Lighting Buying Guide
It can be quite confusing deciding what type and style of light fixtures and fittings to buy for your home or outdoor space that reflects your lifestyle and preferences. When it comes to lighting, few of us pay attention to details, whereas a thoughtful approach can help you bring to life your very own home in ways that add drama and ambience to any space just the way you imagine; right out of the home décor books.
Start with a realistic list of the lighting fixtures you need for each section of your home or outdoor space. With lighting, you need to consider beyond the trend, as you would not want to buy a fashionable lamp only to change it next. Split the areas you want to work on – indoor and outdoor, and have a list of the rooms that you want to work on, for example:
- Interior lighting: Living room, Bathroom, Study room, Bed rooms
- Outdoor Lighting: Patio, Driveway, Garden
Before you decide how much you want to spend on your lighting, it is a good idea to write a plan of what you want to achieve with your lighting and how many units you will need. A good lighting plan will include the following requirements:
- What/which areas to highlight and illuminate
- Improve on poorly lit areas
- Give a room or space the desired ambiance
- Provide safety and security
Once you have your list, you are then able to set prioritise and decide which is urgent and needs to be done first and work your way from there. You can decide to do everything in one go, or do it in stages, choosing to do one section at a time, and the beauty of a plan is you can adjust it as you go along.
