1. Relying on Only One Light Source
The key to good lighting is layering it at different heights. Don't rely on only one kind of light source. Mix a variety of overhead and floor or table lamps.
2. Using Overhead Lighting That's Too Bright
We're in life, not on stage. We recommend using dimmers and soft white bulbs in every room, including bathrooms.
3. Not Thinking About Wattage
It's nice to have options — if you don't have dimmers, then have some variety from 40 to 100 watts, so you can change the mood for the occasion. The best lighting is at eye level, not overhead, which creates shadows. And the best light is diffused light from a white or off-white lampshade.
4. Going Overboard With Recessed Lighting
Use Recessed Lighting sparingly. Too many fixtures turn your ceiling into Swiss cheese! And be mindful of where you place that kind of lighting. Limit overhead can lighting to functional areas such as bathrooms and laundry rooms — the light is too harsh and flat for your living areas.
5. Forgetting About Dimmers
Lighting is everything. It creates atmosphere, drama, and intrigue in a room. The easiest way to accomplish this is with a dimmer switch.
