DÉCOR lighting62and beautifulMotherly LOVE Issue 1BrightHOW TO ENHANCE EACH ROOM IN YOURHOME WITH GREAT LIGHTING CHOICES
The feel of a room changescompletely depending on how it’s lit.It’s easy to forget about lighting whenyou’re busy choosing furniture anddecorating, but it’s something thataffects every part of your home.Here’s some advice, both practicaland aesthetic, on how to light ahouse—room by room.Choosing a lightbulb is just asimportant as choosing a type oflighting. Be aware of the colourtemperature. A warm white willcreate a much more welcoming feelthan a cool white.HALLWAY• A table lamp near the front door cancreate a sense of warmth andwelcome when guests step intoyour home.• A string of fairy lights won’t beenough to light most rooms, butthey can add a whimsical feeling toa corridor!• When you’re going up or down aset of stairs, your main priority isseeing where your feet are going.A table lamp by the top of thestairs is fiddly to switch on andcan’t be switched off when you’vereached the bottom—but anoverhead light, controlled by awall switch at both the top andthe bottom of the stairs, is a lotmore practical.LIVING ROOM• Because the living room is forrelaxing and socialising, overheadlighting can feel a little glaring.• Table or floor lamps are often abetter fit for a living room.• Use different levels of brightnessfor different purposes—softerlamps for ambience and brighterspotlights for reading.• Try dimmable ceiling or wall lightsto add a cosy feel.KITCHEN• Stay practical when thinking aboutlighting in the kitchen.• Table lamps leave too manyshadows and may make it harder tosee what you’re cooking.• Ceiling lights are better for lightingup the whole room and offer themost practical choice.• Spotlights can be added under wallcabinets and extractor fans toilluminate work surfaces for addedcharacter and design.BEDROOM• When you’re going to sleep oryou’ve just woken up, you don’twant to drag yourself out of bedand over to a light switch by thedoor, so keep a lamp on yourbedside table.• Look for alarm clocks thatuse natural-style lights tomake waking up in the morningseasier. Illuminated clock-facesare also good if you want to checkthe time at night without puttingon a light.• Dimmable lights can be usefulin a bedroom, particularly whenyou’ve just woken up and youreyes aren’t prepared for fulllighting yet!Motherly LOVE Issue 1 63
