The same room can feel completely different depending on how it's lit. Good lighting is one of the most powerful — and affordable — design tricks.
Layer three types of light
Ambient light fills the room, task light helps you work, and accent light highlights art and architecture.
Choose warm bulbs
Warm white light feels welcoming in living areas and bedrooms, while slightly cooler light suits kitchens and bathrooms.
Highlight what you love
Picture lights, LED strips under cabinets and uplights behind plants create depth and drama.
Make a statement
A bold pendant or chandelier acts like jewelry for your room.
Use natural light
New windows, lighter window treatments and mirrors help sunlight travel further into your home.
