There are certain items you add to a house to make it more homely. One of those items is light fixtures. They can add so much to a room, one might say they bring light to it. So let’s talk about light fixtures and which ones is best in what room of your home.
Track Lighting:
Track lighting is small light fixtures placed on a track. An electrical current runs through the track to get to all the lights. Each light can be positioned differently, so you can focus each one on a different feature in the room. Track lighting is very easy to install making it convenient. There are many different styles to choose from and who doesn’t like a choice?
However, with all the advantages there are disadvantages. Track lighting can be expensive, the more track you need the more money it will cost. As track lighting is mainly used to highlight artwork or furniture in the room, the general lighting in the room might suffer. This is a great option for many of the rooms in your house.
Under Cabinet Lighting:
Under the cabinet lighting is a great way to light up those dark places. It will help light up your kitchen surfaces so you can see what you’re cutting and mixing up in the kitchen more easily. Another great place to have under cabinet lighting is under the bookshelves, above your desk in your home office. Just giving you that extra bit of light you might need whilst working.
Chandeliers:
There are so many different types of Chandeliers, styles include traditional, rustic, industrial, and modern. All chandeliers come in different shapes and sizes. One of the pros of choosing a chandelier is that it does light up the entire room. It looks elegant and comes in many sizes. A great room for this would be the dining room. However, one thing to be careful of when choosing a Chandelier is the length, you don’t want to make it too long otherwise you might hit your head on it. You wouldn’t want that. They also need to be professionally installed, they are hard to clean, and Chandeliers cost much more than most other light fixtures.
Lamps:
Lamps are a great way to bring a little light into any room. Whether you keep a lamp next to your bed to help you read or next to the couch or an armchair. A desk lamp is there to help you see the computer screen when you work.
Pendant Lights:
What is Pendant Lights? It is a light fixture that hangs from the ceiling. Usually suspended by a long cord or a metal rod. You can either hang one or hang a few in a row to gain more light in the room. Whether it be in your kitchen or dining room. One of the many advantages of pendant lights is that there are so many styles to choose from. If you decide, after a few years you do not like that style they can be easily changed. They are easy to clean and are definitely better for smaller spaces than other options. Other things to keep in mind when choosing a pendant lighting because the lighting quality is lower you may need multiple pendants to light up a room. They also need to be installed professionally and may require a specific kind of bulb.
Flush Mount Lighting:
A flush mount light is typically dome-shaped attached to the ceiling. There is also semi flush mount lighting which has more of a decorative base. They are simple light fixtures and are effective. They will light up an entire area, unlike other fixtures that focus on a specific piece of furniture or area in the room. These are also great for low ceilings and don’t need dusting as often as other fixtures. These will work best in any room of the house you decide. These are great for bathrooms or kitchens or really any room you choose.
