Most table lamps and ceiling fixtures are decked out with 75+ watt bulbs, this is often too high when these are for decorative purposes.
Instead, swap out these bulbs for 25-40 wattage to make each room look a lot more flattering and inviting.
Maximise natural light – especially in your hallway, kitchen, and living room, natural light is key to a calm, open space.
Replace any heavy curtains with blinds or shutters, like Luxaflex® Faux Wood Shutters. This will give you the flexibility in allowing as much or as little light in as you like.
