Steps to Design

Sweetheart table: Crystal chandelier centerpiece

  • Choose a chandelier that matches the decor of the room.
  • Install it in the middle of the room, at an appropriate height.
  • Dim the light setting for atmosphere and purpose.

Under-cabinet LED strip lights

  • Wordle Measure your cabinets to size the LED strips.
  • Attach the strips directly under the cabinets, fastened tightly.
  • Plug in the power, hide the wires, and you are set.

Hanging lights above the kitchen island

  • Select pendant lights that fit your kitchen theme.
  • Sure to hang them symmetrically over the island for perfect illumination.
  • You can adjust the height according to the brightness you need and the style you like.

Edison bulb fixtures

  • Opt for vintage-style Edison bulbs for an industrial or rustic feel.
  • Match with no frills, very industrial exposed fixtures for a plain, minimal look.
  • Hang the bulbs in bunches or with groups for extra impact.

Ambient floor lamps

  • Choose floor lamps featuring swiveling heads for focusing where you want light.
  • Place them in corners or by seating to create ambient lighting.
  • Use warm-hued bulbs to warm the space up.

Fairy lights in mason jars

  • Fill mason jars with fairy lights for an enchanted look.
  • Set the jars on shelves or tables.
  • Opt for battery-powered lights for safety and flexibility.

Dimmer switches for mood lighting.

  • Fit dimmer switches to keep control over the light levels.
  • Utilize dimmers in rooms that are also about the mood (living room, bedroom).
  • Set the brightness depending on the time of day and mood.

Track lighting for artwork

  • Install track lighting directed at the art around the ceiling.
  • “Turn the lights on to highlight a certain piece of view.”
  • Make sure the bulbs are bright but not so much that they overshadow the artwork.

Smart bulbs with app control

  • Install smart bulbs that work with the Me app.
  • Pair the bulbs to your Wi-Fi-enabled device and control the lighting from anywhere.
  • Personalize the color and brightness level for different activities.

Wall sconces that have flexible arms

  • Opt for wall sconces with adjustable arms for targeted lighting.
  • Sconces should hang at eye level to ensure optimal lighting.
  • “I use the arms to angle light, into a reading corner, for example.”
