Brighten Your Home With 5 Easy Lighting Ideas
No doubt, lighting is one of the most important elements of your home’s design, not only for style and creating an atmosphere for gathering, but for performing daily activities and specific tasks in a safe and healthy environment. Insufficient lighting makes your home appear dull, causes fatigue and is unsafe for movement about.
Lighting design is specifically created for solutions that improve the life, safety, and welfare of those using the space by integrating the proper general, task, accent, and decorative lighting including the appropriate proportion, installation, bulb, energy efficiency, and controls. In fact, creating a quality, personalized lighting layout and design to meet the needs of today’s lifestyle is crucial for 24/7 multi-use by multiple generations.
In my professional design practice, I create lighting designs tailored for my clients and incorporate the latest products, fixtures and technology to create modern solutions by sourcing and specifying lighting not only for function and beauty, but for safety, joy, and various uses.
