depth and highlight the textures of the wall and decor, making the seating area feel sophisticated.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ebd95029-006b-4b62-aefb-1f439fe44e72) - [Video: This video shows the hands-on process of creating a custom, organic textured wall. We integrated backlighting into the plasterwork itself to create a dramatic, glowing effect. This technique turns a simple wall into a unique art installation.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ae79654c-d855-4299-88af-44fea4768f47) ## About The Art of Ambiance: Lighting & Textures It’s not just about installing a bulb; it’s about treating your walls like a canvas. I often layer organic, hand-crafted textures with hidden backlighting, so the space shifts its personality as the sun goes down. When you look at the work I did for the Chembur home, you see that the light isn't sitting on top of the wall—it’s interacting with the surface to create shadows and warmth that you simply can't get from a standard ceiling light. When I talk about 'The Art of Ambiance,' I’m talking about the difference between a house that looks like a showroom and a home that feels like a story. My process starts with understanding the scale and the light in your specific room, not just picking a catalogue fixture. ### Why Texture and Light Matter Most people ignore walls until they paint them. I prefer to treat them as the main character. Using organic plasterwork or textured finishes adds tactile depth, but those textures are dead weight without the right ambient lighting. I design these elements together. ### My Technical Approach - **Intelligent Layering:** I don't rely on one bright source. I use a mix of concealed COB lights for focus, warm cove lighting for softness, and bespoke fixtures for the 'wow' factor. - **Shadow Play:** In my projects, I love designing arched niches or custom wall panels that house LED strips. The goal is to make the light source invisible while letting the glow wash over the texture. - **Custom Execution:** Whether it’s a luxury penthouse or a cozy studio, I’m on-site ensuring the plasterwork creates the right kind of shadows. If you have a wall that feels boring or a corner that needs more personality, let's stop playing it safe with standard solutions. Let's create something that actually makes you feel something every time you walk into the room. ## About Sonal Bhatia I’m Sonal, and for me, designing is pure therapy. I’m the person who gets obsessed with where a spotlight hits or how a wall feels to the touch, because those tiny details are exactly what make a house feel like home.
