You can give your house a makeover without renovating whole rooms. Simply updating your
light fixtures can transform the look and functionality of your home, without the cost of an entire
renovation. Let’s touch on a few ways you can update your light fixtures.
It is possible to update your lighting without buying new fixtures. Spray paint can be your ally. If
you have lighting with an outdated brass finish, you can take those down and spray paint them
black. Either a glossy black or a matte finish black for a more modern look. If your fixtures have
fabric bulb shades or glass globes, you might try switching them out for new shades or globes
for a newer look. Some chandeliers look great without shades or globes, leaving the light bulb
exposed. This often streamlines your look.
An obvious way to update your light fixtures is to buy brand new light fixtures. Be sure to keep it
in line with your style of decorating. This route brings something new and fresh into your home,
while not putting too big a dent in your wallet.
Recessed lighting is a beautiful way to update your lighting. They create a sleek look and can
be used in just about any room. In the kitchen, recessed lighting is perfect for lighting up your
work spaces. In other rooms, you may like it as accent lighting, highlighting art or unique
architecture in your home.
Lighting is important to a room. It sets a tone and a mood. In the quest to update and upgrade
your house, lighting might not be the first on your list. However, updating your light fixtures
makes a big impact in giving your home that updated, refreshed look. We hope these few tips
will assist you in your updating goals.
