When not visiting the Gallo Center for the Arts or having fun at John Thurman Field, your Modesto, CA home really is your castle. Well-thought-out lighting choices make your home even more adaptable and satisfying for everyone in your family.
Use Varied Lighting
One of the best things about lighting in the modern world is that there are so many choices. Now is the time to take advantage of the kind of diverse array of options you’ll find on the market. Use different kinds of lighting in all areas of your Modesto, CA home to make it easier to enjoy the inviting climate. Pick from choices like uplights, track lighting, or large freestanding lamps. Each one has a role to play in making sure your house is easy to use any time of the year.
Bring in Dimmers
Your lighting needs change as the day goes on. That’s why you need to have a way to respond to such changing needs 24/7. Dimmers allow you to choose the level of lighting you like best. At The Electric Company, we’ll help you make sure your lighting is properly installed. This way, you have brighter light when you need to do things like cooking a great Sunday brunch and dimmer lighting when you want to set a romantic and cozy mood.
The Right Place
Placing lighting in your home needs a lot of careful thought. You’ll want to make sure that all of the lights are where you need them most. This applies indoors and outdoors. The rooms in your home function best when they have at least one or more focal points. For example, if you have a mantlepiece in your dining room, you might want to place your favorite picture on top of it. Use a lighting set at the top of it to show off the picture well. Lighting should also be used in order to show off the most beautiful items in your home. Lighting set against custom moldings and lovely plantings outside brings attention to the care you’ve taken to carve out a space of your own.
Each Room Is Different
Most rooms have different functions, and you need lighting to match. A series of lights hung above the stove and your kitchen countertops make it easy to prepare for any dinner party. Recessed lighting underneath your kitchen cabinets also makes it easy to see what you have on hand before heading to the Vintage Faire Mall. Place table lamps on each side of your bed so you can see what you’re doing even late at night.
A well-lit home is a far more functional home. If you need of help with lighting issues in Modesto, CA, contact us at The Electric Company today.
