Correspondent 21st Feb, 2023   0

With so many options for lighting, it can get difficult to decide what type of lighting works well and in what space.

This article will help you with some ideas on how you can choose the perfect lighting in your home.

Lighting ideas for around the home

1. Use a combination of light sources: To create a well-lit and comfortable space, use a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting. Ambient lighting provides overall illumination, task lighting helps you perform specific activities like reading for cooking, and accent lighting adds visual interest to a room by highlighting artwork, architectural features, or other decorative elements.




2. Layer your lighting: Layers of light can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home. For example, you can use table lamps, floor lamps, or wall sconces to add depth and interest to a room. Ferm Living lighting makes gorgeous lamps for any space in the home.

3. Take advantage of natural light: Whenever possible, make the most of natural light in your home. This can be done by opening blinds and curtains during the day, or by installing skylights or large windows to bring in more light.


4. Dimmer switches: Dimmer switches are a great way to control the amount of light in a room and create different moods. They can be especially useful in the evenings, when you want to create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.

5. Choose the right light bulbs: The types of light bulb you choose can greatly affect the overall ambience of a room. Consider using LED lights, as they are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and available in a range of color temperatures, including warm white, cool white, and daylight.

6. Experiment with different light fixtures: Light fixtures are an excellent way to add personality and style to your home.
