Lighting can make a difference.
Lighting can make a big difference in how you feel about your home. It helps you perform tasks more easily, makes you feel safer and more comfortable, and allows you to enjoy your home to its full potential. Lighting adds beauty and drama to a room. It can make a small room look open and airy, and a large room appear cozy and inviting. It can create a stimulating atmosphere for a night of entertaining, or a feeling of relaxation after a long tiring day. In so many ways, lighting can make a difference, and it does so inexpensively compared to other home decorating or remodeling options.
Determining your needs.
Lighting should be planned to complement your lifestyle. So, first you need to develop a home lighting plan that suits your individual needs and those of your family. When planning your lighting, look at the activities that will occur in each room, the atmosphere you want to create and the decorative elements you wish to emphasize. Keep in mind that light can be absorbed and even wasted in dark coloured rooms, or reflected and used as additional illumination in light coloured rooms. Also, take note of those areas serving more than a single purpose and those that will require more than one type of lighting.
