As a homeowner, you are a lot of things to your home. You could also be a lighting designer as you get to dictate the functions and qualities of lighting that you would use. You also need to set your home\u2019s lighting goals and how you should go about in accomplishing them.<\/p>\n

Control the Colors <\/strong><\/p>\n

Colors are one of the fundamental things that you learned in school. Red, yellow and blue, when mixed in any way, could produce a totally new color; mix all the colors together and what you achieve is black. Lighting also has its own primary colors.<\/p>\n

The right lighting color could also enable you to perform your tasks more fully, make you feel more comfortable and safer and even allow you to enjoy your home\u2019s full potential. Every room, however, comes with unique and specific lighting needs which you need to consider.<\/p>\n

Light to Impress <\/strong><\/p>\n

When lighting your foyer, be sure to convey what the visitors would soon see in your home\u2019s interiors. The hallway should at least have a modern pendant light, a classic chandelier, or a transitional lighting fixture that\u2019s installed close to the ceiling.<\/p>\n

Light to Decorate <\/strong><\/p>\n

Not every foyer is able to accommodate a huge chandelier, though, so be sure to get the right proportions for your lighting needs. A bigger space, likewise, needs a larger lighting fixture. Second story viewing becomes a lot more interesting if you\u2019re going to look down on an interesting pendant or chandelier.<\/p>\n

General Lighting for High Traffic Areas <\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that halls and stairways need general lighting for safety reasons. A well-lit hallway will prevent accidents. Be sure to illuminate from top to bottom of the stairs and check that there are switches upstairs and downstairs.<\/p>\n

Lighting fixtures should be installed every 8-10 feet. Match the foyer chandelier to the hallway lighting fixtures. Foyer can be complemented with the right pair of wall sconces.<\/p>\n
