When it comes to interior design, illumination plays a major role; when you think about it, light controls your perceptions, a bright room feels energetic, while a room with low light is more relaxing. In this short article, we offer the UK homeowner a few tips on how to brighten things up in the home.
- Ground level lighting – A game-changer, installing a couple of ground level LED light fittings in the hallway makes for a distinguished look. The stairs and landing are perfect for ground level lights, which is enough to safely negotiate the landing and staircase, while task lighting can come from a ceiling fitting.
- Creative lampshades – Check out this tiered lampshade at lights&lamps, a leading UK light fitting supplier; browse at your leisure and when you are ready, you can place an order. Domed, pear-shaped and even octagonal shades are available, with a range of attractive colours, you can create a unique ambience.
- Spotlights for accent lighting – Features can be tastefully highlighted with spotlights; affix tracking to the ceiling or wall and you can have 3-4 spots, each pointing at a different location. If you have a study, a row of LED spotlights is a must and in the evenings, they can be your only source of light.
- Make best use of natural light – If you have large windows, try to arrange it so you can allow in a lot of natural light. Vertical blinds are ideal for allowing natural light into a room; order made to measure blinds from a local blind-maker and enjoy the best shading.
- Convert to LED – Incandescent lightbulbs are relatively wasteful, whereas LED lighting uses much less energy; they might cost a little more than traditional bulbs, but they last an average of 50,000 hours, which means you save money. Search online for a leading UK light fitting supplier and check out their amazing catalogue.
There are free resources online about home lighting to help you make all the right choices and when you are ready to shop, the online supplier has you covered. Browse from the comfort of your home and free delivery is typical if you order over £100, which is really convenient.
