Do you agree to the fact if we say ‘lighting is everything’? While some might agree, some others might find it to be a design cliché, but whichever way they take it, it is 100% true. Without proper lighting in your house, it is impossible to create the mood and ambiance on a space to make it feel like a cosy room. Once you get it right, the entire look of your interiors will improve. Aesthetics has always been one of the most vital parts of lighting up your home. However, it is sad enough to note that very few homeowners are aware of the role that aesthetics play in lighting your home. Here’s what you should know on it.

Installing artificial lights

While natural light flood your home, artificial light can even darken your home. You have to always make sure that there is some kind of illumination which can satiate the 2 main categories of task lighting, general light and accent lighting which is the key to creating a space that is controlled by light. The color, intensity and quality of light in a home have an impact on how the room may feel. When you cover your general lighting, you should put it on dimmer so that there is enough light for doing few tasks. For instance, if you wish to apply makeup, turn on the lights. Dimmer lights are indeed very helpful.

Installing bulbs

When you deal with different kinds of artificial light, you’ll know that the option for bulbs that you get in the market is just crazy. You get incandescent light bulbs, LED bulbs, halogen bulbs, CFL bulbs and fluorescent bulbs. The technology of artificial lights have changed and while there are incandescent bulbs hanging around everywhere, people have moved on to CFL and currently they’re all focusing on LED lights. This change has something to do with conserving energy. As more people get environmentally conscious, this had lead to new ways of consuming less electricity. With the different kinds of bulbs, you can use light in different ways to control the way in which your hoe feels. The lumens and color of the bulb are 2 things that you should keep in mind.

Natural Light

Now that we’ve discussed the different artificial light options, how can we forget natural light? This is the loveliest and truest light that you can have. There are in fact many interior designers who are truly biased with natural light. As natural light spills inside your home through doors, windows and skylights, it has a better impact than artificial light. Moreover, you can control natural light in various ways. With different forms of window treatment which range from barely to blackout, it is possible to manipulate the amount of light that you wish to enter your rooms.

Henceforth, when you’re all set to install the best lights in your home, you should consider the aesthetics of your home so that you can use the lights in the best possible ways.
