Light your home on style – Levels of Light

What sets the mood for your home?

This year’s decoration trends answer this question pretty well .. Lights!

Once you enter a house, you take a glance around and you notice its furniture, colors and floors but the thing that affects your impression most without even glancing at, is its decorative lighting.

Your lighting design is no longer randomly applied and the secret all lies in knowing what type and level of light to work with.

Each part of every room in your house needs a certain level of light to set the right mood for you and display your most valuable objects as well as aid you in performing your daily tasks. Let’s explore how:
