A well lighted house makes a favorable impression on the onlooker. Bright shiny lights leave a deep impression in our psyche. Lights are a sign of joyousness and tell us that human inhabitation is nearby thus they give us a feeling of comfort. When we see a well lighted house or garden or restaurant we are immediately drawn to that place. As humans we fear darkness and lights are help us get rid of that fear so lights whether they are indoors or outdoors are a great source joy for us.
If you are a party animal and love to entertain then remember your guests will love a well lighted house. They would greatly appreciate a house that looks beautiful with bright shinny lights and it also means safety and security for the guests. They feel more comfortable in such a surrounding. Make sure all parts of the house are lighted. Use appropriate lighting for the passage, living room, kitchen, dinning area, bathrooms as well as the bedroom.
Avoid opting for traditional lighting options that consume lot of electric power, instead of think of cost effective lighting options like CFL bulbs or LED lights which not just save you on electricity bills but also have a long life which means no yearly maintenance bill. Most of them are eco-friendly too, so you have a chance to show your concern for the environment in which you live.
Think of lighting pattern for the house. You could get false ceiling work done in your living room and get tiny CFL bulbs fitted which would give a lovely effect to the room. Use one or two table and floor lamps for the corners and get a chandelier fitted in the centre.
Adorn the walls of the living room with a mural or painting of your choice. An interesting mask or a table lamp could also add to the charm of the living room.
Moving to the kitchen it should not be neglected and this is not a place for muted lights, the kitchen top should be brightly lit so also the oven.
For the bedroom and bathroom passage use of recessed lights seems to be a perfect option as this space does not require very bright lights. Use of recessed lights for the bathroom especially the shower area and near the vanities provides much needed lights in the bathroom.
The bedroom is one place that needs a relaxed environment and diffused light would provide the right ambience for this room. Avoid using your laptop or the TV in this room and make sure that the setting is absolutely soothing for your tired nerves.
