Choose the right light for your home

When choosing lights for your home, all of those decisions that seem overwhelming really can make a difference.

finding the right lighting for your home may seem like an easy task. Lamp goes here, chandelier goes there, then you head to the store to grab a few different types of light bulbs because what if some are too warm? Or too cool? Or too bright? Does it really matter? How much of a difference will it make?

As it turns out, it makes all the difference. Good lighting is everything and can take a home from lackluster to lively with the flip of a switch.

Whether you’re planning an entire renovation or just giving your space a facelift, consider the size and style of each room and the activities that take place in each of them. The layering of various types of light will help you achieve the perfect look and function for each room.

Choosing the fixtures is the fun part. Choosing the bulbs is a little less inviting, but just as important. Energy efficient LEDs are the new normal, available in a variety of brightness levels and color temperatures. Personalize your light fixture even more thanks to a plethora of distinct bulb shapes on the market today.
