Having One Source of Light

We usually spend the vast majority of our time and effort while doing our home’s interior design, in choosing furniture pieces, having a décor to match with the trend and defiantly make the place appear spacious.

But have you done all this and your place seems to be telling you that you’re missing out on something which you can’t really put your hands on.

Your place might be lacking sources to light up the space properly. This is a mistake that might seem obvious and naïve. However, you’ll be astonished by the huge impact it has when its properly set.

While you’re still planning on how to light up your home, the most important point to notice is how much space you need to fill. Having one light source in a room might be practical but its never enough to equally brighten the entire room.

Here are 4 easy tips on how to resolve this:

TIP #1 Layer the lights
