Lighting

Consider the function of each space, the mood or ambiance you want to
create, the architectural features you wish to highlight, and the
overall design style of your home. Additionally, take into account
natural light sources and the activities that will take place in each
room.

Assess the specific lighting needs of each room based on its function.
For example, task lighting is essential in areas like the kitchen, where
precise work is done, while ambient lighting sets the overall mood in
living areas. Layering different types of lighting—such as overhead
fixtures, table lamps, and accent lights—helps to achieve balance and
functionality.

Pendant lights are versatile and work well over kitchen islands or
dining tables. Recessed lighting is ideal for providing ambient light in
hallways or bathrooms. Table lamps are perfect for adding task lighting
to desks or nightstands. Wall sconces can be used to highlight artwork
or architectural features.

Choose lighting fixtures that complement the overall design style of
your home, whether it's modern, traditional, or eclectic. Consider the
shape, material, and finish of the fixtures to ensure they harmonize
with your existing decor. Additionally, use lighting to create focal
points, emphasize textures, or add drama to specific areas of your home.
