It’s that time of year again- fresh beginnings, new goals, new you!
Everyone tends to start the year with setting new year’s resolutions for themselves. Whether that be spending more time with family and friends, new career aspirations, or getting started on a new hobby.
But what goals do we set for our home?
In the spirit of new beginnings, we’ve put together some lighting solutions that will help elevate your home, making it feel more fresh, beautiful, and radiate positivity! After all, there’s no time like the present to create your dream space.
One of the best (and least expensive ways) to change up a space is to clear out the clutter and address your lighting plan. Lighting is often overlooked, and you’ll find that with a few tweaks here and there, you can completely change the look and feel of a room. We suggest before diving into it, you assess one room at a time so you can decide which one you’d like to tackle first- you don’t want to overwhelm yourself before you’ve even begun!
Once you’ve selected your starting room, it’s time to consider the activities that take place in that room. You want to ensure that the light options are complimenting your space, and that you're choosing them with purpose- even if that’s just decorative lighting! This can be a little more difficult when your spaces have multipurposes- that’s when layered lighting comes into play! When you layer your lighting scheme, you can create different moods and have different illumination sources for different tasks whilst still having a beautiful ambiance. That could mean a subtle mood light for some relaxing after a long day, a task light for when you want to curl up and read in your favourite lounge chair or get some work done, or a spotlight to showcase your artwork hanging on the walls.
Here’s the variety that we’re referring to:
