Hello World! Welcome Friends! Ever since Thomas Edison introduced the first light bulb, people have been using light in the most creative ways in their homes. While lights still serve a functional purpose, they have come a long way since Edison’s filament-filled bulbs. You can creatively enhance your home using various lighting, such as Astro ceiling lights, both indoors and outdoors. And if you have to sell your house fast, updating and improving the artificial lighting is one way to attract interested buyers. Here are some ways to jazz up your decor with lights in and around your home.
Lighting Up Indoors
Are you looking for ways to improve your home lighting in a unique way? You will be happy to know that you don’t have to rely only on overhead lights or traditional incandescent bulbs to make your home glow. Instead, here are some creative alternatives.
Smart Lighting
If you love technology, you will love the many types of high-tech gizmos that are changing how you light your house. Instead of coming in and turning on your light at the flip of a switch, smart lighting lets control your lights with your phone whether you are home or not. So, if you want to deter potential thieves, you can set your lights to come on and go off at a specific time to make it seem that someone is at home.
Additionally, you can use these lights to set the perfect mood. And if you want a more interactive experience, you can link your smart lights to a voice assistant. No matter what way you choose to control your lighting, you can change the lights in your home to create a productive environment, a romantic one, or one that is great for a fun party.
Chandeliers
Many tend to think of chandeliers as lighting that only the rich and famous have in their homes. Or perhaps it is only something you’d find in magnificent castles and palaces of the old world. While historically, wealthier classes monopolized this type of lighting, elaborate and beautiful chandeliers are more affordable to the average homeowner nowadays. You can choose from many different styles, including sputnik, drum, candle-style, crystal, empire, and more. If you want to add a layer of creativity to your home lighting, chandeliers are one great way to do it.
Light as an Expression of Art
Another way to use light beyond its intended purpose of brightening a room is to use it artistically. One way to do this is to buy unique artistic lamps. You can also use decorative wall sconces to create a decorative focal point in your bedroom or living room. Finally, another way to use light artistically is to shine light upon artwork or on a wall to create an artsy pattern. The latter requires a high level of creative imagination. But at least you don’t have to worry about making a mess with the medium you use.
Lighting Up Outdoors
Indoor lighting is not the only way to creatively use light around your home. Here are some other ways to bring artificial light outdoors, especially if you plan to sell your home soon.
Solar Lighting
If you want to amp up your outdoors with artificial lighting, one way to do it is to incorporate solar lighting. The most common way is to add solar garden lights to your landscape, along your pathways and driveways. But there are also other forms of solar lighting you can use, including solar chandeliers, solar deck lighting, and exterior porch sconces. And the great thing about solar lighting is that you don’t have to worry about a higher electric bill because the sun powers these lights.
String Lighting
One final way to creatively use light outdoors, especially if you have a deck, is to incorporate string lighting. They can transform a dark and uninviting outdoor patio into the perfect place for outdoor activities and entertaining.
Changing the lighting in your home is one of the quickest ways to improve it. You’ll be surprised how better lighting can make your space look bigger. Whether indoors or outdoors, adding light can help improve the overall ambiance.
