Pro Tip of The Week

Updating the lighting can have a major impact on the home’s interior design, without making a major dent in your wallet like with a complete home renovation.
You don’t have to completely renovate the spaces to give them a refreshed look. Light fixture makeovers are one of the simplest ways to make the space trendier and boost the overall style.
Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting, also known as canister lights, can light, or downlights, is an extremely versatile lighting choice for practically any room or area.
A popular choice for lighting updates due to their sleek look and ability for strategic lighting placement, recessed lighting not only looks great, but it can also provide more evenly dispersed lighting that can be positioned and directed for a combination of general, accent, and task lighting uses. Recessed lighting is a great choice for kitchens, especially above kitchen islands or sinks, bathrooms, rooms with low ceilings, and more.

Track Lighting
Featuring multiple lights affixed to a track, track lighting isn’t quite as subtle as recessed lighting, but it can offer many of the same benefits like positionable pendants and versatile uses such as general, accent, and task lighting. With many colors and styles to choose from, varying lengths, and more, hanging pendants can take your track lighting from outdated and clunky to sleek and stylish.

Pendant Lighting
In addition to hanging pendants on a track, independent pendant lights are also a great choice for a lighting remodel or refresh because of their versatility and aesthetics. If you have an existing pendant lighting fixture, consider replacing the pendant shade with a trendier option to give it a new look. From glass, metal, crystal, paper, and other materials in a variety of shapes including teardrop, globe, drum, and more, you can choose the unique style that matches the design of your space. If you’re adding new lighting or replacing a single overhead light, go for an odd number of pendant lights to create an eye-catching lighting layout.

Chandelier Lighting
Another popular lighting choice for home updates and remodels is chandelier lighting. Oftentimes when people think of chandeliers they picture large fixtures, dripping in crystals, over the table in a formal dining room – but there are so many different types and uses for chandelier lighting. From the entryway to the living room, chandelier lighting provides an eye-catching focal point that adds style that’s instantly noticed by potential buyers.

Rooms that Need Lighting Updates
Many homes remodels are centered around the main areas of a home that guests see. While rooms like living rooms and kitchens are important, make sure not to overlook the other spaces. Replacing fixtures in the bathroom, bedroom, entryway, outdoors and more can have a great impact on the design instantly giving it a more updated look
