Great lighting should be part of good decorating

14/04/2010

A new report has recommended that anyone looking to give their bedroom a face-lift should put new lighting first and foremost in their plans.

Shirley Nichol and Nancy Reinke of the Kane County Chronicle have said that although estate agents emphasise "location, location, location", experts in interior design instead extol the virtues of "lighting, lighting, lighting," which they say is "one of the most overlooked areas in the average home".

Even if one is only putting finishing touches to the area around one's mattress, the duo claimed that a proper lighting plan is crucial.

All three types of lighting should be incorporated in a well-designed room, taking in general, which lights up an entire space; task, where focus is drawn to a particular area through the use of bright lights; and accent, which puts decoration under the spotlight and can enhance the mood.

LED options are becoming the more popular of lighting options, as they are energy-saving and can therefore save people money, long term.
