R Fleming Construction is proud to present a Q&A session with a local lighting expert, shedding light on the importance of proper lighting in our daily lives.
As we navigate through our daily routines, we often take for granted the role that lighting plays in our surroundings. From the soft glow of a lamp to the bright lights of a cityscape, lighting has the power to transform our environment and our mood.
What inspired you to pursue a career in lighting?
I’ve always been fascinated by the way light can change the atmosphere of a space. As a child, I would spend hours playing with flashlights and experimenting with different lighting effects. As I grew older, my interest in lighting only deepened, and I decided to pursue a career in the field.
What are some common lighting mistakes that people make in their homes?
One of the most common mistakes people make is using too much overhead lighting. This can create harsh shadows and make a room feel cold and uninviting. Instead, I recommend using a combination of table lamps and floor lamps to create a warm and cozy atmosphere.
How can people incorporate more natural light into their homes?
There are several ways to incorporate more natural light into your home. One of the simplest ways is to install skylights or larger windows. You can also use mirrors to reflect natural light and make a room feel brighter. Additionally, consider using sheer curtains or blinds to filter the light and create a softer glow.
What are some of the most popular lighting trends right now?
Some of the most popular lighting trends right now include the use of smart lighting systems, which allow you to control your lights remotely using your smartphone or tablet. Another trend is the use of LED lighting, which is energy-efficient and can be used in a variety of applications, from task lighting to ambient lighting.
What advice would you give to someone who is looking to improve the lighting in their home?
My advice would be to start by assessing your lighting needs and identifying the areas of your home that need the most attention. From there, you can begin to make changes, such as installing new light fixtures or using lamps to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
By following these simple tips, you can create a lighting plan that is both functional and beautiful.
