Lighting for All Areas of Your Home

Don’t let lighting be an afterthought in your home interior design. The right lighting plays a key role in home décor and can make all the difference in the look and feel of your rooms, adding warmth, depth, and charm.

Use layers of lighting for the best results, rather than simply adding an overhead light and calling it done. 

We suggest a mix of three types of indoor lighting:
Ambient Lighting – This type of lighting is meant to evenly illuminate your room, which can be accomplished with wall-mounted or overhead lighting.  
Accent Lighting – Accent lights add drama to your space and highlight focal points in your home, from artwork to bookshelves to plants.
Task Lighting – When you read, cook, do homework, or get ready in the morning, you need task lighting. For example, pendant lights over the kitchen island will make food prep easier. Wall-mounted lights over your bathroom vanity will assist in your daily grooming routine.  
At Builders Warehouse, we have answers to all your lighting needs.

Ceiling Lighting

Ceiling or overhead lights are mostly an after-thought, but they can make a big difference in the way a room looks. With an assortment of sizes, we have everything from a closet to a living room covered. Ceiling lights are perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, where it’s important for the full room to be illuminated.

Pendant Lighting

Pendant lighting – fixtures that are suspended from a chain or cord – can make a bold statement. These striking lights can be used in many different spaces, such as a kitchen island, dinner table, bar, or pool table. We carry a wide selection of styles and sizes, and we’re always on the lookout for new and interesting options.

Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans can provide ambient light, while also helping keep a room cool in summer and move warm air during winter. With a difference of up to 4 degrees, a ceiling fan is worth every penny when used correctly.

HOME LIGHTING TIPS

In addition to layering with ambient, accent, and task lighting, here are some other tips to keep in mind when installing light fixtures in your home.
Choose the right size: 
Take room measurements with you when picking out fixtures. Lights can look smaller in the showroom, so it’s good to know the size of your room rather than guessing how it will look in your space.
Position fixtures at the proper height: 
For example, install pendant lights 30 to 36 inches above a kitchen island. When adding other types of fixtures, always keep function in mind – you want your lights at a height that allows them to do their job!
Use dimmer switches: 
For flexibility in the intensity of your lights, use dimmer switches. This allows you to control lighting based on the time of day, your mood, and what you’re using the room for at that moment.
Be energy efficient: 
The type of bulbs you choose is an important decision. Longer-lasting LED and CFL bulbs will save you money over time and consume less energy. They won’t work for all lighting purposes, but it’s good to use them when possible.
