Lightings Tips for Your Forever Home

Lighting is an important aspect of your forever home, so make sure to carefully plan the lights that you’ll be adding during your home remodel since your vision will likely become less acute as you age. Below are some tips on how to ensure proper lighting.

Natural Lighting

Natural lighting can make a big difference in your interior. It can make your living spaces look brighter and more welcoming. Large picture windows are ideal for this purpose. Since you can only take advantage of natural light during daytime, you’ll also need some ambient lighting to ensure your interior is always adequately illuminated.

Motion-Detecting Lights

You might want to look into motion-detecting lights. These lights are ideal for hallways, stairs, closets and bathrooms because they automatically turn on when motion is detected. Motion-detecting lights can be especially helpful for older adults who often find it a challenge to look for the switch at night. Take note, however, that motion-sensing lights can become a hazard if they are not installed and positioned properly.

Touch Lights

These lights are a great option for people with conditions like arthritis or reduced finger flexibility and strength since they can turn lights on and off with just a touch of a finger. Some touch lights can be very sensitive while others require more effort. If you fail to choose the right products, you might end up getting frustrated often, so consult your remodeler for guidance.

Reading or Work Lighting

This type of lighting is also referred to as task lighting. It is used in areas where focus on details is important, such as over kitchen and bathroom sinks and counters. Task lighting is also good to have in the living room, bedroom and workshop.
