Find the right lighting for your home

Finding the right lighting for your home isn't always easy. We have some tips for what to think about when choosing a new lamp!

Many think that lighting your home is among the most challenging things to do right in interior design. The right lighting can make all the difference for a room, regardless of how you choose to decorate it otherwise. Since every home is different, there is no one solution which works for every room and every home, but we've collected these simple tips to make planning how to light your home a little easier!

Variation

To create a pleasantly lit room you need variation. Varying light placement, size and intensity. For a smaller room, five to seven light sources is appropriate, while a large room might need up to 10 lights to set the right mood. It may sound like a lot, but if you vary your light choices it won't feel overwhelming and over-the-top. Naturally, you don't have to have all the lights switched on at the same time either.
