Exceptional Interior Lighting on a Budget<\/h1>\n

The Ultimate Guide to Budget Interior Lighting for the Do-It-Yourselfer<\/h2>\n

Most of us are trying to create exceptional living spaces in a builder grade home on a limited budget.\u00a0 It’s not an easy feat.\u00a0 Although builders offer tons of optional upgrades, most home buyers limited upgrade budget will be spent on appliances, cabinet and flooring upgrades.\u00a0 This is a problem because the average builder home needs $4,000 in electrical upgrades above the basic package, and a lot of homes never got the needed upgrades.\u00a0 This is why we’re living in homes with a single light fixture in the middle of each bedroom, poorly placed kitchen fixtures and generally uninspired fixtures.\u00a0 \u00a0The first night I spent in my new home, I had to use my cell phone flashlight to walk safely down the hallway.\u00a0 My huge family room didn’t have a single light fixture–not one!\u00a0 I needed interior lighting in a big way–on a budget.\u00a0 I’m not talking about plugging in a couple of lamps or installing extra-bright light bulbs, but inspired interior lighting that creates ambiance and warmth.<\/p>\n

Interior lighting–especially on a budget is a tall order for any do-it-yourselfer.\u00a0 Most of us don’t want to deal with “shocking” electrical projects ourselves, and it can be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on small jobs.\u00a0 Never fear!\u00a0 There are tons of great solutions to give you exceptional interior lighting depending on your DIY skills.<\/p>\n

Install Dimmers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting with the easiest DIY upgrade, installing dimmer switches on your lights allows you to adjust the lighting according to need and mood.\u00a0 You can install bright daylight bulbs into your current fixtures without having to commit to having noonday light in your room at all times.\u00a0 When you’re ready to unwind, you simply turn down the mood on your lights and let the relaxation begin.\u00a0 Check out our other ideas for turning any bedroom into a suite.<\/a><\/p>\n

[bctt tweet=”Check out our DIY Guide to Exceptional Interior Lighting” username=”@blowingaway1990″]<\/p>\n

I’m also a huge fan of the dimmer in unexpected places like the entry ways and hallways because it allows you to highlight seasonal and accent lighting.\u00a0 Lit garlands and trees at Christmas are allowed to shine when bathed in the quiet light of a dimmer set on low.\u00a0 Add battery powered gallery lighting above your art and gallery walls so you can highlight your beautiful pictures for parties by turning the gallery lighting on and dimming the overhead hall lights.\u00a0 Dimmers also allow hallways to be left barely lit at night when you have house guests that might have difficulty navigating dark halls.<\/p>\n

Get the Right Glow\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The light bulbs you choose have a big impact on the overall glow of your home.\u00a0 When I moved into my home with limited light fixtures, I ran out and bought bright bulbs for every light fixture only to discover that my home doesn’t look good lit up like billboard.\u00a0 Now I don’t use the same light bulbs in every room, and neither should you.\u00a0 Halogen, compact fluorescent, and LED bulbs come in a variety of hues.\u00a0 Cool toned walls look best with a warm hued bulb, and warm toned walls brighten against a cool hued bulb.\u00a0 Good lighting plays a big part in turning a bathroom into a spa retreat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Specialty bulbs is a growing market.\u00a0 If you don’t believe me, you should plan to spend your next date night checking out Home Depot’s light bulb display (isn’t that what you do for date night too?) You can check out all the different options using their lighting demonstrations.\u00a0 You’re bound to find new colors and fun specialty bulbs like the Edison Vintage Filament Bulb.<\/a><\/p>\n

Another option is to install smart bulbs.\u00a0 I love the Wifi Smart Bulb Sunrise Sunset<\/a>\u00a0bulb.\u00a0 It simulates the color hues of the sunrise and sunset to “sync your body’s natural clock with nature.”\u00a0 Essentially, it turns your bedside lamp into a natural alarm clock by slowly dimming the light when you go to bed, and slowly lighting your room in the morning.\u00a0 Screw the bulb into your lamp and sync it with an app on your phone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upgrade your Light Fixtures<\/b><\/p>\n

Sorry, I know that this suggestion is ridiculously obvious but ugly light fixtures have to go.\u00a0 If you’re completely against wiring in a new light fixture, you can upgrade lighting by replacing the glass on kitchen pendants and bathroom lights.\u00a0 Replacement glass<\/a> is available in all shapes, styles and colors so you should be able to find something that looks better than the builder grade fixtures you’ve inherited.\u00a0 This is a picture of our kitchen where we replaced several can lights with pendants and glass shades, and it added instant visual interest.<\/p>\n

