While colour, style and layout are all integral pieces of any typical home renovation, lighting is just as, if not more important. After all, lighting does a lot more than people initially assume. It doesn’t just add style to a room; it adds a mood into the room. With the right lighting and electrician installing it, you can make people feel certain ways about your home while also adding that comforting feel you desire in your space.
Whether you want lighting that’s dimmer, stronger, colder or warmer, we here at SiteTech Electrical want to talk about the various lighting techniques that help boost the design of your home. With so many varying pieces of advice out there, our team wants to offer helpful tips that will work to make your home look and feel better for everyone residing within it.
Say Goodbye To Outdated Lighting Fixtures
Do you have fixtures that use outdated bulbs? Maybe you have a lot of circular/dome shaped lighting around your home. These fixtures are commonly paired with golden accents and don’t really match most current home aesthetics out there. If you leave these fixtures in a space that is renovated, they will make your space look bad and look out of place in general. When you remove these and replace them with upgraded lighting fixtures, you’re one step closer to making your home’s lighting look its best.
Don’t Add Too Much Light
Once you’ve installed newer fixtures, always be sure you don’t add too many or make them too bright and harsh. Overlighting a space will often make the rest of the items within a room look out of place and messy. In other scenarios, it makes a room feel uncomfortable and more importantly, it’s a waste of your hard-earned money. Sometimes a little goes a long way in terms of lighting and finding that perfect balance between bright and dim will make your place look cozy, welcoming and stylish.
Mix Things Up!
While it’s easy to purchase the same light for each room and leave it at that, adding different types of lighting fixtures works to add depth to a room. This means smaller lighting options such as stair lights, shelf lights, wall lights, even lights under your cabinets/on your backsplash in your kitchen. Take a good look at the rooms in your home and what you want people to focus their attention on. If there’s a really nice painting in your space that you want to highlight, use lights to emphasize it. The ideas are truly limitless with these lighting choices.
Look Into Stylish Switches
Let’s be honest— most light switches that are five, ten years old are usually quite plain looking. Gone are the days of outdated light switches, however; with the advancements in tech and design, you can get switches that match the design of your space. Whether you want something more minimal or sleek, something rustic and warm or something with dimming features and timers, most stores have all the options you could possibly want now.
