An important part of giving a room that certain “look” all goes into the types of ceiling lighting or lamps you use. Lighting ambiance is a very important aspect of design so you should do your research before buying any type of ceiling lighting.
Whether you’re updating or renovating your living room, dining room, bedroom or any other room in the house for that matter, make sure it fits your style and budget. The Internet is a great place to start, as there are endless options in lighting, more than ever before.
- Hanging pendants – one bulb used to add more light to specific areas as in a dining room table
- Chandeliers - ceiling-mounted fixture with two or more arms, often very ornate, containing dozens of lamps and complex arrays of glass shapes to scatter light in charming patterns
- Canopy – often has up to 4 light extensions, great for illuminating many areas as it has a wider spot light effect and often comes in shiny or brushed finishes
- Commercial/Florescent fixtures – more suited for larger areas like garages or warehouses as they are very bright and not decorative at all
- Flush and semi-flush mounts – usually dome shaped these come in a variety of styles, sizes, finishes and colors and are by far the most popular with home owners, great for bedrooms, kitchens, hallways and practically any room you’d like to light up
- Recessed pot lighting – a modern look where the lights are within the ceiling or wall making it blend into the area, focus is on the light itself not the fixture
- Track lighting – the most versatile of the bunch, where you have the flexibility of moving the light to many different areas, great for spot lighting artwork, reading areas and more
