Home Ceiling Design

You may be planning how you want to design a room in your home. You have considered paint colors, furniture placement and window and floor coverings. Have you thought about your lighting? It can be an important decision to make. Ceiling lights can add so much to your room and the statement it makes. Here are a few things to take into consideration when choosing your lighting scheme as well as what some of your options are.
The first consideration is how much of a commitment you want to make to your lighting. Are you interested in replacing an existing fixture, or are you willing to add fixtures? This narrows down what your choices are. Many homes do not have ceiling lights in some rooms so you may find that you will need to wire in new fixtures anyway. It is fairly straightforward to replace an existing fixture but adding new wiring is often something that you should let the professionals handle. Of course, this can add to your costs, so it is something to take into consideration.

The room that the lighting will be used in is also an important consideration. Special lighting may be required in a room like a bathroom which has high humidity. Another place that may need specific lighting is a kitchen. If you are lighting a room where certain areas will be used for routine tasks, you should make sure your lighting system illuminates these well.