Replacing an existing light fixture can instantly change the entire look of a room.\u00a0 Builder grade light fixtures are generally uninspired, and have fewer light bulbs than needed.\u00a0 I’ve seen above dining table light fixtures with a single bulb!\u00a0 How can you tell what’s for dinner with that kind of lighting?\u00a0 If your budget is tight, concentrate on the rooms and areas with the most need and the most traffic.\u00a0 Choose light fixtures that you love AND provide ample lighting.\u00a0 Metallic light fixtures are big for 2018.\u00a0 Check out all the other trends in our Ultimate DIY Guide to the 2018 Interior Design Trends<\/a>.\u00a0 Remember, you can always use a dimmer to reduce light but you can’t increase light when you’re dealing with too few light bulbs.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Check out Home Depot’s tutorial on how to change out a light fixture.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Houzz<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
As a rule of thumb, you want the bottom of your light 12 to 20 inches below a standard 8 foot ceiling so that your light doesn’t look too high or too low.\u00a0 For each additional foot of ceiling height, add 3 inches.\u00a0 The bottom of a light fixture hanging above a table should be between 28 and 34 inches, but smaller fixtures can be closer to the table and larger fixtures further away and still look good.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fix Your Weird Lighting Problems<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Weird lighting problems exist in almost every home.\u00a0 I’m talking about the kitchen island with no lighting above it.\u00a0 The off-center light fixture above the table.\u00a0 The lamp that is too far from the bed because the outlet is in the wrong spot.\u00a0 \u00a0 These lighting problems are obvious to everyone walking into your home, but become invisible to us simply because we’re used to them.\u00a0 And most are pretty simple fixes.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Poorly placed outlets:<\/strong>\u00a0 Slimline extension cords<\/a> are flat enough to tuck under trim, with a plug that lies flat against the outlet so you can move your lamp where it really needs to be without an unsightly cord.<\/div>\n
Off center lighting:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Adding chain or cord to your light fixture will allow you to pull the light up and over, securing it with hook in the ceiling.\u00a0 Make sure that you purchase a heavy duty anchor hook that can handle the weight of the light fixture.\u00a0 Paint the hook the same color as your ceiling. You can also use the technique for adding light over an island to relocate an off-center fixture.<\/div>\n
Add lighting over a kitchen island:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Use cord swags to stylishly drape pendant lighting where it needs to go.\u00a0 It’s an easy way to move lighting without re-wiring.\u00a0 Check it out in the picture below.<\/div>\n

Hallway and Stair Lighting<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Adding down lights to your stairs and hallways make your home safer and give it an instant designer look, and there are options that don’t require a complete re-wiring of your home.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of the easiest ways to give hallways a pretty glow is to use stylish plugin nightlights<\/a>.\u00a0 They plug into a standard wall outlet with a sensor so they turn on at dusk and off at dawn, and they have louvers so you can adjust the direction of the light.\u00a0 If you’re short on outlets, use a wireless night-light option like the Mr. Beams Stick Anywhere light.<\/a><\/div>\n

Two items on my kitchen to-do list involve lighting.\u00a0 The first is under cabinet lighting strips.\u00a0 Some are easier to install than others, so pick something that works with your skill set.\u00a0 I’m eyeing these\u00a0motion activated under cabinet strips<\/a>\u00a0because they’re peel and stick light strips that plug into a standard outlet.\u00a0 I’m also planning on installing toe-kick lighting.\u00a0 It gives kitchens beautiful ambient lighting, and provides a night light for those late night ice cream binges.\u00a0 I’ve been looking at these rope lights<\/a> for my toe-kick lighting.\u00a0 They look easy to install with some liquid nail, and they are virtually heat-less.<\/div>\n

I love decorative lighting for a dramatic update that instantly makes rooms feel more interesting.\u00a0 I’m always amazed at the incredible choices in decorative lighting<\/a>.\u00a0 Globe lamps, wall signs, and marquee letters are easy ways to add visual interest to any room and set the mood for a space.\u00a0 Choose decorative lighting that fits your personality and the space as an instant upgrade.\u00a0 I’m also a fan of decorative outdoor lighting.\u00a0 We’re pretty bad at videos, but we love our outdoor lights and you can check out our tutorial on installing an outdoor outlet here.<\/a><\/div>\n

If your home still feels dark after implementing these easy upgrades, it may be time to bring in an electrician or hone your electrical skills.\u00a0 My huge living room (with no light) wasn’t a simple fix because there was no way to use lamps and decorative lighting to provide the task lighting needed.\u00a0 We wound up installing nine can lights, wiring them to the existing ceiling fan power source.\u00a0 It was a sweaty, dirty job but I’m happy to say that I didn’t lose my husband in the attic and the lighting is amazing.\u00a0 Builder grade lighting is just never enough to give your home the mood and ambiance it deserves. Tackle a few simple lighting projects and you’ll be amazed at the different feel of your home.\u00a0 If you like these ideas, please share the love and share this post.
