    How to Pick the Perfect Lamp for Every Room

    Published: Jan 5, 2018 · Modified: Mar 12, 2018 by Jennifer · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    The Importance Of Lighting

    The lighting in your home greatly affects its atmosphere. It has a greater impact than paint, art, or furniture, as it illuminates all these things. The standard lighting fixtures in most homes are drab and boring. They can make your house feel more like a prison or rat's cage than a warm and welcoming home. Of course, there is no single correct way to light your home. Most everything about interior design is subjective. But, there are some good rules of thumb to take into account when choosing your lamps and lighting, which we'll cover in this article.

    Children's Rooms

    No matter your child's age, whether they're a new born or getting ready to leave the nest, children and young people usually appreciate novelty. The best lamps to choose for a child's room are generally playful wall lamps. Your son or daughter will appreciate having a lamp that lends personality to their room, and you'll appreciate having a mounted lamp that they won't break or knock over when playing. Wall lamps are a win-win solution to the issues that can arise in lighting a child's room. Additionally, you should light their room in as warm and welcoming a manner as you can. It is important for a child to have a secure and comforting place  to retreat to during the trials and changes of adolescence.

    The Living Room

    Besides the bedroom, it is the living room that will grant you the most freedom of expression when it comes to lighting choices. There are a great variety of good options when it comes to lighting your living room, and much depends upon how its decorated. If your walls are bright and energetic colors, choose bright and energetic lighting. If your furniture is sleek and contemporary, once again, go for the contemporary option. But, if your walls are subtle and relaxing colors, or your furniture consists of dark wood desks and chairs, choose more subtle and dim lighting. Regardless, pendant lamps are the best choice for living rooms. They won't get knocked over, and they'll illuminate the room clearly and evenly. Brokis brand lamps are a great choice, and they offer a large variety of styles.

    Accent Lighting

    Of course, you don't want your rooms to be too evenly lit . Without shadows, shades, and accents, your rooms risk looking boring. You want to have some lights that will strongly light certain areas more than others, so that you can create a stronger design. Its best for these lights to be portable, and statement floor lights are a great option. Use them to better illuminate certain areas, like desks or bookshelves, and you'll be well on your way to having a gorgeously lit home.
