>> YOU WALK INTO
A ROOM in your home and
switch on the light. What level of
illumination greets you — and how
well does it serve your needs in
that space?
Choosing the right type of lighting
for each room in your home
is important, and not just for
esthetics. Lighting can affect your
mood and sense of well-being. It
can even have an impact on your
energy level and productivity.
Especially as the days get shorter,
it's not something homeowners
should take … well, lightly.
"There are a lot of decisions to be
made when building a house," says
Alison Demaré, Winnipeg branch
manager at Robinson Lighting &
Bath.
"Homeowners can be quite
overwhelmed by the process, and
they might know what kind of
lighting they like but aren't sure
how to put it all together.
"They might have spent hours
online and picked out some fixtures
they like, but have no idea how
it will coordinate with the rest of
the home, or the type of light it
will provide. There are different
layers of lighting we need to look
at to help people choose the best
solutions for each room."
CHOOSING THE RIGHT
TYPE OF LIGHTING FOR
EACH ROOM IN YOUR
HOME IS IMPORTANT,
AND NOT JUST FOR
ESTHETICS.
