Things To Consider When Purchasing Ceiling Lights
While there are certainly an endless amount of possibilities when it comes to ceiling lighting, breaking down your thought process into the three areas listed below can help you narrow down your selection and find the perfect fixtures.
Space
Simply put, not every fixture is the right size for a given space. No matter how beautiful the light may be or how well it matches the rest of the decor, it’s simply going to look awkward if it’s over or undersized.
Take measurements of your room. Consider length, width, height, and the distance from the ceiling to any surfaces beneath them. If you aren’t sure what to do with these measurements, bringing them to one of our lighting experts is a great place to start.
Purpose
When it comes to lighting, illumination always comes first. Think practically about what sort of purpose your lights will serve. Are there areas of your home or office that are too dark to adequately complete tasks? Are there spaces that seem dreary that could use brightening up?
Jot some of your lighting needs down and keep them in the forefront of your mind as you’re shopping for fixtures. Feel free to bring them up to your lighting consultant as they may have ideas you’ve never considered before.
Design
While having adequate lighting is always the first priority, that doesn’t mean your fixtures can’t be a unique reflection of your design preferences and peculiarities.
When selecting new lights, have fun with the process! Whether you choose to strictly follow a theme throughout your home or vary it up by room, trust your gut and choose a fixture that appeals to you.
