How To Present Your Property In The Best Light !

Whether it is a romantic dining room or a home office finding the right lighting for each space in your home is essential in making it functional and inviting.

So what should you consider when choosing lamps or lighting fixtures to ensure that they will provide the right kind of light while still fitting in with the décor of the room?

Function Before Fashion  

Naturally you want your lighting choices to match and complement the décor of your home. If they are not the right functional choice for the space your initial infatuation with them will likely fade.

For work spaces such as kitchens be sure your lighting will provide ample brightness while also being easy on the eyes.  For rooms such as the living room or dining room you'll want to consider lighting sources that are adjustable to allow for relaxation and a romantic atmosphere.  It is important to remember that these areas will also be used for work and play so they should also provide adequate light.  Be sure to consider the financial and environmental impact of the type of lighting you use. Using energy efficient bulbs and dimmers can reduce your carbon footprint and your electricity bill.

Size Matters!

If you have a small dining room then choosing that large ballroom sized chandelier you fell in love with may not be the best idea.  Recessed lighting for a large foyer while functional can make the space feel cold and uninspired.  Always make sure that the fixtures or lamps you choose are proportional to the space as this will make the room look well designed.

Using Light As Decoration

While choosing lighting requires balancing form and function lighting can also be a great way to highlight existing features in a room.  Whether it is a painting or mirror over the mantelpiece or a unique feature using lighting to highlight them can add a finished and dramatic look to any room.

Lighting can really make the difference and all the hard work you put into choosing it will compliment the other décor elements.  It will be well worth the time and effort to truly finish off your property and make it look spectacular!
