Unique Lighting Ideas That Add the Wow Factor
Unique lighting is an integral part of any room, but many homeowners do not place much importance on selecting a light fixture that adds that wow factor to the space. Lighting can actually become the focal point of the room if used the right way. There are so many options to choose from, but first you must assess the room — what will the room will be used for? What kind of lighting will work best for this room —task lighting, ambiance lighting, or accent lighting?
Use this formula to determine the perfect amount of lighting needed for your room. Room length X Room width x 1.5 = Amount of wattage to light a room. If your room is 10 x 12, you would multiply 10 x 12 x 1.5 = 180 Watts. You can divide the 180 watts amongst lamps, ceiling lighting, wall sconces, etc.
