TYPES OF LIGHT SOURCES<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our Interior Design partners over at Lori Dennis<\/a> always tell us “Lighting is the Jewelry of the Home.”\u00a0 It’s amazing how a few thoughtfully selected light fixtures can completely transform a room.\u00a0 When working with your designer, select lighting that closely matches the architecture of the home, just as much as your own personal preference.\u00a0 Add special lighting to any ceiling in the room, like the Living Room, Dining Room, Bedroom or over a Kitchen Island.\u00a0 Bring attention to art or add more mood lighting to a hallway or small reading nook.

LIGHT BULBS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Light Bulbs come in all shapes, sizes and colors and are specific to the type of fixture being used.\u00a0 You may be most familiar with standard bulbs and candelabra bulbs.\u00a0 But there are so many more fun shapes and styles available now, like both small and large globe, tubular and LED Edison filament to give that moody vintage glow.\u00a0 If you feel your eyes crossing when looking for a light bulb, remember this: warm color bulbs are softer with a slightly cream undertone, while cooler bulbs mimic direct light from the mid-day sun and run a little blue.\u00a0 Above all else, make sure to install a dimmer switch on all light fixtures.\u00a0 This will help you transition from day time into evening, and cue your circadian rhythm for sleep.<\/p>\n
