How do you choose the right lights for your premises?

If this question has baffled you, here are some things you should keep a look out for:

Choose a lamp or light that matches your interior decoration

The lamp must suit the overall setting at your premises. For example, if you have expensive leather furniture, a chandelier would enhance the decor. But if your setting is casual with cushions and color contrasts, a Japanese stand lamp will be a great asset.

Ceiling height plays a vital role in determining the type of light you choose. A chandelier’s magnificence is enhanced on a high ceiling. Low ceilings look best with recess lights, down-lights or ceiling flush lights.

If you want to create a touch of luxury and elegance to your premises, diffuse lights work wonders.

A bathroom and bedroom are very private areas of the dwelling. To enable you to be totally relaxed, opt for luminescence.

Chandeliers and lamps too bright during parties or romantic evenings? Enjoy different levels of brightness at different times – dimmer control can be used to adjust brightness.

If you love pictures on your walls, get a picture light to illuminate that favourite painting. The effect is superb when the light is reflected!

Outdoor lights have specific functions. Some lights illuminate the name and number of the premises. Others render a soft glow to the garden. Importantly, it must blend with the landscaping.
