You are visiting a friend that has just had a
beautiful kitchen remodel done. It is a lovely
kitchen with stunning granite countertops and
a sharp looking tile backsplash. The glass door
cabinets are filled with the good china. Somehow
after spending a small fortune the room still
looks a bit drab.
So many times people spend a wad of money renovating
a room and neglect to take the lighting into consideration.
Properly placed lighting of the correct type can
literally make or break a room. That tile backsplash
can be brought to life with some low voltage linear
lighting. The china in those glass door cabinets
can really show itself off with some puck lights
and glass shelves.
Recessed lighting and a combination of switching
options can give a room many personalities to
suit any mood. From bright light for working conditions
to subtle lighting for a romantic setting can
all be accomplished with switches and dimmers.
Accent lighting to highlight certain aspects of
a project that were carefully planned but would
barely be noticed otherwise. Cove lighting above
crown moldings helps focus attention to the detail
of the room.
In a bathroom lighting is very important and
many times overlooked. Placing recessed lights
above can cause grief if a supplemental light
is not placed on the wall near the vanity. When
shaving or applying makeup those overhead lights
cause unwanted shadows. By placing an additional
light such as a wall sconce can eliminate that
problem.
When you carefully plan that next renovation
project or new home be sure the lighting is well
planned out as well. Home interior lighting is
very important
