Lighting can dramatically transform the aesthetics and atmosphere of a room. Selecting the best lighting can be a challenge, but with these 5 tips, you’ll be able to make the right choice for your home interior. The secret is to consider lighting at multiple levels, from the floor to the ceiling and all of the levels in between.

Before you begin the search, be sure to visit the room at different times of the day. It may be helpful to take photos of your space to see which areas need extra brightness. Based on this, you can begin looking for lighting that will complement different levels within the space to create a harmonious and multidimensional scheme.

Start at the top

Lighting from the ceiling is practical and sets the tone of the room. There are many options, from a shimmering chandelier to a set of pendant lights. The most important consideration for your ceiling light is the level of brightness.

If you prefer soft lighting in the centre of the room, we’d recommend an LED Lamp. LED lighting is energy efficient and features a stylish and sophisticated design.

Lighting with colour

The tone of the light depends on the bulbs you choose. However, the light fixture itself can also be a source of colour for your room. This will draw eyes to the light and become a central part of your interior design.

Browse for lighting fixtures that sport bold colours or artistic designs with unique features to bring character and charm into the space.

Make a statement

Lights can make a statement and fill empty spaces naturally. For example, including a floor lamp in the corner of a room creates a point of interest combining practical use and a cosy feel. It can also be used to highlight other furniture in your room, like a bookshelf or mirror.

Light the way

Using lighting to illuminate spaces creates warmth in a room. One of the best ways to do this is by adding them to the walls. There are many options to choose, from traditional-style lanterns to artistic features.

Lighting fixtures for the wall are a great way to showcase art, with built-in lighting creating an inviting ambiance in a room.

Decorative lighting for finishing touches

A quick way to brighten up a room is with decorative table lamps. Ideal placements can be on side tables and consoles. This is also a great way to introduce different dimensions of lighting for both form and function.

If your lamp is warm-toned, be sure to find lightbulbs that match the tone to create a glowing ambiance.
