Why Lighting Matters: 3 Basic Elements

Lighting is a key element in the design of any home. It reflects art, science, beauty, color, and size. Lighting even can reflect the mood of the home and help you save on your energy bill. Indeed, a room can be transformed with great lighting.    

So, what are some basic elements to know about lighting renovations?
 
1. Balance natural light with artificial light and bright with dark colors, factoring in everything from the size of the room to the color selection and type/style. For instance, brighter colors, as compared with darker ones, can actually make a room feel more spacious. 

2. Picture your home not how it is now, but how it will be transformed. The good news is that now homeowners have the opportunity to choose from many styles of shutters, shades, honeycombs, and sheers.    

3. Consult a lighting or interior designer. You may think you know what you want, but an expert may open your eyes to wider possibilities. (Not to mention a lot of initial consultations are free.)
