Sometimes lighting can be an afterthought for men when styling a space. Let’s discuss why you need lighting in your bachelor pad after the break…
Lighting is an essential part of home décor, no matter the size or style of your home. In a home, lighting can be used to focus attention on a particular object or feature such as a painting or sculpture in your living room. It can also be used to highlight furniture placement, creating a sense of drama as well as mood.
If you’re looking for a way to personalize your bachelor pad and make it feel more like home, lighting can be the perfect solution. It’s an inexpensive improvement that will help you create a warm, inviting space in any room of your house, and no matter what type of bachelor pad you want (or don’t want), there are options out there for every budget.
Let’s discuss some of the lighting you can add:
2. Wall sconces are a great way to add light and update a room by making it feel more modern and sometimes more spacious.
3. Chandeliers are lighting fixtures that hang from the ceiling. They are often ornate and decorative, usually with multiple lights arranged in a branched pattern.
4. Fandeliers is a combination of a fan and chandelier, so it is a ceiling fan with lights hanging from it.
5. Floor lamps are great for ambient light but localize lighting in certain areas and groupings.
6. Desk lights will give you that more concentrated task lighting.
7. You can also add smart lighting such as LED lights and place them in the following places:
- Under chairs, sofas, and beds
- Behind dressers
- Behind your TV
- Behind and/or under a home bar/bar cart
- Under your bathroom cabinets
- In your closet
- Behind your headboard
- Behind X-large wall art
My advice is to make sure you use three different kinds of lighting in a room to have that multi-dimensional space that creates visual interest. For example, in your bedroom use led lights, a chandelier, and table lamps.
I hope this article explains why you need lighting in your bachelor pad, so when you’re styling your bachelor pad, it’s important to take into account that lighting will affect how your home feels. You want people to feel comfortable when they enter your bachelor pad and lighting plays a big role in making that happen.
