3 tips you need to consider for lighting in your home

Lighting plays an important role in shaping the ambiance and atmosphere of a home. It can be used to highlight certain features, create a sense of warmth and comfort, or even change the perceived size of a room. In contrast, if overlooked, poor lighting can make a room feel dark or uninviting and can even cause eye strain and fatigue.

When it comes to lighting here is what you need to consider. 

1) Lighting for living – Think about where you need lighting to support you with the way you live. Whether it’s reading, cooking or other activities you need to enjoy in your home.  Consider where you might like to automate lighting, perhaps the entry for safety and the pantry for convenience.
If you’re building new, planning this early on is best so you can ensure your new homes vision comes to life. 


2) Feature lighting – Instead of opting for downlights everywhere, mix up your choices and consider how feature lights can impact the space of your home. Some impactful pendants, strip lights or spotlights can really change a space.




3)  Dimmer lights – Adding dimmers into your home allows you flexibility, allowing for bright light during a dark morning and a softer, more ambient light in the evening. Feature lighting – Instead of opting for downlights everywhere, mix up your choices and consider how feature lights can impact the space of your home. Some impactful pendants, strip lights or spotlights can really change a space.
