How to choose the 'Right Light' for each room in your home

The right lighting doesn’t just brighten a space — it transforms it. Thoughtfully chosen lighting can enhance a room’s ambience, set the mood, and even impact how you feel within your home.
While plenty of attention is often given to the style and placement of lighting fixtures, it’s just as important not to overlook the globe itself — the right choice can make all the difference.

The light globe you select directly affects both the functionality and atmosphere of your space, shaping the way you experience and enjoy each room.

Here’s what to consider when choosing the right light globe for your home:

Start by thinking about how each room is used and the main activities that take place there.
For areas where ambience is key, like the dining or living room, we recommend warm white globes with a brightness between 806 and 1100 lumens to create a cosy, inviting feel.
In contrast, spaces like the kitchen or bathroom — where brighter, task-focused lighting is needed — will benefit from cool white globes in the 1100 to 1500 lumens range.

Consider when you typically use each room.
Bedrooms, for example, are all about winding down in the evening. Exposure to cool, blue-toned light can disrupt your sleep cycle, so it's best to avoid cool white globes in bedrooms.
Instead, opt for warm, ambient lighting between 806 and 1100 lumens to create a calm, restful environment that's perfect for sleep.

Most rooms benefit from a combination of three key lighting types: ambient, task, and accent lighting.
Understanding how they work together can help you create a more comfortable and flexible environment.

General/Ambient Lighting:
Provides overall illumination to a room, offering a consistent, comfortable level of brightness throughout the space.

Task Lighting:
Focuses light where you need it most — for activities like reading, studying, or cooking. For example, a desk lamp adds targeted light to a home office, while general ceiling lights provide the broader illumination.

Accent Lighting:
Highlights a feature or area, such as artwork, architectural details, or entranceways, creating visual interest and a touch of drama.

While personal preference and lifestyle should always play a role, using these simple guidelines will help you confidently choose the right light globe for every room in your home — ensuring your lighting works as beautifully as your spaces do.
