Light Up Your Life: 5 Things to Consider When Choosing Light Fixtures for Your Home

Light fixtures can play a big role in the overall look and feel of a room, so it's important to choose ones that suit your style and needs. Here are a few things to consider when choosing light fixtures for your home:

  1. Functionality: The most important thing to consider when choosing light fixtures is how they will function in the space. Will they be used for general lighting, task lighting, or accent lighting? Do you need dimmer switches or motion sensors? Consider these when selecting and planing install!

  2. Style: Light fixtures come in a wide variety of styles, from traditional to modern to industrial, the list goes on. Choose fixtures that make you happy and flow with the overall style of the room/home.

  3. Size: It's important to choose light fixtures that are the right size for the space. A fixture that is too small may get lost in the room, while a fixture that is too large may overpower the space. Measure the space and take note of the ceiling height to ensure you choose the right size fixture.

  4. Finish: The finish of your light fixtures can also impact the look and feel of the room. Consider the other finishes in the space, such as hardware, faucets, and appliances.

  5. Bulb capability: First check what kind of bulbs it takes and then decide on the style, colour and type.
