Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a comfortable and functional home. To elevate your space, focus on layering three types of lighting: ambient, task, and accent. Ambient lighting sets the overall mood, while task lighting ensures practicality for activities like cooking or reading. Accent lighting highlights architectural features or decor, adding depth and character to your rooms.

Maximize daylight by using sheer curtains and strategically positioning mirrors to reflect light. For efficiency, use LEDs to replace traditional bulbs, which use less energy and last longer. Put in dimmers to have more control over daytime light intensity.

Create areas that are often forgotten, like staircases, more interesting with dramatic pendants or sconces for a dramatic effect. Use LED strips in bookshelves or cabinets to provide soft but effective light. Lastly, don’t just depend on ceiling lights—combine floor lamps, sconces, and other light sources to attain an all-around look.
