How to Choose the Right Lighting for Your Luxury Custom Home

How to Choose the Right Lighting for Your Luxury Custom Home
Now that you’ve designed the luxury custom home you and your family have always dreamed of, it’s time to start thinking seriously about fixtures. And there is no more important fixture to prioritize than the lighting that goes throughout your house. The light fixtures in your home are not only beautiful pieces, but they, more than any other thing in your home, create the ambiance that is the backdrop to your family life.
So before you run off and pick the first light you see, consider these factors:

Appropriate Style
First and foremost your new lighting sources should coordinate with the style of your home. Whether your new luxury custom home is being built in the breezy and beachy style, the cozy country cottage style, or the chic and modern style, it’s important to carry your style of choice through to the light fixtures.

The Proper Scale
Be conscious of the size of your new home, including the ceiling heights, before you make a purchase. For instance, in a single story ranch style home with 10-foot ceilings, you’ll want to be careful not to buy a chandelier that is too large and takes up too much visual space. The reverse is true if your new home has huge vaulted ceilings, a small light fixture will look undersized and out of place.

Varied Light Sources
Rarely is there a room in your home that only requires one style of lighting. Most rooms transition from day to evening best with a combination of both ceiling lights (recessed, chandeliers, pendants, etc.) and lamps. By using multiple sources of light you can create a softer, cozier environment by turning off or dimming ceiling lights and turning on lamps.

While ceiling lights illuminate the upper portion of your room, most lampshades direct the light downward making the room feel more intimate. This is the perfect touch for nights alone or for your next gathering.

The Right Color Bulb
The world of lighting has gotten so sophisticated over the years. Where once you only had one choice in light bulbs, you can now choose between various shades of white or even choose bulbs that communicate with your phone via Bluetooth and can change to any color on the spectrum. Depending on which room you’re in you might want to consider different bulb options.

For instance, in your master bedroom, a soft white bulb creates the perfect relaxing feeling. However, when you’re in your home office or home gym, you may not want to feel quite so relaxed, in which case a brighter bulb may be perfect.

The lighting in your home is a powerful tool that can turn a bright and chaotic afternoon into a cozy and calm evening on the couch with your family. When choosing the right lighting for your home, make sure you’ve taken into account how you want your home to serve you and your family for years to come. If you’re still dreaming about right the luxury custom home for you, contact us today. And check out our portfolio for more home building and lighting inspiration.
