Professional Lighting Design is a Great Way to Stretch Your Home Improvement Dollar!

Whether you just bought a new home or want to make your existing home more functional and comfortable, a great home lighting design offers a lot of bang for your home improvement buck! LED lighting offers all the illumination any room needs at a fraction of the cost of conventional lighting, and you can control smart lighting on the go using a convenient smartphone app!

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plan your home improvements:

Use the right mix of task and ambient lighting-Your top priority is ensuring you’ll have enough light in the places you need it, which is easy enough to accomplish with overhead fixtures and lamps. But in common areas such as living rooms and kitchens, ambient lighting makes a room feel more comfortable and inviting. Recessed lighting, track lighting, and wall sconces are all great ways to bathe a room in light, and dimmer switches enable you to choose how much or how little ambient light you want at any time; be sure to purchase and install dimmable LED bulbs.

Choose the right color temperatures for all fixtures-2000K to 3000K LED bulbs emit “warm” light with a slightly yellow-orange tint and are ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. 3100K and 4500K LED bulbs emit “cool” light with a whitish-blue tint and are ideal for task lighting in your kitchen and bathrooms.

Install lighting that’s both flexible and functional-Smart bulbs offer a lot of great features, and you can adjust wattage and color temperature remotely. For additional home security, be sure to also use timers to automatically turn your indoor lights on and off any time you’re out of town or on vacation!
