Ways of Lighting Up Your Home
Light is one of the most important things in a man’s life. We need it to perform most of our daily errands. Today, a lot has changed regarding how lighting installations are done in both homes and companies. People must consider so many factors to come up with the right solutions. There has been the emergence of brighter LED lights that double up as energy savers as well as specialized décor lighting. This means that unlike before, you have more options to choose from.
Having a plan is the first step in the right direction towards quality and stylish lighting in your premises. After all, lighting is also a form of interior décor. It also impacts on the general atmosphere in the room. Getting it right means a lot more than just illuminating your house.
Think about what you want to achieve with the different types of light effects in the various rooms. There are three main types of effects. These are task light, ambient light, and accent light. The task light is a lot in places such as the study room or home office for reading or working. The light produced is bright and fixed on one location. The ambient light is a bit soft and soothing, and have a relaxing feeling which makes it perfect for the dining room and bedroom. Lastly, the accent lighting is designed to draw attention to a particular area. It highlights key features like a display or an alcove. You will find them in the living room setting.
When it comes to installing lights in different rooms, you should think about the purpose and function of that room. For instance, the dining room and bedroom are places that need a refreshing and relaxing atmosphere. The bedroom will do well with soft lighting while dining only needs track light/pendant installed strategically above the table so that people can see their food. The bathroom light only needs a single shower downlight.
The home office, as mentioned earlier, will need bright and direct light to illuminate your workstation or reading area. The perfect example is a halogen desk lamp with features that enable you to adjust the lighting brightness when necessary. The kitchen being some work area will also need enough light. Have they installed high up on the ceiling and point down towards the work surface.
In the living room, you can always make use of the natural light during the day. However, when night falls, you only need reliable lighting that is strategically placed and functioning well. For the hallway, think of a warm and welcoming effect. More like hanging pendants, lanterns and chandeliers. Your guests should feel welcomed the moment the walk in through the hallway.
