18. Design Mistake: Choosing The Wrong Lighting For Each Room
Lighting is considered to be one of the most critical parts of a space. It can make or break a mood, make it easier for you to see, and generally make each room look more attractive than it would without the lighting. Nevertheless, you can go too far on lightbulbs and end up making a room look too bright, resulting in everything appearing too harsh and blanched out. The best thing you can do is go for warmer lights for rooms with earthy tones and whiter lights for rooms with metallic color schemes. That way, you don’t make these home design mistakes, like choosing the wrong lighting.
It’s also important to keep in mind how much light you have in a room for different times of the day. You should have at least three lighting sources that include ambient lighting as well as task lighting so that you can see what you’re doing. Try a few dimmable LEDs to have the right amount of light for different times of the day. LEDs are also just more cost-effective and safer for the environment as a whole.
