Quick Tip No. 4 | It’s Lit
One way to change the way your space looks is to make sure it’s well lit. You’ll probably be able to list off lighting complaints without thinking twice, but it’s also helpful to step back and survey your space at different times of day. Lighting falls into one of three categories:
Ambient lighting: the overall lighting
Task lighting: the functional lighting
Decorative lighting: the sparkle
Does the space generally feel dark? Let’s add more ambient. Do you struggle while cooking, reading or doing other tasks appropriate to the space? Let’s add in some task lighting for function (but keep it pretty!). Lastly if it still looks … blah, that’s where the decorative lighting comes in. This is where we highlight the design, add in a pretty lamp or sconce and use lighting as art.
You need all three of these types to make a space well lit and the design successful. Need help deciding what to add? We’re more than happy to help!
