Are you the one who cares more about your room decoration? For all different room decorations, which part do you think is the most important? It might not always seem true, but lighting is one of the most important part of our room decoration, whether it is living room, bedroom, home office, kitchen or even bathroom. Decorative lights for different rooms can be different. Different lights are used for different decoration purposes. Here we would love to share some tips on home light decoration, especially the right use of lights in home decoration.

Most of us will choose an overhead light in different rooms, be they large or small, such as in the entryways or in the powder rooms. Overhead light is necessary, but it is not enough. It is recommended to add one more light source in the rooms. Try to use sconces which are attached to the wall instead of the ceiling installed at or near eye level or use a small table lamp. Try to use various lights in the rooms, such as task lighting, ambient lighting or accent lighting, for enough illumination and atmosphere.



Never ignore the importance of task lighting when we decorate our home with different lights. Task lighting is important in places which involve a lot of task or work, such as home office, kitchen or even bathroom. The task lights offer exceptional levels of bright light and the main function of such lights is bright enough.

Lights that can be used in bedroom may not be suitable for use in bathroom. The lights in the bathroom have to be proof to water or moisture and durable enough. Different from decorative lights in the bedroom which mainly aim at enhancing romantic atmosphere, bathroom lighting has to be of superior quality.

Now lights have different functions, and we have more choices available. When we decorate our homes, we have to make better combinations of different types of lights, such as floor lamps, table lights, overhead lighting fixtures, chandeliers, or various LED lights that take different creative looks. There is no need to use all of them in a single room, but we have at least use two different lights in every room.

When we use the lights, we had better add dimmers to the light, for instant atmosphere and for the lighting to be flattering. Use lampshade for table lamps and floor lamps.



Most of us may love to use chandeliers, but remember, we have to avoid using them in such places as bathrooms or bedrooms. We can use them in dining rooms or living rooms.



Try not to use lights that are too fluorescent or too yellow. If the lights are overly bright, use a dimmer. Try to view the lights as decorative accessories and make them look good when you turn them on.
