Include 3 light sources in each room

The best way to make sure that your rooms are properly lit you need to have 3 light sources : general lighting which is the main one, usually overhead or pendant, specific light - this type of light can be a desk lamp or a reading light and an ambient light such as sconces, candles or decorative lamps. 

Add reflective surfaces in your home

In order to emphasize the lighting that you already have add mirrors, glossy flooring and metallic finishes so that light can easily bounce off of them.

Be artistic 

Use colorful sconces and decorative lamps to help also with the design of the room. If you are looking for a more classical approach, we recommend using white or light colored fixtures. 

Use the correct type of lighting 

It is recommended for bedrooms and living rooms to use soft white or warm white to make the rooms feel cozier. For bathrooms and kitchens it would be ideal to have a cooler white as it gives a more energetic feel to the room.
