Amazing lighting ideas for your home
September, 2018
Everyone's home will have lighting, won’t it? But lighting is often ordinary and to be fair a little dull!
It’s simple and very no-thrills in the majority of cases which is a real shame because lighting can be used to great effect.
You can literally transform the look and feel of a room with the lighting alone and some creative thinking can make a big difference. Today I’ am going to share some amazing lighting ideas that you can easily replicate in your home, so if you’re bored of the same old lighting try out some of these exciting new tricks.
Outdoor Lights
Outdoors lights can be a big help when it comes to not just brightening up your garden but also providing extra safety on dark nights. External lighting comes in many forms and one of the most popular is solar powered lamps which can be placed alongside paths or in flower beds.
They are useful for highlighting areas of your garden like your driveway or flowerbeds but they don’t offer much more than that. To really get creative with outdoor lighting you should try uplighters, these are great options because they spread light up the exterior of your home. With uplighters and lamps working together you can beautifully highlight the exterior of your property.
Strip Lights
Strip lights are incredibly versatile and can be used to great effect in a number of rooms with ease! You can use them to highlight shelving units and displays which is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms but they can also be used in kitchens to add extra light to your workspaces and countertops.
Simply attach the lights under the kitchen counters and you’ll not only have a more soft tranquil lighting for your kitchen but also be able to prepare food more easily thanks to the extra light source. Strip lights can be used all around your home to great effect but make sure you don’t overdo it. They work better when they are being used to highlight certain areas or features so keep that in mind.
