Light Up Your Home Lighting StyleDo you want to give your house a major facelift--without the cost, hassle, and stress of major renovation? Consider a lighting lift. New lighting can revolutionize the look of a room, and if done with your whole house in mind, it can make your home feel warmer, cozier and more put together.
Green Lighting
A new trend in lighting technology is energy efficient lighting. Green lighting doesn't mean green--it means saving you some green. Energy efficient home lighting is cheaper than normal lighting--so it can cut your electricity bills significantly. Choose energy saving bulbs to LED lightings and cripton lights, both LED and cripton lights consume a lot of power and releases heat at the same time.
Soft LightingBasically, florescent lighting is out. (Although, was it ever really in?). Soft, mood lighting is in. Light fixtures that allow you to dim the lights help create the right atmosphere and bulbs made specifically for home lighting help as well.
Track LightingInstead of having one major lighting fixture in the middle of a room--a chandelier, a fan with light bulbs, one major lamp, you should consider track lighting or multiple, smaller lights all the way around the room. This lighting technology gives you many more options about where to shine lamps and how bright to make them.
LampsIt may seem too obvious, but its not. Finding the right lamp lighting for a room is an important task: the lamp should contribute to the overall feel of the room, add to its design, while also offering the right shade of lighting. Bulbs and other lighting technology can be adjusted to create the right tone and brightness of a lamp. Enjoy your lighting endeavors.
