Updating lighting at home is not as simple as buying new light bulbs from the local hardware store. What type of setting or mood are you hoping to achieve? What type of accents are the most eye-catching? These lighting designs and ideas might spark your imagination.
Chandeliers

These are perfect for all types of rooms, particularly ones with tall ceilings. Chandeliers are ideal for foyers and dining rooms. There’s various styles to choose from such as downlighting, which allows for direct lighting. With an added dimmer, you can change and easily control light intensity. Other types of chandeliers include fixtures with fabric or frosted glass shades.

Ceiling and Wall Mounted

These fixtures are mounted on the wall or ceiling and offer soft and/or accented lighting. These are practical in kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms. They can also be paired with other light fixtures as well.

Portable

Portable lights consist of lamps for the floor and/or table. These offer soft, direct, or accented lighting. They’re great if you need to move the lights around often.

Pendant
