Lighting is an integral part of interior design, helping set the tone for different areas of your home. For some rooms, a chandelier is a perfect accent for your design, whereas other rooms could benefit from softer, more muted light fixtures. Choosing the right lighting for your home is crucial for creating a cohesive design, and these common fixtures can perfectly set the mood for your rooms:
Lamps
Typically used in living rooms, tabletop and floor lamps can be used to create diffused, cozier lighting in places like bedrooms and living rooms. Floor lamps help to lengthen smaller spaces, creating the illusion of a taller room due to their height, whereas tabletop lamps become a nice accent for end tables or nightstands, providing lower levels of light that are perfect for reading before bed.
Ceiling Fixtures
For bigger spaces in need of more light, overhead fixtures like chandeliers or ceiling-mounted lamps can provide a whole room with light. These ceiling-mounted light fixtures can also be combined with ceiling fans, creating a multi-use light fixture and temperature regulator in your room of choice.
Wall-Mounted Lights
Wall-mounted lights like sconces can be placed in any room, but they work especially well in hallways or bathrooms with extra wall space. These fixtures direct light upward, creating the illusion of a longer, wider space by highlighting the ceiling and providing ambient light.
Your Go-To for Lighting Installation
Although it may seem tempting to put new and decorative lighting fixtures in your home, calling an electrician is the best way to have these lights properly installed in your home.
