Make Your Home Feel Brighter with Custom Lighting

Are the dark winter days of Seattle winters getting you down? In January, we typically only experience less than 100 hours of sunlight for the entire month. You might notice that your home is dark and drab. Dark days might even make you feel down in the dumps–seasonal depression, anyone? The good news is that you can make your days a little brighter even during the dark of Seattle winters. Let’s talk about how custom lighting in Seattle can make your home feel like a lighter and brighter retreat until spring arrives.

Custom Lighting in Seattle: Switch up Your Outlets for Better Lighting

Do you have a dark corner in your living room that always feels gloomy? We’re willing to bet that custom lighting in Seattle can help make that spot feel brighter and cozier. But if you don’t have an outlet at your side, it’s kind of tough to add light to a space.

But that’s where custom lighting comes in to help. You can install an outlet in a wall where you want to plug in a lamp, and voila–suddenly things don’t feel so dark. Imagine plugging in a lamp and creating a new reading nook in your space. This is sure to bring a smile to your face with more light to enjoy during short winter days.

What are the benefits of new outlet installation?

When it comes to custom lighting, there are plenty of reasons why new outlet installation is a bright idea. Consider asking us for help to install a new outlet, and experience the following:

• Easier control and access to light sources, especially in areas where existing outlets are limited or inconveniently located.
• Freely add or move lamps and other light fixtures around the room without being restricted by the placement of current electrical outlets.
• Reduce the need for extension cords or power strips, which can be trip hazards or fire risks, especially when overloaded.
• Modern outlets can be more energy-efficient, particularly if they include features like dimmers or timers, helping to reduce electricity usage and costs.
• Customized Lighting Solutions: An additional outlet allows for the use of specialized lighting, such as mood lighting or task lighting, making your space more functional and ambient. 

Install Recessed Lighting as a Bright Custom Lighting Solution

Looking to light up your space as much as possible? Recessed lighting might be the right choice for you. Installed in the ceiling, recessed lights make a space look sleek and modern with plenty of light.

Consider recessed lighting for your home and experience . . .

• Enjoy a uniform level of illumination throughout a room, eliminating shadows and dark corners, which is especially beneficial during the darker winter months.
• Recessed lighting won’t take up any visual or physical space, making them ideal for rooms with lower ceilings or smaller areas.
• Use these custom lights in various rooms and settings, from kitchens and bathrooms to living rooms and home offices, providing a consistent lighting solution across the home.
• Many recessed lighting fixtures allow for adjustments in brightness and direction, enabling focused task lighting or softer ambient lighting as needed.

Make a Statement with Chandelier Custom Lighting Options

When you are looking for the best of both worlds in terms of light and style, you can’t go wrong with chandelier light fixtures. Chandelier custom lighting options come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. It’s easy to find the perfect fit for any room!

• Lantern Chandeliers: Evoking the style of traditional lanterns, these chandeliers add a timeless and often antique feel to a space. They are versatile and can complement a variety of decor styles, from classic to farmhouse.
• Empire Chandeliers: These grand, tiered chandeliers are reminiscent of royal elegance and are perfect for creating a luxurious and opulent atmosphere. They work best in large, spacious rooms with high ceilings.

Pendant Lights Over Kitchen Islands

Hanging pendant lights over kitchen islands or dining tables not only provides essential task lighting but also acts as a stylish focal point in your kitchen or dining area.
