How to Prepare For Your Indoor Lighting Project
Start Your Next Project
Blueprints & Floor Plans
From your room plans, our lighting experts can create a lighting layout before construction begins. As mentioned, you do not want to do electrical work more than once, so our insights can be invaluable to keeping your project within budget.
Ceiling Heights & Room Dimensions
Gather the ceiling height and dimensions of each room, so we can determine the best size fixtures for every living space. A compact light – for instance, a flush mount – may get lost in a room with high cathedral ceilings while an oversized chandelier could make a room with low ceilings look small and crowded.
The same goes for room dimensions; you want to make sure the fixture is proportional to the size of the living space. Surface dimensions will also apply in rooms where fixtures will hang above a table.
Purpose of Each Space
While every room has a general purpose, you may use spaces in an unconventional way that requires specialized lighting. For instance, you may not use the kitchen much for cooking but you would like to have a well-lit area for the kids to do their homework. We may suggest a large LED fixture above the kitchen table in addition to the room’s general illumination.
Or you’re designing an entertainment room and want to show off your collection of movies. In this case, we may recommend under-cabinet lighting to save space and disperse lighting more evenly across your display.
Your Style & Decor Ideas
What are your style preferences? If you are trying to evoke a vintage feel in your living spaces, we have the perfect fixtures to match refurbished antique furniture and accessories. For those who prefer transitional style, which marries classic and modern designs, we have plenty of indoor fixtures to choose from. Our showrooms carry something for every taste!
When you have particular paint colors and hardware finishes in mind, these details go hand-in-hand with finding complementary lighting. We carry hundreds of brands and thousands of styles, so the better we can narrow down your selection, the easier your choice will be.
Our showroom experts are eager to help make your design vision a reality, but we need details to start the process. The more information you can provide, the better we can serve you. To find the perfect lighting fixtures for your new layout, visit our showroom in Hartford or Southington today!
