All Overhead, All the Time:
Unless you’re going for the “department store fitting room” vibe. Mix it up with some lamps, for Pete’s sake.
Ignoring Natural Light:
Those windows aren’t just for creepily watching your neighbors. Use them!
Mismatched Color Temperatures:
Mixing warm and cool lights in the same space is like wearing plaids and stripes. It’s a bold choice, and not in a good way.
Over-relying on Recessed Lights:
Your ceiling is not a connect-the-dots puzzle. A grid of recessed lights does not a well-lit room make.
Forgetting About Switches:
Placing them in weird locations is a great way to ensure you’ll be fumbling in the dark like a clumsy cat burglar in your own home.
And there you have it, folks – a illuminating journey through the land of lumens and lux. From chandeliers that could double as modern art to smart bulbs smarter than some honor roll students, the world of home lighting is a bright, brilliant, and occasionally blinding place.
