The lighting in your home has come a long way in the last few years. When the home was first built, lighting wasn't thought out as well as the rest of the house. Good lighting is more than just saving energy. Lighting schemes are used to improve your decor and your way of life. A well-thought-out lighting design takes into account both natural and electric lighting, as well as how to best distribute light inside the room.
When you plan your lighting, think about how you can make your home not need electricity when it's daytime. Lighting schemes are determined by how people are seated, the placement of furniture, the size and shape of the curtains, and the color of the walls and ceiling. You also need to think about where the electricity goes. When you're planning your lighting, think about what the room is used for, how you want it to feel, and what you want to show off.
LAMP IT UP
In lamps, anything made by hand is big. Handmade "basket" style lamp shades that show off different textures, like linen or mesh cage-style shades, are becoming more popular. Even metal light fixtures that are made by hand are in style. These days, there aren't any floor lamps. Instead, there are feature lamps that make a statement and are sculptural, like this one in the living room. Side table lamps are in style now.
HANG IN THERE
For a modern look in a room, rustic chandeliers are coming back. People use chandeliers for both practical reasons and as a key part of the look and feel of the room. This is a thumb rule: bigger, the better. There should be more than one chandelier in a room, not just one. To add a bright color and also to separate the space, choose two.
LAYER YOUR LIGHTS
Lighting is made up of three parts: ambient, accent, and task. Ambient is all about making a room or space look like it's at night. Accents are the special statement pieces or visual elements you use to make the look your own. People who use task lighting do so for specific things, like reading or cooking, but it also can be used for other things. Laud says that when you're planning the lighting in your home, think about what you like. "Good lighting is a mix of light and shadow." You can draw attention to interesting things in a room by putting different types of lighting next to each other. This could be a sculpture, wall art, a bold textured wall, a sitting arrangement, or even an interesting light fixture itself.
LIGHTING FINISH
There are a lot of people who like gold lighting right now. However, there has been a rise in matte black, satin nickel, and polished finishes instead of brass. If you're looking for a light fixture, you might want to look for one that has a finish that shows how good it is.
Our eyes are drawn to bright things, and our lighting plans are a way to reward it with visual interest.
Not all rooms need ceiling lights. Accent lighting is a good way to make a scene look more interesting.
Lighting should be planned ahead of time.
During the day, plan how to light your home with very little electricity.
In the beginning of designing, think about the lighting layout.
Layered lighting helps to make each room feel like the right place to be at night.
A lot of light is absorbed by dark-colored walls and floors. Use light-colored surfaces and well-placed ceiling and wall lights to make sure there is enough light in the room.
Indirect lighting, like cove and pelmet lighting, can be used to add background lighting.
LOOK OUT FOR...
Lights that aren't noisy Lights that can cut down on noise pollution could be a game changer for home well-being. Lighting is going wireless or with a lot less wires.
