The Importance of Lighting in Home Extension Design

As an experienced home extension company, Ace Home Extensions understands that lighting is a crucial aspect of any home extension design. It can make or break the ambiance of the space, affect the functionality of the room, and even impact your mood. In this article, we will explore the importance of lighting in home extension design and provide tips on how to achieve the perfect balance of light in your new space.


The Role of Lighting in Home Extension Design

Lighting can serve many purposes in a home extension design. Firstly, it can be used to create a specific mood or ambiance in the space. For example, dimmer lighting can create a relaxing and intimate atmosphere in a bedroom or living room, while brighter lighting can create a more energizing and productive atmosphere in a home office or kitchen.

Secondly, lighting can be used to highlight and accentuate specific features of the extension. For example, track lighting can be used to showcase artwork or a unique architectural feature, while accent lighting can be used to highlight specific areas of the room, such as a reading nook or a dining table.

Lastly, lighting plays a crucial role in the functionality of the space. Adequate lighting is essential for tasks such as cooking, reading, or working, and can also contribute to the safety of the room by reducing the risk of accidents.

Tips for Achieving the Perfect Balance of Light

Consider natural light: Before you even start thinking about artificial lighting, consider how much natural light the space will receive. This will affect how much additional lighting is needed and where it should be placed.

Layer your lighting: Instead of relying on one overhead light, consider layering your lighting by incorporating a variety of light sources, such as table lamps, floor lamps, and accent lighting.

Choose the right fixtures: When choosing light fixtures, consider the style and function of the space. For example, pendant lighting can add a modern touch to a kitchen or dining room, while sconces can add a touch of elegance to a bedroom or living room.

Use dimmer switches: Dimmer switches can be a great addition to any room as they allow you to adjust the lighting based on the time of day or desired mood.
