Lighting is like jewelry for your home!
2022 is right around the corner, and lighting is becoming a focal point for home design, instead of just serving a functional purpose.
Our real estate experts at the Lake of the Ozarks know how impactful lighting can be to a space. Whether you’re buying or selling a home at the Lake of the Ozarks, it’s important to keep these lighting options in mind!
Ceilings often get lost in the mix when choosing your home décor. The trend of open floor plans has opened the door to use your ceiling to light up the room with chandeliers, pendant lights, and so much more!
Chandeliers:
There are so many shapes, colors, materials, and even bulbs to choose from. Bring your lighting to the forefront with different shapes and sizes from your table lamps to chandeliers – there are no rules to hold you back!
Kitchen islands can be found in most homes these days. Whether it’s a new build, or a kitchen remodel, the island becomes the focal point of this gathering space. Make a bold statement with either a linear chandelier that provides light from several bulbs or place varied pendant lights next to each other to create a uniform look.
Lamps:
Lamps no longer have to be boring. Whether it’s a table lamp for reading, or a floor lamp to light up a forgotten corner, feel free to be bold and creative with shapes, sizes, and colors. Let your lamps shine whether they are turned on or off! Don’t forget the shade … you can bring new life to an old lamp just by changing out the lampshade in a unique shape or color.
There are new trends in bedroom lighting as well. No longer do you need to have a lamp on your bedside table. Hang a small chandelier over your nightstand or install a wall sconce to clear up room on a small space that should be reserved for your clock, book, reading glasses, and any other accessories you need close at hand!
Bulbs:
There are over 50 different types of light bulbs – who knew! The most common of these bulbs are
- · Halogen
- · Incandescent
- · LED
- · CFL bulb
- · Fluorescent
Outdoor Lighting:
Think outside the house! Darkness shouldn’t stop you from enjoying your yard - the outside of your home deserves to be lit up as beautifully as the inside.
Solar Lights:
Light up your walkway with decorative solar lights – let nature provide the lighting source.
String Lights:
Whether you use fairy star, café, curtain, or even icicle lights, you can change, enhance, and create ambiance for your outdoor space!
Wall Lighting:
Wall sconces are a great way to showcase the outside of your home. These come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Lanterns can bring a retro look and feel to the outside of your home as well.
The possibilities for lighting your home are endless and can easily be changed or updated with the changing trends!
