Delaware Home Lighting Tips from The Light House

The lighting in your home creates the ambiance that dictates your home’s fashion. Improper lighting can be a detriment to having visitors return, so you’ll need to take the time to find home lighting that works for your home. The Light House, serving Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland with lighting for homes, offers the following tips:

Use natural light

There are many tricks you can use to optimize the natural light in your home. Putting a mirror near the window makes rooms seem bigger and brighter. Replacing heavy curtains with blinds or light drapers with allow light to flow without interruption. Another way to increase the amount of natural light in your home is with white paint and flooring.

Mix up the lighting

Combining lighting like fluorescents and downlights with halogen bulbs will make light go more uniformly throughout the space. Using one central lighting source will create glare and unappealing shadows.

Diffusers can be your best friend

Daylight bulbs can reduce the warmth in your home, so using warm light bulbs can create the feeling of “home.” Using fabric screens, wood and/or paper are alternatives to curtains and shutters for diffusing light, while indirect lighting can make for flattering glows.
