Light Up The Room + Your Life
By: Alicia Hall, Strategic Communications Intern for Nest with the Nelsons
Lighting ties the look of a room together. Without it, your beautiful home design can’t be elevated to its maximum potential. It’s like glazing to clay, the paint to canvas, the cherry on top, and your source of convenience to get you through the day! Balanced lighting that brings depth to a space will maximize its impact. Good lighting will bring character and energy into the room, while transforming your space to your vision accordingly. Lighting that produces an effective scheme will elevate the look of your physical space, while providing enough brightness for your daily activities. A home design without proper lighting may not feel quite like home if it doesn't provide the best fit for your mood and lifestyle.
