indirect lighting
Light off walls
Indirect lighting is illumination that bounces off surfaces—walls, ceilings, or reflectors—rather than shining directly on what's being lit.
The effect is softer and more diffuse, reducing harsh shadows and glare.
The room's indirect lighting created a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
Common in architectural and interior design for ambient effect.
