The second prize in our 2016 #12DaysofSheSpeaks giveaways will light up your life... or maybe your home. Our giveaway is for two (2) $250 shopping sprees to LampsPlus.com, one for you and one for a friend!
If you’re looking for great holiday gifts for friends - or yourself! - look no further for fun lava lamps, floor lamps, desk lamps and chandeliers. Lamps Plus even has non-lighting home decor items such as mirrors, bar carts, wall art, fire pits, area rugs and furniture.
How confident do you feel when choosing the lighting fixtures for your home? A nationwide 2016 Home Lighting Survey of 1,025 persons conducted by Lamps Plus recently found that 81% percent of respondents feel either confident or very confident about choosing the overall lighting for a room. But it isn't always easy.
Define what the room is used for.
Is it for work? Is it for living? Is it for cooking? Is it for getting dressed?
Will your light fixture be used as a focal point?
Do you want people to notice your light fixture or do you want it to blend in?
What color temperature will you be using?
Consider how would you want people to feel in the area.
Should they be relaxed? Should they be focused? Both?
Consider natural sun light that shines into your space.
Windows can provide a lot of light already. How will you accent the natural light?
Consider using multiple light sources for one space to create the right amount of light (lumens) for each purpose the room/area is used for. Light that is layered from the top down creates a professional look and completes a space.
Lamps Plus is a great place to start for your lighting needs. It’s the nation’s largest lighting retailer, and 2016 marks the company’s 40th anniversary of providing customers a leading combination of selection, service and value.
