Ideas to Upgrade to Modern Lighting

Have you been looking for ways to refresh your living space, but aren’t ready to commit to a full-scale renovation? Then consider investing in a lighting upgrade. New lighting systems are a fast, effective and affordable way to instantly revamp your décor, while also increasing your property value and energy efficiency. At Mr. Electric, we provide high quality commercial and residential electrical services for property owners in Katy and Houston, Texas area neighborhoods. Are you ready to update your lights, but aren’t sure which options are best for your needs? Here are some of the most popular styles for modern homeowners.  

Layered Lights

Create a multilayered lighting effect by choosing a variety of lighting styles in well placed areas. Provide overhead lighting with recessed lights or pendant lighting, as well as accent lights that showcase specific features of your home such as artwork, indoor plants or architectural details. This will give more depth and dimension while opening up the space and showcasing areas of your décor that may otherwise be overlooked. 

Lamps for Reading

Reading lamps are a great way to update your look while also adding a practical component to your lighting system. Today’s modern marketplace offers an incredible array of styles and designs to suit any preference, from traditional to artistically funky or sleek and sophisticated. While table lamps are great for reading or handwork at night, they can also be used to highlight a house plant, decorative figurine or other item of interest. 

Toe Kick Lighting 

Another popular lighting technique on the rise is toe kick lighting. These lights are designed to illuminate the floor, which can be particularly helpful in hallways, bathrooms and kitchens, where people are more apt to walk around at night. Toe kick lighting will provide the perfect amount of subtle light without overwhelming the space. It can also help to balance out the light from above, creating an overall appealing visual effect any time of day. 

Dimmer Switches 

If you truly want control over the mood of your space, then dimmer switches are an absolute necessity. If the kids are doing homework and you are preparing an elaborate meal, leave the lights bright. Then, turn the lights down low for a soft and relaxing dinner or an evening of entertainment. In the past, it was difficult to find dimmer switches that were compatible with LEDs, but now the marketplace offers affordable and energy efficient dimming systems that offer advanced features like smart controls or color changing bulbs.
