Maximize Natural Light:

1. Did you know that you can maximize natural light by strategically placing mirrors or reflective objects near windows to bounce light into darker areas of the home?
2. Asking our clients to opt for minimal and neutral window treatments, such as window panels, is quite common. Yes, we even suggest not using any at all when possible.
3. Additionally, trimming any overgrown foliage outside windows will aide in maximum sunlight.

2. Mismatched bulbs can create a disjointed feel and detract from the overall aesthetic.
3. A warm soft hue adds a welcoming feeling. Consider transitoning to LED bulbs.

Layer Lighting:

1. Create depth and ambiance in each room by layering different types of lighting, such as overhead fixtures, task lighting, and accent lighting. Incorporate floor lamps, table lamps, or under-cabinet lighting to add warmth and functionality to specific areas.
2. Have fun and experiment with lighting placement and intensity to highlight architectural features or focal points effectively.
