This summer, it’s time to upgrade your home lights. Try something new and look for something better than what you have. Check these lights and some tips from Home Cartel.
Tip No. 1: Know What Your Room Needs
Chandeliers and Pendant Lights are perfect for ambient or general lighting. Their ability to be suspended in different areas makes them great for this type of lighting function. They can also capture the soft curves of your face and give your space a romantic ambiance.

On the other hand, Floor Lamps and Table Lamps are good for task lighting. Task Lights are like the second layer of your home lighting. Since it gives your space an added luminance, it will be perfect near a couch or your reading nook.

Tip No. 2: Less Is More
You don’t need to overdo your lighting. Install lights that are useful and stylish enough for your kitchen and dining area.
You can combine white lighting and gold colors for a modern and fresh look. You can also mix clean lines and black accent colors if you wish to have an industrial-looking lighting space. Home Cartel offers various lighting fixtures that will fit any style that you want for your space. Just like these gold lighting fixtures!

Tip No.3: Consider the size of your space.
Knowing the size of your space is also essential in choosing the right lighting fixture. Having a tall floor lamp in a low ceiling can make your space look out of proportion while having a short lamp with a lot of overhead space can make your light standout but for the wrong reasons. Balance and proportion are the key!

You can also install some wall lamps to accentuate the spaces where your general lighting can’t reach it properly. Having a ceiling with white lighting around the corners can also improve the general ambiance of your room.
