LIGHTING OPTIONS FOR YOUR LOFT

It is important that your loft be welcoming and bright. To make your loft more utilized and lived in, making the place bright will definitely help. Here are a few lighting tips that you might want to have installed in your future loft:

Natural Lighting – Natural Lighting can be present in your loft through windows and skylights. This will bring in natural sunlight, and it’s a bonus to bring in a cool breeze too! Some homeowners in West Mersea also have lofts with Juliet Balconies installed to bring in more warmth and light. Additionally, this gives you more beautiful views of West Mersea and acts as a unique point in your loft.

Task Lighting – Task lighting is great to add if you’re converting your loft into a productive space. Commonly, task lighting is added to promote creativity and drive productivity. These are strategically placed to illuminate desks and workspaces, like a meeting desk and whiteboard or your personal work desk. Task Lighting commonly uses cool or white light, but there have been advances with bulbs and lighting that allow the mix of both warm and cool lighting or alternating both. This is a great option for those looking to have a Loft Conversion done in West Mersea.

Accent Lighting – Accent Lighting is great to set the mood and give more character to your loft area. This is commonly used for lofts that will be transformed into wardrobes or glam rooms, and bedrooms. Accent Lighting can be placed on your vanity if you’re planning on creating a glam room, or light up your closet if you’re adding wardrobe space in your loft. For your bedroom, accent lighting is great to set the mood for rest and relaxation. You can attach wall sconces or lamps with unique designs to make your loft truly bespoke.
