LIGHTING CONSIDERATIONS BY ROOM
Kitchen Lighting: The kitchen differs from many other rooms of the home when it comes to lighting since it requires brighter task lighting to prepare food effectively but also safely. There are many different options available but some include rangehood lighting over the stove. LED track lighting under wall mounted kitchen cabinets can provide good visibility for bench tops.
Bedroom Lighting: Fixed lighting in a bedroom is typically softer, warmer and more inviting. A single overhead light is normally sufficient in an average sized bedroom with a simple design or shade. Dimmer switches can be a great option in the bedroom and extra light for reading can easily be achieved from a lamp on a bedside table.
Bathroom Lighting: Bathroom lighting needs to achieve both practicality but also attractive to help make an often cold looking space more inviting. Heating lights to provide warmth can be an appealing option during winter and early mornings. Mirror lighting is also popular in bathrooms.
Lounge Room/Living Area Lighting: The living area is normally one of the biggest areas of the home and gives the greatest flexibility when choosing lighting. Here you can choose a grand chandelier or other statement piece, or go for something more modern with wall mounted bracket lights. Dimmer switches are useful to control the ambience of the room and save energy. Accent lighting is used in this area of the home highlight certain features of the room including artwork, cabinets or to create a dramatic focal point.
