Lights.co.uk - A Comprehensive Guide to all of your Lighting NeedsLighting is an often neglected aspect of interior design; however a well planned lighting scheme can enhance both the attractiveness and functionality of your home enabling you to really make the most of your living space.Lighting can be used to highlight features within your home and also be used as a striking feature in its own right, although its effects tend to be more subtle. By combining layers of ambient, accent and task lighting within each room you will be able to create an overall effect that can be varied (using lighting controls) to aid you in both tasks and relaxation. Traditional features such as pendant lights, chandeliers, spot and recessed lights always work well when combined with additional lighting techniques such as lamps and under-cabinet lighting. However a new generation of lighting techniques and fittings are becoming increasingly popular as these are specifically designed to introduce dramatic lighting effects into your home in a more energy efficient way. Energy saving bulbs (CFLs) have been improved so that they now provide a viable, attractive and efficient alternative to regular incandescent bulbs. Additionally, new uses of technology such as LED and fibre optic lighting offer almost limitless ways of introducing both striking lighting effects and colour into your home. Developments in outdoor lighting mean that by using a combination of efficient security lighting and other outdoor lighting techniques (such as solar powered lights), you can make your garden a secure space that you are able to enjoy all year round. By considering the individual features, architecture and uses of each room and layering different lighting effects accordingly, you can ensure that your home can be used to its full potential whilst setting off your decor with beautiful yet complimentary lighting. |
