Lighting Up Your Home

Choosing a type of lighting for your home can prove to be quite a difficult task

, and with the ever evolving new designs and styles of light on the market there are so many to choose from.

But is the design the only consideration we should take into account when choosing which lighting products to go for?

A lot of people overlook the importance that lighting can have, not only on your home, but the atmosphere that is created as a result. Having a limited amount of light within the home can certainly create a depressive and gloomy feel, which is often reflected into peoples personalities.

There is certainly some other considerations to be taken into account to use the most of the light created in your home to your advantages. These include:

* Location

* Colours

* Natural Light

The location of which the lighting is to be placed within the home is one of the key considerations, whether it is a kitchen, living room or bedroom each has a specific requirement and feel.

Kitchen's are usually one of the lightest areas in the home and as a result would require much more light. Living rooms and bedrooms tend to have a natural relaxing feel to them, and will not require as much light as a result.

The type of light you choose in these instances should reflect these conditions. Ceiling and pendant lights would be ideal for the kitchen with their wide coverage, and lamps, spot and wall lights would work well for the bedroom and living room as they are much more secluded.

Again these options will depend on other factors within the home. Colours in the room will play a huge part in the amount of light given off naturally, typically with darker and moodier colour rooms requiring much more light .

Natural light also plays it's part, with more windows helping to lift the atmosphere in the home for longer, requiring less lighting as a result.

Along with the actual lighting, lampshades if used should also be considered as they too can control the amount of light that is actually given off in the room. There are a number of designs including cylindrical, square, empire shades and many other designs out there which all direct the use of light in different ways.

Depending on the atmosphere you are looking to create ultimately will decide which lighting will suit your home best.
