Natural Lighting

It is important to have as much natural light as possible in your home. Natural light and large windows also have the effect of “bringing the outdoors in”, this makes your space look a lot bigger than it is and there are even some health benefits to natural light, such as improving your mood and promotes better mental clarity to help you focus. Natural light reduces energy bills and contributes to a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting, also referred to as general lighting, is arguably the most essential lighting that you can have in your home. General lighting is what illuminates a room to create a seamless lighting solution, and also the primary source of artificial light. This can include fixed ceiling lights, LED lights and floor lamps. Ambient light should be both functional and stylish – Choosing a lamp shade that matches your décor can make all the difference.
