Lighting is key to creating the perfect balance, atmosphere and ambience in your home. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend a fortune on redesigning your lighting schemes or purchasing designer light fittings to get your desired effect.
Here are 5 quick lighting tips to help you get it right.
+ Layering your lighting can ensure that you create a warm, welcoming and inviting room design.
+ Designing your room to be as adaptable as possible can easily be achieved by adding dimmers to your general purpose or ambient light sources.
+ Choose Your Bulb Carefully. For example, you may want to have cooler lamp/bulbs in your kitchen and office/work areas and warmer light sources in your living area or bedroom.
+ Consider the Scale of Your Light Fittings. Be sure to get the proportions correct in relation to the size of the room and the furniture within the space. Oversized shades can be made into a feature but can also easily overwhelm.
+ And, take a photo of your room! Taking a photograph of your room will help with this, which will immediately show you any dark areas that may need more lighting or if any more accent lighting is needed to emphasise certain areas.
