Although we all enjoy stepping into a room that has a comforting glow that instantly makes you feel more relaxed, many people have never really thought about how that glow is achieved. When it comes to choosing lighting for the different areas of your home it can feel quite overwhelming, particularly as most of the decisions need to be made while your home is in the construction stage.
By speaking to the experts at Max Power you can eliminate the guesswork and nail down the specifics with a professional approach.
Get in touch today to talk about how you can light your home in ways that are energy efficient but don’t cut corners on style or ambience.
WHAT KIND OF LIGHTS WILL WORK IN MY LIVING ROOM?
Different rooms in your home will require a completely different approach when it comes to your lighting, that’s why it pays to speak to a residential electrician. Auckland homes are blessed with lots of hours of daylight, and a warm light scheme can comfortably move you from day to night in your living room. If you are building new it’s a great idea to book your electrician well in advance.
Creating a lighting plan for your main living space may involve creating a layering effect. This means you would choose a mixture of lamps, pendant lights and downlights. There are ways to use light in your living space to offset a darker floor covering, outdated drapes, or create zones within a larger space.
The height you hand pendants is important and the shades you choose have quite a lot to do with how the light is directed, for instance, to get the most out of your pendant bulb you may opt for a larger industrial style shade over your dining table with an interior in a lighter shade.
If you are going to focus on lamp lighting in your living space be sure to think about where you want power points installed, what effect the placement of your lamps will have on your floor space and where best you might place screens so they don’t suffer glare.
Whatever your vision is for the lighting in your living room forethought and planning are essential, so call the residential electrician Auckland trusts while your new build or renovation is in the planning stages.
WHAT LIGHTING SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY KITCHEN?
Kitchens are what we call a ‘task’ area. When it comes to food preparation and service you need strong direct light to ensure safety with sharp knives and appliances, and you need to be certain you are working hygienically.
Downlights are great in the kitchen and your residential electrician Auckland experts at Max Power also recommend strip lights for style and as an option for late-night snacks and extra light when you need it.
You could choose to utilise track lighting in your kitchen space, this is useful when you want to make sure your cooler kitchen lighting scheme doesn’t spill over into open plan entertaining areas. Using lights that can be angled in different directions can make or break the overflow from one area to another in your home.
WHAT LIGHTING WORKS BEST IN A BATHROOM?
The bathroom is often the first room we visit in the morning and getting the lighting right here can help you start the day comfortable and feeling positive! While it’s necessary to ensure you can see those corners for cleaning, or work those tweezers in the mirror, brighter is not always better here.
Dimmers work beautifully in the bathroom to create a relaxing space for a bath or to take the edge off a sleepless night and ease you into the day. Your vanity light should diffuse light, creating a reflective ambience that works to soften the focus on your face.
Whatever your wishlist for your bathroom it’s essential to discuss things well in advance with the residential electrician Auckland trusts.
BEDROOMS AND LIGHTING
Working out where you want a bedside lamp, whether a dimmer is necessary or choosing to install a reading light are all part of your bedroom lighting options.
There are some great night light options for kid’s rooms and hallways between bathrooms and bedrooms. You can get quite creative with bedroom lighting and there are all sorts of innovations on the market for automation that will ensure you can stay tucked up when you want to switch off for the night.
Get in touch with Max Power to discuss how your residential electrician Auckland experts can help you get the lighting you love for your new build, renovation, or just to switch it up in an existing room.
