While we all think about natural light in our homes, how often do you stop and consider the artificial lighting that we use every day? You can feel happier, more focused, and relaxed if you have the right lighting. Bad lighting can ruin a room, so it is important to do it right.
These are lighting suggestions for every room of your house.

The Perfect Sconces
Bedrooms should have soft, flattering lighting. A variety of lighting options are a good idea, including overhead, on the nightstand and a floor lamp. Behinddoorsdecor’s bedroom features wall sconces in an industrial style that are great for reading at night. A bedroom can be adorned with Edison bulbs that emit a warm glow.
Make a big impact
The living room is one of the most important rooms in your home, both in terms of lighting and attention. This space is best suited for layered lighting that allows you to adjust the mood with multiple intensities and levels.

The simple lighting of this little reading corner from cj.apartmentliving can transform any space. A directed floor light behind a wicker chair makes it easy to settle in with a good book. The perfect lamp will provide the right balance of form and function to elevate your decor and provide adequate lighting.
Industrial Lighting
You will need to use a variety of lighting options for adequate kitchen illumination. My_grey_place’s kitchen features recessed lighting and a hanging pendant lamp that is industrial-inspired above the breakfast bar. This provides the perfect task lighting.
Dining Room Lighting
The dining room should be filled with soft, natural light that creates the right atmosphere for entertaining. You won’t like a traditional chandelier if it is too formal for you. Modernly_you has a casual lamphade that will suit your needs. You want enough light to be able to socialize, but not too bright or harsh.
Playroom Lighting
Lighting should be fun and cheerful for a nursery or playroom. This little space by behinddoorsdecor features soft lights that create a fun atmosphere. While overhead lighting is necessary to brighten the room, you can experiment with the accessories lamps and lighting in the room.

Have you ever thought of a bathroom chandelier? This space from kiplinghouseinteriors features a glam overhead chandelier that not only makes an impact but also softens the lighting in the bathroom. To provide sufficient light without being too harsh, a bathroom should have overhead lighting as well as wall sconces surrounding the vanity.

The Perfect Nightstand Lamp
Layering lighting is key to a bedroom. The right nightstand lamp can make a space feel calm and peaceful. The bedroom in this awkward_peach design features a task light with an Edison bulb that can be used for reading. A lamp that directs light downward to the areas you need most is ideal for those who love reading in bed.
Entryway Lighting
Lighting your entryway is a must. You want it to be the first thing guests see when they enter your home. This is why you should choose a fixture that emits a lot of light. This modern fixture by neonindian8 is a great choice. It provides bright, multi-directional lighting for the entryway and makes a statement once guests enter your home.
Office Lighting
Multiple types of lighting are essential for a home office. This includes overhead lighting and task lighting. We love this home office from featherhillinteriors–not only does it offer lots of natural light, but the antique desk lamp is perfect for burning the midnight oil on the job.
