Simple Tips for Making Your Home Look Brilliant
Layer lighting for the best results
Most rooms require different kinds of lighting, such as general lighting. This can be served by a standard overhead light such as a chandelier, ceiling fan light, or ceiling fixture. You may also want to consider adding perimeter lighting or accent lighting to bring a glow to the whole room instead of just the center. This kind of lighting will help bring light to the corners of the room, and can even make a small room seem larger. Lighting should be all around the room, at the center, and at places where you will be working or reading. Layered in this way, you won’t be searching in the dark again.
Boost your design with light
Besides overhead lighting and lamps, what other kinds of lighting will make your room look terrific? Plenty. Lighting enhancements such as dimmer switches create soft glow and romance aplenty. Wall sconces are another source of light at the perimeter that can create both light and drama. Lighting artwork is yet another way to bring more attention and focus to different parts of the room. If you have original art pieces – and even if you don’t – lighted artwork brings your eye to the outer walls of the room and makes your art seem more important. It’s also a great way, again, to make a room seem larger, draw you into it, and make you want to stay there.
