Beautify your home with “layered” lighting

One of the most common issues we see in homes are rooms that are lit from a single light source. Lighting should be thought of in layers.
There are three layers to consider - general or ambient lighting, accent lighting and task lighting. General lighting allows you to move around the home comfortably. Accent lighting creates focal points within a space. It can highlight artwork, collectibles, wall textures or other architectural accents. Task lighting provides additional light for specific tasks like cooking, reading or getting ready in the bathroom.

Don’t let lighting be an afterthought
In new construction, many times people overlook lighting because it either “comes with the house” or is already on the construction drawings. The lighting plan on the drawings or that comes with the house is really just to meet local construction codes so while it may provide for the basics, it won’t bring out the beauty in your home. We recommend planning early and making lighting a high priority.
