He cites sources from Allied Chemicals and his Crambrook-era training, urges theaters and museums as mood benchmarks, and promotes daylight mirrors and candlelit gatherings to create tranquil, democratic interior spaces.

Lighting design ideas from designer Larsen
The article discusses outdoor lighting for pool areas and textiles with phosphorescent glow. Larsen advocates ambient lighting to set mood, minimal contrast, and ceiling lights as aging fixtures. He warns against overbright rooms that feel museum like and notes paint can aid surface lighting if affordable.
