Upgrade to Modern Lighting

No matter how beautiful your home is, bad lighting can really dim the mood. Is your home’s lighting looking a little dated? Upgrade to modern lighting, your living space will be refreshed! Stay up to date with these 5 modern lighting upgrades for your home.

  1. Pendant Lights

Pendant lights are a dynamic (and typically affordable) accessory for your home. These lights are typically used in areas such as the dining room or kitchen where you are looking to add direct task lighting. But don’t let this fact limit your creativity! Pendant lights can be used in any part of your home if they are positioned correctly. There are several types of pendant lights, so do some research to find the designs that would work best for your space!

  1. Under Cabinet Lights

Brighten up your kitchen or living room in a flash with a little under cabinet lighting! These lights help to illuminate any work space and are fully functional – as well as stylish. Depending on your needs, or room layout, these lights are typically easy to install.

  1. Chandeliers

Chandeliers are back in vogue and can add a bit of opulence to your foyer or entryway. These iconic fixtures, which have been around for centuries, are ideal for high ceilings and large spaces. Modern Chandeliers come in a variety of classic and contemporary designs; tired, traditional, drum and rustic styles make it easy to find one that matches your home’s aesthetic.

  1. Recessed Lighting

Consider adding a sleek, modern touch to your home with recessed lighting. Recessed lighting adds subtle shading to a room, allowing you to balance and layer lighting throughout any room. Recessed fixtures are ideal for entertainment rooms, dining rooms and great rooms – any space that might benefit from subtle, indirect lighting. In modern homes, recessed lighting has become very popular.

  1. Lights that you control with devices – Smart Light Bulbs

Step out of the olden days and into the future! With smart light bulbs, you can now control your home’s lighting with the click of a button. By installing smart light bulbs, you can turn your light bulb on or off, dim the lighting in a space, or even illuminate your room in your favorite colors. Some designs even come with a Bluetooth speaker that will integrate the beat of a song with changing colors. These bulbs really give you the flexibility to set the mood. Many designs can be controlled via an app or with Siri or Alexa.

These lighting fixture and bulb options are you are sure to brighten up your home in a flash! When you upgrade to modern lighting, you won’t have to worry about installation with the experts at Custom Electrical Services! Call us at 515-669-3418 to schedule a technician today!
