Lighting Mistakes to Avoid<\/p><\/div>\n

Good lighting can enhance the look of a space. Houzz.com contributor David Warfel, a lighting design specialist, recently shared the common mistakes he sees with interior home lighting in an article on the home remodeling website. Problems he sees the most often include:<\/p>\n

Too many\u00a0lights shining downwards in the kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warfel notes that many kitchens have more light shining on the floor than on the countertops, where it has the biggest impact. \u201cAdding well-positioned recessed lights, pendant lights above islands, and under-cabinet lighting are among the ways to ensure our kitchen work areas have enough light,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n

Failing to illuminate\u00a0distinct\u00a0details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Light\u00a0in most homes tends to spotlight\u00a0the drywall, the least expensive surface in a home, Warfel notes. \u201cInstead, position lights to selectively illuminate other details such as molding, arches, and shelves,\u201d he writes. For example, highlight the stone walls in a living room, such as by placing light directly above the face of the stone and having the light graze\u00a0down the wall.<\/p>\n

Harsh lights on a bathroom vanity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warfel says it\u2019s best to avoid poor bathroom vanity lighting. It will cast deep shadows under your eyes and chin. Wall sconces can be a stylish solution and provide a softer glow.<\/p>\n
