Choosing New Lighting For Your Home
By Matthew Shaulis Published: 12/02/2009
When you are in the mood to upgrade your home, new lighting is often a great place to start. Some great looking lamps could change the atmosphere of your living room, or an elegant chandelier could spruce up your dining room.
Household lighting is often overlooked, only the prudent remodeler takes a look at fixing a place up from the ceiling down. Your lighting will set the mood and the shadows of your rooms, this means that the entire effect of a room can depend on lighting. Household lighting is not just devoted to the overhead lighting of your home, but also your choice in lamps and lampshades. A lighting tract may be a great choice for the kitchen or facing a wall mural, but would be quite tacky in the formal dining room.
All rooms need to be considered as separate due to the mood that each room should have. Each mood should be displayed by contrasts in color and shadow. Rooms with plenty of dark wood or dark colors on the walls or floor will most likely require more light. Light colored hardwood floors and bright carpets will need darker shades and shadows to bring out the contrast. Wall murals are a great way to defract the light in a bright room.
Bedroom accented by dark hardwoods and vanity mirrors can classed up with tract lighting that will bring out all the rich colors. Show your sense of style with glass table lamps and bright lampshades. The back and sides of that walk in closet can be well lit with fluorescent lighting that will show off those fancy duds.
Children's rooms will normally be lighter shades and darker lamps can be utilized to balance the room with style. Even a blacklight will sometimes be a great option for children's rooms with posters and glow in the dark stickers and decals. Lava lamps can accentuate those brightly colored dressers and desks to bring about a nice contrast in color and depth.
Kitchens may look tacky with fluorescent lighting, but the garage is the perfect place for these monsters. If you enjoy working in the garage, you will want to be sure that your workshop is well lit, and this includes the walls of the garage. When you work often in the garage, you notice frequently that there is never adequate wall lighting. By mounting fixtures on the walls you will eliminate the need for droplights and be able to perform tasks far easier.
Since you are upgrading your household lighting, you should consider upgrading your outdoor lighting as well. Motion sensor activated floodlights will protect your home and make your life easier if you go out after dark. You can change the ambiance of your porch lighting with new light fixtures and show your evening guests how classy you are and what a sense of style your deck now has.
