Your home’s lighting needs is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Each room requires something different and we’re here to help you figure out what that is for some of the main spaces in your home.
Lighting tips for every room
Kitchen
You may not realise it, but your kitchen probably requires more lighting sources than you think it does. While many of us rely on only one, we should be considering the following:
> Ambient lighting: These include popular pendant lights that one would usually hang above a counter or island space. When installing these lights be sure that they are hanging approximately 90 cm-100 cm above your worktop in order for you to achieve the most light from them.
> Accent lighting: Accent lighting will add extra function to your space. Think tape lights at the bottom of toe-kick areas or in open shelves or glass cabinets to showcase dishes.
> Task area lighting: Task areas are the spaces where you do most of your food prep. These areas need to be well lit so would require bulbs that are at least 60 W.
Dining Room Lighting
Dark and shadowy is not really the vibe that you should be after in you dining room. The light in this space needs to be both functional and decorative. This is also, generally, the space that a chandelier would work well in. Remember that a chandelier requires sufficient space and ceiling height.
