The Home Lighting Effect

Identifying a suitable home or apartment does not just stop at inspecting the size of the structure or the location, you also must consider aesthetics. And one major aesthetic effect that enhances and adds more exposure and value to your home is Lighting.

Home lighting has gone far beyond the traditional way and purpose of lights in an apartment. Certain kinds of lighting can easily change how a room looks and feels, enhancing and amplifying the beauty of the home thus making it more attractive and potentially more valuable especially if you are considering the re-sale option.

If lighting is not properly considered, it may convey a wrong message about the age and condition of a home. The right light will not only enhance a home’s features, but make it feel larger, more modern, and ultimately more inviting to potential buyers or investors.

In view of these, it is important to consider 3 major categories of lighting that should be applied in your home:

Natural Lighting

Your home should have a lot of openings in the form of windows and possibly glass doors to let in as much natural light as possible. In general, a lot of lighting is always good for your house as dark areas in the house are unappealing and give a feeling of depression. Natural lighting can make your spaces look bigger, illuminate the interior structure and increase the beauty of a space, it can also increase the value of your property. Take advantage of the free light and energy from the sun by making small changes in your house. Change the way you use mirrors, paint colors and furnishings so that your area is opened up.

Ambient or General Lighting

This is one of the most common types of lighting. Ambient light is a soft glow that blankets your space just enough for you to function without causing a harsh glare. This is known as the natural light that helps you move from point A to B within your space. Pathways/ Corridors, studies, and Ante-rooms are examples of spaces that would function better with the use of Ambient lighting. To get this Lighting effect, you can make use of Chandeliers, Track and Ceiling lights

Task Lighting

Certain rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom and office require more illumination for specific purposes such as preparing meals, cosmetic application or reading. These lights usually help to stimulate the brain and helps to concentrate on the task at hand. We recommend using Pendants, Swing Arm Lamps, Under Cabinet and Vanity lights to create task lighting.
