Lighting fixtures are often referred to as the jewelry of the room. They add that extra WOW factor and interest to your space. It is important NOT to skimp when it comes to choosing your home lighting.

There are a wide variety of lighting styles, finishes, sizes, and shapes to choose from. It is important to make sure the look and feel of your space match the lighting you choose.

For example, if your home is modern you will want to choose lighting that works with this design style. A more traditional home will often have timeless light fixtures.

Home Lighting Tips

If you are like me and like to change things up after a while then decide on a budget and stick to it. Lighting fixtures can be quite costly so make sure you do your research before purchasing especially when shopping online.

If possible visit your local showroom to see the home lighting styles in person. Also, follow the sizing guidelines for the different fixtures you are sourcing.

Once you have an idea of the style and lighting you are after searching the internet for the best price. Many stores carry the same lighting and prices WILL vary so compare, compare, and compare some more.

If you do not have a local home lighting store nearby to see the fixtures in person then you MUST read ALL the REVIEWS you can find. The worst thing is placing an order and then the quality is not good and you have to return the lighting.

Returns and exchanges can be costly if there are shipping and restocking fees. They also can delay your timeline and your electrician/ contractor will NOT be happy about that.

Pro Tip: Check the lighting for damages ASAP and contact the company with any issues right away!

We can not stress enough the importance of checking your lighting for damages. It DOES and WILL happen so be prepared!

When it comes to lighting your space there are three types of lighting you will want to have.

Types of Modern Home Lighting Stores

Ambient Lighting

The living room design above features a Jonathan Adler chandelier and hi-hats. At the time of designing this space, the trend was to square off the room with can lights.

We have to be really mindful of the trends we follow. Years later you may end up regretting your design choices. This living room has a ridiculous amount of lighting. If I had it to do over I would have not put as many hi-hats.

All the lighting in this space is on a dimmer switch which was the BEST decision I made. That said let’s discuss this type of lighting.

Ambient Lighting is also referred to as “general” lighting. This lighting will light the entire room so your family and guests can move around safely at all times of the day. Without ambient lighting, the space would otherwise be dark.

Do not overdo it with ambient lighting or your ceiling will look like swiss cheese or the room will be hospital bright!

Pro Tip: Put your Ambient lighting on dimmer switches to control the brightness throughout the day.

Examples of this lighting are:

  • Chandeliers and other ceiling fixtures
  • Light kits on ceiling fans
  • Track lighting
  • Recessed ceiling lights
  • Torchieres
  • Wall sconces provide enough light to do more than spotlight an area

Task Lighting

Task Lighting is the second layer of home lighting. It is the lighting used to perform tasks such as reading, studying, cooking, applying makeup, etc. Task lighting may also include under-cabinet lighting for your kitchen or workspaces.

Task lighting fixtures include:

  • Table lamps
  • Desk lamps
  • Directed track or recessed lights
  • Vanity lights
  • Adjustable floor lamps
  • Swingarm lamps
  • Under counter lights
  • Pendant lights

Accent Lighting

Accent Lighting is the third layer of lighting in a space. It is often referred to as mood lighting because it sets the atmosphere of the space. It is also used to highlight architectural features and important objects.

Examples of accent lighting are:

  • Chandeliers with dimmer switches
  • Wall sconces
  • Lighting inside glass or wire door cabinets
  • Can lights and uplights
  • Picture lights
  • Candlelight
  • Directed track or recessed lights
  • Niche lighting
  • Light bridges on media furniture

Using multiple accent lights in your space will keep the eye moving around the room. They can also may the room appear larger. Laying all three of these types of lighting in a room will create the atmosphere and mood of your space.

These are all of our favorite resources that we love to shop for living room lighting, modern lighting, sconces, chandeliers, and more!

As you can see there is a lot to think about when choosing the lighting for your home. Make sure to research and do your homework. The payoff will be worth the effort!

I hope you have an amazing day full of Unicorns & Rainbows!
