How to Choose the Right Lighting for Every Room

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood and function of any room. Here’s how to choose the right lighting to enhance each space in your home:

• Living Room: Opt for layered lighting to create warmth and versatility. A combination of overhead lights, floor lamps, and task lighting can create the perfect atmosphere for different activities, from reading to entertaining.

• Kitchen: Functional lighting is key. Pendant lights above an island, under-cabinet lighting, and spotlights for prep areas will ensure a well-lit and efficient cooking space.

• Bedroom: Soft, ambient lighting is ideal. Consider using dimmable lamps, sconces, or fairy lights to create a relaxed, calming environment.

Proper lighting can elevate your space, making it more inviting and functional. Be mindful of different lighting sources to make the most of your home’s potential.
