Lighting Sense
We’ve said it again and again; proper lighting that augments or complements a space works wonders whatever the size your space may be. There is a hitch though, the most appealing type of light bulbs incandescent are by law being phased out and are currently being replaced by CFL lamps or the ones that cost more but last longer. This allows homes to become more energy efficient, but do not fret yet, they also have a nice trait of coming in all shades and colors that you can mix and match to attain your look. With old incandescent bulbs, more than 60% of the electricity it uses is lost as heat wasting it through it’s short lifespan. CFL’s last longer (if they are used for at least 15 minutes at a time) and consume a fraction of the energy (a 5 watt CFL has the similar output of a 40 Watt ordinary bulb). They last longer and they are more efficient in providing all the light you need.
