Spruce Up Your Home For Spring With Specialty Lighting

Tired of the same dimly lit rooms in your home? Don’t have enough light to perform everyday tasks? Just want to add some flair and spice up your house a bit? All of these can be accomplished by adding specialty lighting to any area that can use a bit of sprucing. See below for some design inspiration:

Chandelier In The Kitchen

If you’re like most homeowners, you probably have a kitchen full of recessed lights and maybe an under-cabinet light or two if you’re lucky. It’s enough to you through your daily activities but that’s about it. Why not add additional fixtures like a modern chandelier? It will create a focal point and make a room where you spend the majority of your time a bit more inviting.

Basement Retreat

Have you transformed your basement into a man cave or a billiards room? Or is it just a cool place to get away when you need some relaxation? Old bar lights and lamps are out and LEDs are in! Choose from vibrant colors such as reds, blues and greens that will be sure to liven up this space.

Brighten Up The Bathroom

The bathroom requires adequate lighting because after all, this is where you do all of your grooming. Instead of central ceiling fixtures that cast shadows, opt for pendants on either side of the mirror. It will make your morning routine much easier and we all know how difficult getting ready in the morning can be.

For more specialty lighting ideas give Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay a call today. Our experts will help you choose the perfect solutions to brighten up any room of your home.

What Kind Of Lighting Do You Need For Your Home?

Does your home have all the lighting qualities you would like? Adding new lighting to your home can have a variety of benefits, but what kind of lighting do you actually need? Between direct and indirect lighting, safety and security lighting and decor lighting the choices are endless.

What Kind Of Lighting Do You Need?

• Direct lighting: Direct or task lighting focuses on work space and function.
• Indirect lighting: Indirect or ambient lighting enhances the feel of an area as well as the overall lighting of the space.
• Safety and security: Quality of lighting is essential in safety and security lighting placed along exterior walkways, sidewalks, and entries. Too dim and it will fail to ward off intruders, too bright and it will disturb neighbors and increase energy costs.
• Décor: Wall sconces, directional lighting, and more can create focus and highlight art, architectural, and botanical elements of your home.

Once you decide on the type of lighting you need, you can take it to the next level by incorporating landscape lighting design and outdoor soffit lighting. Impress your friends and family by controlling them wirelessly.

Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay covers complete landscape lighting design solutions for your home that can dramatically improve the beauty and security of your property. Similarly, outdoor soffit lighting provides an excellent opportunity for security and ambiance. You can make any of these options more energy efficient by controlling your lighting solutions with a small remote or smartphone.

Lighting To Transform Your Bathroom

With the right lighting in your bathroom and kitchen, a homeowner can change the way others view your home. Highlight your room's best features and provide optimum functionality with lighting services by Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay! We can help increase the value of your home! Are you looking to transform your space? Check out the following tips for improving your bathroom:

Cabinet Lighting: Add lights under the cabinets to highlight the colors in your countertops and cabinets. It can also be used to illuminate the walkway at night.

Mirror and Vanity Lighting: Good lighting above your mirrors reduce the amount of shadows in your bathroom giving the appearance of a larger room.

Ceiling Fixture: A ceiling light can add extra depth to a room, provide an extra element of sophistication, and make the room appear larger.

Shower: Having a light specifically for the shower is an especially useful feature for those who want to save energy or are trying not to wake your spouse early in the morning. A light over the shower prevents you from having to turn all of the bathroom lights on.

Bathtub: Like the shower light, a bathtub light will illuminate the area in use. Why not put a dimmer over the tub, creating a relaxing mood.

Canned Lighting: Don't have high ceilings? Canned lighting is a great option that can be placed in strategic parts of a room to create a more intimate ambiance or open space.

Toilet: Focused halogen or flood lights are great for over the toilet especially if the toilet is separated by a wall or door. This is also a great place for a dimmer to help those mid-night bathroom goers.

Accent lighting: Accent lighting will highlight any artwork or architecture that you would like to draw attention to.

Indirect lighting: Hidden lights add a soft and soothing touch to a room and are great additions to nooks and coves.
