Bright Ideas: Choosing the Right Lighting for Your Home Renovation

When you consider a home upgrade, choosing the right lighting is a great factor that is often being underestimated.  At Axon Electrical, we want to support homeowners in transforming spaces with functional lighting that also enhances the comfort, style and value. 

Want to redesign your kitchen or your entire home? We're here to help how your lighting works, as brilliant as it looks. So spot-on this guide for you to consider in your home.

1. Begin with the Right Layers of Light

A well-lit home means having these three types of lighting:

• Ambient Lighting – Consider this as the foundational layer, which is the general lighting and includes the downlights and ceiling fixtures that provides overall illumination to your home.

• Task Lighting – When doing particular tasks, this serves as a focus light like pendant lights over the kitchen bench or vanity lights in the mirror.

• Accent Lighting – Having this will highlight the best features of your space such as the artwork or the architectural details of your home. This is also better for outdoor pathways.

  
  

We can give you advice on how to combine these lighting to perfectly fit your home layout and lifestyle.

2. Select Lighting appropriate for the Room’s Function

There’s a different lighting needs to every part of your home. So, plan ahead for these recommendations for your home renovation:

• Kitchen Lighting: Make sure to have task lighting in your kitchen. To enhance visibility and style, install under-cabinet LEDs, kitchen pendant lights, and bright downlights.

• Living Room Lighting: A layered ambient and accent lighting will make your space comfortable. For flexibility, you can also put in dimmable ceiling lights and floor lamps.

• Bathroom Lighting: ensure to have a clear, shadow-free lighting around your vanity. Use an IP-rated fittings for safe, waterproof bathroom lighting installation.

• Bedroom Lighting: To create a relaxing environment, choose a warm lighting that has a dimming effect. At Axon Electrical, we can install stylish and wall-mounted reading lights or hanging pendants to save space and enhance design.

• Lighting in Outdoor & Hallway: We offer you installation of outdoor lighting that will improve security and ambience, starting from motion sensors to decorative wall lights.

3. Understand Light Color and Efficiency

Color temperature influences the mood of the room and its purpose 

• Cool white (4000K–5000K) is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces.

• Warm white (2700K–3000K) fits well in bedrooms and living areas to bring a calm mood and atmosphere

  
  

Choose an energy-efficient LED lighting to lower your electricity costs and promote a more sustainable home.

4. Smart Lighting and Dimmers for Flexibility

We can install these for smart lighting

• Motion sensor lights for convenience and security 

• Smart lighting systems - with apps, voice control, and automation

• Dimmer switches to set the brightness for different moods or activities

  
  

To have smart lighting is not just for convenience but also improves home security and helps save energy.
