Dramatic lighting can heighten the look of a space, adding architectural interest and an artistic sensibility. Many homeowners place light fixtures on the bottom of the priority list when they are planning a new home build or remodel. However, lighting is one of the most important elements of a room! Remember, once you turn the lights on, the fixture becomes a focal point. For new home builds, we recommend planning for 20% of your budget to go to lighting – a figure that is usually much higher than most builders set. Go beyond functionality when designing your lighting scheme. There are so many options when it comes to fixtures, it is easy to have some fun with them. Keeping scale, finish and overall design theme in mind, choose fixtures that will make a statement.
