Choosing lighting seems like it would be an easy task. After all, how many choices can there be, right? WRONG. The lighting industry offers a vast array of options for your home, from track lighting and chandeliers, to recessed canister lights and your typical ceiling fan light attachments. When you throw in bathroom lighting options, and desk lamps, bedroom lamps. floor lamps, etc. you realize just how many choices there are, and just how many lights are in your home. You might think that the decisions are over once you pick which lamps/lighting fixtures you want, but that’s actually only half of the equation. You also have to pick which type of bulb you’re going to put into your selected fixtures, and that is a choice that can come with consequences.

Different lighting can actually affect your mood, your productivity, your alertness, and even your sleep patterns. We are all familiar with keeping televisions and phones off at night because the harsh, blue light stimulates your brain and can hinder sleep. But, did you know that ALL lights give off various warm/cool hues and picking different lights for different spaces can give you optimum results in your home? For example, choosing soft, warm lights for children’s bedrooms is the best way to promote a peaceful, calming environment and help them wind down before bed in the evenings. Brighter, cooler lights on the other hand actually stimulate your brain and productivity, and can help you stay alert and focused through homework, desk work, or even your workout. So, you can see why professionals encourage you to think hard before choosing lights for different parts of your home.
