Lighting Tips and Tricks
Lighting is a powerful tool. If you're looking to make a room more comfortable, as well as practical, you'll have to use several different types of lighting. This will give you the option to use your room in a variety of ways.
Lighting Combinations
For a myriad of lighting options, combine directional lamps, indirect lighting, diffusers and spots all at once. Each will enhance your room in its very own way.
Ceiling to Floor
Make sure to mix overhead lighting in the ceiling or from pendants and chandeliers with side lamps, floor lamps and accent spots.
Get in The Mood
Combine direct lighting, such as spotlights, and indirect, or ambient, lighting. The former serves a purpose by lighting a specific area; the latter brings out a mood or feeling in a room.
Bright or Dim?
Dimmers are a great tool to vary the amount of lighting in a room.
