Lighting is one of the most important elements for a comfortable living space. With the right lighting, a living space can be transformed and made more welcoming. There are a variety of lighting options to choose from including task, mood, and natural light. Task lighting, as the name suggests, is used mostly in work areas and is usually brighter than the ambient lighting. This type of lighting is focus based and helps to reduce eyestrain. Common examples include reading lamps, desk lamps, and overhead LED lighting. Mood lighting is a soft lighting that is used to set the tone in a room. It is generally used in areas that are meant to be relaxed or for entertaining. Examples of this can be a dimmer switch, candle light or fairy lights around the house. Natural lighting is the best type of lighting as it is both energy efficient and adds a special feeling to the home. Though it is often considered difficult to incorporate in homes, cleverly placed windows, skylights, or glass doors can bring in natural light. No matter the type of lighting chosen, it is important to understand how different lights can affect the atmosphere of a home. The right kind of lighting can make a home feel cozy and inviting.
