Tip #1: Layer Your Lights
Combining different layers of lights helps you bring life to your room or add personality to your interior. It also adds versatility and flexibility. Layering your lights allows you to emphasize the different aspects of your space for different purposes.
Take note of the following lighting categories:
- Ambient Lighting - lights up a space in its entirety. Ambient lights provide general lighting for a space, as well as giving it a more refined glow.
- Task Lighting - lights used for a specific task such as reading, studying, cooking, applying makeup, etc. It gives more detail to objects and provides safe passage.
- Accent Lighting - lights that help accentuate features and add more visual interest to an area or object in your space.

You can add layers of light from a number of types of fixtures that can be used together or separately for a flexible space.
Tip #2: Add a wall Light.
Wall lights produce a unique lighting pattern; they also add a timeless look to any room in your home, especially when paired with antique furniture and décor. It provides a requisite amount of light without the need to light up the whole room, which results in less energy consumption.
Tip #3: Add a Lamp.
A lamp can create a massive difference in your space. Floor lamps help spread brighter light in a more diffused way, while table lamps bring light closer to your eyes.
Figure out how you are going to use your space. Is this corner for reading, is it for tv viewing, is it for board games with your family? Positioning your lighting fixtures correctly can lift your spirits and make you more relaxed and productive.
