A space's overall ambiance is greatly influenced by its lighting. Lighting should be considered from the outset of space design. At home, general lighting is crucial because it elevates the atmosphere and prevents dark, ugly areas from being dark and depressing. Inadequate illumination can make a space appear small and cause family members and friends to avoid certain places.

One of the key players in the Philippine lighting industry is Palayan Lamps, a homegrown brand of decorative lighting that continues to illuminate not just residential houses but also commercial ones.

Some of its work adorned big infrastructure include the capiz pendant light at Chi, The Spa at Edsa Shangri-La; the glass tree light at Manila Diamond Hotel’s Yurakuen Restaurant; the wrought iron rose chandeliers at Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel in Montecito, Nuvali City; and the capiz-and-crystal chandeliers at the main lobby of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Here, Property Living curates a list of lighting products from Palayan Lamps that you should check out to light your homes.
