6 Quick Home Improvements For Any Budget

Comfort & Lighting

Let’s say you have a new addition that can get hot when closed off from the rest of the house. It also lacks natural light, since the room faces away from the sun. You lack the room for ductwork but installing a ductless HVAC unit can be expensive. You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for functionality!

At Connecticut Lighting Centers, we have a large inventory of energy-efficient ceiling fans with lights to fit any budget. If your room addition is exposed to the elements, we have dry and wet-rated options for safe and effective use.

Energy-Efficient Lighting

A quick upgrade that we recommend to all our customers is light-emitting diode bulbs. Making the switch to LED bulbs, homeowners can get about 25,000 hours of use versus a traditional incandescent bulb that burns out after about 1,500 hours. Less energy is consumed by LED bulbs, so you can keep landscape lighting on all night without worry about the cost! CT Lighting Centers offers a 5-year warranty on all high-quality LEDs.

New Window Shades

Traditional window coverings have become a thing of the past. The new trend is motorized window shades! If you want more control over the amount of light coming in through your windows at any time of day, motorized shades can be manipulated with the touch of a button. Raise or lower the shades via remote control from the couch!

We carry all styles, from traditional Venetian blinds to modern sheer shades. Connecticut Lighting Centers will even come to your home to measure and install your new automated window coverings.

Dimmer Switches

You may love the look of your current living spaces, but have a hard time finding the right level of ambience. When you don’t want to replace light fixtures, dimmer switches give homeowners more control over lighting levels. For instance, you can dim the lights before watching a movie in the living room or turn them all the way up when cooking in the kitchen. Find your happy medium in the rooms you love with compatible dimmer switches!

Door & Cabinet Hardware

Loose or defective cabinetry and doors can make a room look outdated but upgrading it all can be a big expense. Rather than replacing the cabinets and drawers themselves, think about the hardware. New drawer pulls, door knobs, cabinet pulls and door hinges can make a huge impact on the appearance of a living space. At Connecticut Lighting Centers, our inventory aligns with all styles and budgets.

New Lamp Shades

Do you have beautiful lamp bases but the shades are dusty, outdated or broken? At Connecticut Lighting Centers and our sister store, Restoration Lighting Gallery, we have thousands of custom lampshades on display that can be fitted to your favorite bases. Customers can also choose a unique lamp finial to replace ones that are faulty or missing. Your lamps will look brand new, without having to replace all fixtures!
