Creating the most modern home will involve using modern lighting solutions. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to turn your walls and ceilings into the Tate Modern and use spotlights that look like jellyfish and task lighting that seems to have been created by means of origami.
Instead, modern lighting solutions can be very much focussed on creating the right levels of light in a modern way as opposed to the fixtures themselves having to look ultra modern. Sleek, attractive fittings will of course be a must, but don’t feel like you have to try to use lights that are the equivalent of modern art.
The first thing to remember is just how important light is. The light itself is actually far more important than the fittings and as such you should buy your fittings based on the effect that they will create, not based on how the fittings themselves actually look. As with many things in the modern decoration toolkit, less will be more, but by using less, you may well need more. This may seem paradoxical, but instead it simply means that each fixture should produce less light, but that you may well need more fixtures to achieve the effects you desire and to have the flexibility to adapt to every scenario.
Instead of using single overhead lights, it is often best to utilise numerous spotlights within the home. However, when planning modern lighting, you will need to ensure that you get specific for each and every room.
For instance, before you choose your light fittings, you need to know not only which areas of a room need to be emphasised, but also how much natural light a room receives. In the kitchen, clean, bright light over worktops is a must whilst, when it comes to bathroom lights, you are likely to want to have task lighting to help you stay safe in the bath, whilst also utilising accent lighting to help you create the most relaxed environment possible.
Accent lighting is the most important form of modern lighting. It does very little in terms of practicality and is merely an addition to your other lighting solutions. However, what it does do is help create a far more attractive home by accenting specific areas and giving greater flexibility. Whether it is used to highlight an attractive ornament or simply to make the living room more cosy when you want an intimate night in, accent lighting will not only make the home look more modern and attractive, but it will also help the house feel far nicer too.
When it comes to bathroom lights, be sure to have multiple options. For example, mirror lights can work on two levels, being very focussed task lighting for grooming, but also allowing you to simultaneously only have limited light when you truly want to relax.
In the hall, make sure you opt for larger fittings, but ones which offer soft and warm lighting to make the reception area welcoming. In the bedroom, wall lighting and bedside lamps are a must whilst the dining room will need a mixture of overhead lighting and wall lighting to help you dine effectively and luxuriously.
