Home Lighting ? The Experts answered,
"In selecting lighting we take into consideration the following criteria: purpose, amount of light, quality of light, type of fixture, and if it is a decorative fixture. We apply these criteria to all of the projects that we do because the goal is to provide visual comfort to the spaces."
Marilyn Sygrove
✅ 1-Measure Your Space
"A 36 wide light fixture would be ideal for an 20 by 15 foot room." That said, the decision process doesn't stop after putting away the tape measurer. "One also needs to consider the visual weight of the fixture," Ceglia added. "If it's light and airy, it may be better to size up, dark and massive, sizing down might be a better option. " Marilyn Sygrove
✅ 2-Incorporate a Variety of Levels of Lighting
"It's very important when designing a room that you consider having different levels of lighting, This means incorporating lamps, overhead fixtures, and perhaps even dimmers within one singular space. These levels of lighting are important because it eliminates dark areas in the room, and the different levels create a cozy, warm feel as opposed to being harsh" Liles Dunnigan, co-founder and designer at The Warehouse Interiors
✅ 3- Multiple Roles A Room Serves
" When you want a romantic dinner versus dining with kids, the lighting should be adaptable, Many people don’t have formal dining rooms and want the flexibility of a kitchen counter" Designer Billy Ceglia
✅ 4- Remember That Sometimes, Less Is More
"When in doubt, leave it out. Sometimes the surprise of not having a fixture in an expected location like over a dining table can be just the right decision to create maximum drama in a space." Designer Billy Ceglia
