Upgrading Your home requires a change of lighting in most cases. Some great looking lamps could change the atmosphere of your living room, or an elegant chandelier could spruce up your dining room.
The prudent remodeler will always look from the ceiling down for what needs upgrading and household lighting is a perfect place to begin. Lighting sets the mood of each room and determines the ambiance of the room. Household lighting does not just refer to table lamps and lampshades, but also overhead lighting. While a chandelier would look great hanging over your dining room table, it won't look so great in the living room or bedroom (in most cases).
All rooms need to be considered as separate due to the mood that each room should have. Each mood should be displayed by contrasts in color and shadow. Rooms with plenty of dark wood or dark colors on the walls or floor will most likely require more light. Light colored hardwood floors and bright carpets will need darker shades and shadows to bring out the contrast. Wall murals are a great way to defract the light in a bright room.
For a classy bedroom with dark hardwood dressers and vanity mirrors, tract lighting can do wonders for showing the rich colors of the wood and let you see how good you really look in those mirrors. Show your sense of style with glass table lamps and bright lampshades. The back and sides of that walk in closet can be well lit with fluorescent lighting that will show off those fancy duds.
Children's rooms will normally be lighter shades and darker lamps can be utilized to balance the room with style. Even a blacklight will sometimes be a great option for children's rooms with posters and glow in the dark stickers and decals. Lava lamps can accentuate those brightly colored dressers and desks to bring about a nice contrast in color and depth.
Kitchens may look tacky with fluorescent lighting, but the garage is the perfect place for these monsters. If you enjoy working in the garage, you will want to be sure that your workshop is well lit, and this includes the walls of the garage. Wall lighting is imperative for the man (or woman) that enjoys working in the garage. This will help with detail and diminish the need for using a pesky droplight all the time.
Since you are upgrading your household lighting, you should consider upgrading your outdoor lighting as well. Floodlights on motion sensors are a great deterrent of thieves and will help when it is time to take the trash can to the curb. New light fixtures on the porch can change the entire ambiance for your evening guests and show that you have great tastes and a classy touch.
