The interior design of a home is constantly evolving. However, after much time walking past the same rug and wall art, you can get used to your surroundings, making the design feel flat and unappealing. You can always splurge on a room makeover, but is it worth doing every time you find your space uninteresting? Before you pull out the blueprints, here are four ways lighting can change a room without any interior design transformations.
Opens Up Smaller Spaces
Purposeful lighting has the intention of creating the illusion of more space. If tight areas are common within your home and causing cramped feelings, a large table combined with floor lamps and LED wall sconces will be fantastic at reflecting and dispersing light. Accent illumination can throw light upward and open the area around it, making it a practical and trendy lighting method to modernize your home.
Sets the Mood and Creates Ambiance
The proper illumination can create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in any space and instill a specific ambiance. For instance, uplighters are optimal for introducing a bit of drama into a cinema room, while a warm, gentle flush of lighting can turn a bathroom into a peaceful, tranquil space.
Establishes the Flow of the Space
Lighting can benefit open floor layouts by creating spatial divides and distinguishing areas without walls. Given a pendant light’s ability to center illumination on specific spaces, you can incorporate one to introduce brilliance and to divide areas.
Adds Personality to the Room
Of course, different lighting can bring fun and flair to your home. Think neon lights, rose quartz table lamps, and retro illumination! A few functional and whimsical pieces displayed throughout the home add a bit of personality without throwing off your interior design.
There are many ways lighting can change a room, and it starts with updating your light fixtures. By modernizing your lighting, you can quickly introduce a fun, refreshing, cost-effective design. Whatever your main objective, you’ll feel the difference as soon as you walk through the door and flip the switch!
