Picture it: you’re preparing a romantic dinner for your partner and you want to set the perfect mood for the evening. Your kitchen and dining area share one light switch though, so the mood is either glaringly bright or too dark to see one another. If only you had a pendant light in the dining area to provide just enough light for your classy, homemade dinner.

This is just one scenario where good lighting in your home makes all the difference. It can be difficult to go from store to store looking for the perfect lighting, though. Instead, order furniture online like chandeliers, table lamps, and more to brighten up your home. Shop Clark Betty for different lighting options today, and continue reading for more reasons to incorporate more lighting around the house.

Photo-Ready

In today’s tech-savvy world, a good photo means more than just a memory to frame. Often times, you’re sharing your photos with friends, family, and even strangers across various social media platforms. When you share your photos, you’re sharing parts of your life. You want to make a good impression, right?

Good photographs revolve around good lighting, which means that whatever you’re photographing is going to look better or worse depending on the lighting environment. Ensure that your home features a variety of ceiling lights, lamps, and wall lighting to properly illuminate your photos.

Setting the Ambience

Like our example illustrated at the beginning of this post, lighting sets the ambience — or mood — of the room. Bright lights are good for the kitchen, woodshop, and bathroom, but would be overwhelming in your dining area or home office.

When you order furniture online, like lighting, you’re able to compare a variety of lighting options at once to decide what would work best in different areas of your home. Find the lighting you need to create the perfect home theatre, homework nook, private library, or other room in your home.

Safety

Another important feature that good lighting provides is safety. Well-lit homes are less likely to be broken into because burglars don’t want to be seen. Lighting can illuminate the outside of your home to better see the environment around you, and it also makes it look like there are plenty of people home and around the house.

For children, the dark can be a scary environment. Light provides the feeling of safety — whether it’s a low-wattage bulb in a table lamp or a wall sconce left on in the hallway for their midnight bathroom break.

Making a Statement

Lighting provides a lot of functionality that allows you to move through and work comfortably in your home. On top of that, your lighting fixtures provide an opportunity to make a statement about your personal taste and lifestyle.

Everything in your home has the opportunity to be a reflection of yourself — your lighting is no exception. At Clark Betty, we offer a variety of lighting options and styles to suit your needs, whether it’s an executive suite home office or the ultimate fan cave.
