Having the right lighting in the Philippines for your space is vital in achieving a comfortable home. Lighting that is too bright can hurt the eye, while too dark can affect the mood. Therefore, you must find the right balance in lighting with pendant lights in order to have the #HomeLightingGoals this 2022!

Finding the Right Lighting Piece

Whether you are building a home or refurbishing your space, lighting should also be on top of your list. Choosing the right light will help you in keeping your space comfortable and stylish. This process could be very tricky, though. Choosing the right chandelier, placing a pendant light and purchasing which table or floor lamp is also a tough job. Aside from the look and style, it must complement the overall design of your space.

We’ll give you some tips and show some suggestions on how you can effectively choose, mix and match your lighting fixtures. Let Home Cartel help you incorporate different styles without making your space look like a garage sale.

1. Choose the Focal Point of Your Space and Let the Rest Flow

Start by choosing the bigger things for your space, including your chandelier. For some places, chandeliers are the center of attraction. If you have a flashy and sparkly gold lighting chandelier, then you should have a complementary color scheme for your floor, table and wall lights.

2. Have a Common Thread

Another way to choose and pair fixtures is to look for a common aspect in your items and carry it through your choices. Just like what these lighting fixtures have in common.

5. Don’t Pick Your Lights Based On Style, Also Consider Functionality

Always consider the function of your lighting fixture. Start by defining how it will look and always remember that it must serve a purpose.
