Your Custom Home: Lighting Sets the Mood

Think of lighting as the jewellery of your home. Lighting is essential for aesthetics, ambiance, productivity and functionality throughout your space. The more unexpected and unique your lighting choices, the more custom your home will look.

Antique chandeliers, recessed lighting, LED lights and solar walkways – each will affect the mood of your home. 

To make your home both comfortable and functional, consider the following questions:

  • Am I lighting unexpected places?

  • Does my lighting have layers?

  • Do my lights dim?

  • Do my fixtures reflect current styles?

  • Is my lighting focused?

Lighting tips from the pros:

  • Use a range of lighting in varied heights and locations.

  • Prevent lighting fatigue by keeping different parts of a room at different brightness levels

  • Make use of directed lights in the kitchen.

  • Light vertical surfaces, like art or feature walls.

  • Change your light switches to light dimmers.

  • To create dramatic appeal, paint the lights with coloured LED lighting.
