One key factor in choosing your lighting is the brightness, this plays a large role in the mood the lighting develops. Areas often unused can be fitted with energy saving bulbs as they will require less lighting. Rooms such as a kitchen or dining room will require a more bright and visible light.
Position of the Light
Not all lights are hung from the ceiling, a light on a stand is also a alternative and can be capable of lighting a full room. These are more commonly used in lounge areas or bedrooms.
For rooms such as a kitchen or a hallway where unused space is limited, it is more common to use a overhead light.
Colour of the Light
Although the majority of people stick the basic lighting, coloured lighting can play a large role in the mood you would like to create, whether this is a relaxing mood, or a more active mood.
Would You Prefer A Dimmer?
Dimmers are becoming more popular in lounge areas, this allows you to receive both full lighting and dim the lights to a lower opacity for evenings to create a relaxing atmosphere.
