Indoor lighting can make a huge difference to your home décor, but with so many types available, how do you choose?
In this blog we’ll outline some indoor lighting do’s and don’ts to make your lighting upgrade easier on the wallet and more enjoyable!
Do:
Do establish your aesthetic. How you do this is completely up to you. Maybe you have some bold colours which run through your home or maybe you’re a neutral lover. Whatever décor style you prefer make sure your lighting choice complements this.
Do:
Do consider energy efficient options. LEDs are widely available today meaning you don’t have to sacrifice on design for optimal efficiency. LED bulbs on average use 85% less energy and replacing every bulb in your Aylesbury home will save you hundreds!
Do:
Do choose a qualified and experienced lighting electrician. Choosing a well-established lighting electrician to supply and install your new lights will work in your favour. A good electrician will only install high quality lighting with a several year warranty. Working with a reputable lighting electrician will also make the process easier and hassle free. As soon as they’ve stepped through your door and seen your décor style, they’ll know what’s likely to work and look good in your Aylesbury home.

Don’t:
Don’t attempt any complex replacements or fittings if you don’t feel confident doing so. Replacing a light fitting can be done by an untrained professional however the risk of mistake is high. If you wish to replace multiple lights or upgrade to LEDs, hiring an electrician will be much quicker and safer.
Don’t:
Don’t cut corners when it comes to quality. If you’re supplying your own lights avoid choosing these based on price. The cheapest option is often going to be the less efficient and will probably need replacing much quicker than those of higher quality.
Don’t:
Don’t just use one type of lighting. Using one type of lighting throughout the whole home will result in a very basic affect. Incorporating a mixture of lights will appear as though more thought has been involved resulting in a well-lit, inviting atmosphere.
Don’t:
Don’t forget dimmers! Dimmers are a great way to control the level of your lighting. Dimmers are a great addition to any room to help you control your level of lighting and adjust it accordingly for each time of day.
