Clean Lighting for Your Home

By: Mike Yeager

When one thinks of the many factors that affect the look of a room, most people think only of the paint and furniture. In doing so, they overlook the most important factor: Lighting. Without the proper interior lighting, most rooms will lose any ambience that the owner intended. For example, a room with too bright lights might make the room look harsh. A room with too dark lights might make a room appear gloomy. Many new homeowner have been disappointed when their carefully contrived plans for a room just doesn’t seem to have the right touch.

More often then not, improper lighting is the cause.

How to correctly use lighting in your home.

The placement of interior lighting is very important. Even though a lamp might look good in a certain corner of a room, be sure to check that it will provide enough light for the whole room. Likewise, be sure to place lights in places where they will not cause glare on a computer monitor or television screen.

It is usually better to have many small light sources rather than one large one. If a room still appears too dark, check to make sure that all the lighting sources all have the correct voltage. If one gives a room proper lighting, not only will the room look great, it will also give the room just the right touch
