Lighting in a home comes from two different sources. One is natural light, which is the light used during the day. This includes light from windows, glass walls, patio doors or from skylights in different rooms in the home.
The other option for lighting in Coral Gables homes is artificial lighting. Today, homeowners completing renovations, upgrades, or new home construction have a wide range of different designer lighting options to choose from to provide the look and the light required for each room. Each style and lighting type provides more or less light intensity and also adds to the look and ambiance of the room.
Understanding what is needed from the designer lighting will always be a key factor in choosing a fixture style and type. Choosing incorrectly may provide pockets or areas of too much or too little light, which will not develop a balanced look in the room.
Large Space Lighting Options
Larger spaces in a room need a larger type of lighting source. The other option is to provide multiple smaller light sources and layer the light to create areas of increased intensity or a more soft and subdued light in some areas of the room.
Chandeliers and flush or semi-flush mount ceiling designer lighting styles are a good choice for bigger spaces. The light will be brightest under and around the fixture, gradually softening to the outside areas of the room. This is where lamps, scones and pendant types of lights make the perfect addition.
Directional Lighting
To spotlight or focus light on a specific feature or area of the room, directional lights are a top option. Again, pendants, mini chandeliers, and recessed designer lighting options can also be used for spotlighting or adding a focus for the eye for an area of any room in a Coral Gables home.
