Our Bright Idea

Now that you have the perfect furniture that exemplifies your family’s style while also fulfilling functional needs, it’s time to turn your attention towards the light. By light, we mean the table lamps, floor lamps, and other lighting fixtures that populate your home. People often complain that despite the fact that they have many fixtures, they have little actual light in the rooms of their home. We’re hoping to help you solve this conundrum with a few bright ideas.

Tip 1 – When considering the lighting for a room, it’s smart to ask which kind will serve the room best and what tools will be needed to perform its function. And by tools, we mean things like adjustable settings, mobility, etc.

Tip 2 – If there are built-in fixtures that you absolutely cannot get rid of, consider repainting the room or a portion of the room. Flat wall paint works well to diffuse light.

Tip 3 – Display lighting can be effectively around, above, or beneath any artwork you wish to highlight in your home. This can be great for family portraits or college diplomas, too.

Tip 4 – Proper task lighting is incredibly important. This type of lighting is used to brighten areas where you spend large amounts of time, like at your work desk or the kitchen counter. In particular, we recommend using lights in these areas that are directional, meaning that the light can be aimed at specific places in the room.

Tip 5 – It’s not all about functionality. Some lighting can function as pieces of art. Choose more decorative overhead lighting for the bedroom and the dining room. Additionally, creating layers of light by using multiple light sources in a single room can be quite beautiful.

We hope these tips will help you on the path towards efficient and stylish lighting. The key, of course, is to be able to see what you’re doing in a manner that is unobtrusive. A variety of lighting that allows for different options is the best way to go.
