So you're looking for a change. The first thing everyone thinks of is changing the paint colors. This may be the most common suggestion in the world and a great one but... may we suggest it's highly overlooked and talented sister LIGHTING?
We're talking about those boring light fixtures that came with your home and, if I had to guess, everyone else's home in your neighborhood as well. What the right lighting can do for a room is very much underestimated. It can make or break the best laid design plans, make walls recede, turn your family portrait wall into something gallery worthy, bring out the beautiful texture of the upholstery you spent a pretty penny on. Aside from the type of light they give off and what gets highlighted, you can give a small space "Wow Factor" by changing out the ceiling light with a fixture that commands attention. Plus, everyone and everything is more attractive under better lighting. Lighting sets the mood. The reasons for investing in good lighting are endless.
Let's get started:
If new fixtures are not in the budget right now, INSTALL DIMMER SWITCHES! Super easy DIY project. For $10 to $20 each it will make a world of difference!
Here is how to calculate the maximum wattage that is necessary for your room:
Room length x Room width x 1.5 = Amount of Wattage
Now dived this number into more than one source. Such as recessed ceiling lights, lamps, pendants, and chandeliers.
HAPPY SHOPPING!
