Little changes, big difference: lighting
Abeer
Why one ceiling light is never enough, and how to layer light in any room.
Lighting is the cheapest way to change how a room feels.
Use three layers
General light from the ceiling, task light where you read or cook, and soft accent light on shelves or art.
Choose the right bulbs
Warm white bulbs make living rooms and bedrooms cosy; save cooler light for kitchens and desks.
Add dimmers
A dimmer lets one room work for a busy morning and a quiet evening.
