A creative application and arrangement of lighting fixtures can play a dramatic role in the ambiance of a room. Light is an essential element in the design of a home that can be used to set different moods, from warm and restful to bright and exuberant. During a home remodeling project, designer Kim Malito says you should consider these lighting techniques before you make your decision (and before you "just pick" a light!).
After a home remodeling project, a homeowner can find fixtures that uniquely blend with the new home decor. Bulb wattage can vary depending on the application, and homeowners can also select multicolored lighting, from white light for reading nooks to cozy warm white light for bedrooms and dens. The bulb shape and style can also impact mood, with some decorative vintage bulbs functioning as design accents on their own.
