LIGHTING YOUR NEW HOME: EXPERT TIPS TO ILLUMINATE YOUR LIVING SPACES IN 2024
Achieving the perfect ambiance and functionality through thoughtful lighting solutions can elevate your new home’s interior to new heights. Embrace the transformative power of light as we explore expert tips and strategies to create a harmonious and well-lit living environment.
UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENTIALS: AMBIENT, TASK, AND ACCENT LIGHTING
- Ambient Lighting: Also known as general lighting, ambient lighting provides the overall illumination in a room, creating a comfortable and evenly lit environment. Examples include ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, and recessed downlights.
- Task Lighting: As the name suggests, task lighting is designed to offer focused illumination for specific activities such as reading, cooking, or working. Examples include table lamps, under-cabinet lights, and adjustable floor lamps.
- Accent Lighting: This type of lighting is used to highlight specific features or create visual interest in a room, for example, to emphasise artwork, decorative items, or architectural features. Examples include uplights, track lighting, or wall sconces.
EXPLORING LIGHTING FIXTURES: INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY ROOM
- Living Room: Consider a central ambient lighting fixture such as a statement chandelier or ceiling light, combined with layered task and accent lighting through floor lamps and decorative wall sconces.
- Kitchen: Prioritise task lighting solutions such as under-cabinet LED strips or pendant lights over work areas, complemented by ambient lighting through recessed downlights or flush-mounted ceiling lights.
- Bedroom: Strike a balance between soothing ambient lighting using flush-mounted fixtures or soft table lamps, and focused task lighting for reading or work in the form of adjustable bedside or desk lamps.
- Bathroom: Ensure proper illumination with well-placed task lighting around mirrors or vanity areas, and opt for bright ambient lights such as downlights or ceiling fixtures to provide overall room visibility.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY: TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
In 2024, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly lighting choices have become increasingly popular. Transition to cost-effective and sustainable solutions with these simple steps:
- LED Lights: Select LED lights for enhanced energy efficiency, longevity, and reduced power consumption.
- Smart Lighting: Opt for smart lighting systems with dimmable features and smartphone control capabilities to curate your preferred ambience, while minimising energy usage.
- Natural Light: Maximise natural light during the day by strategically placing mirrors, utilising sheer window treatments, or installing skylights and large windows.
HARMONY, FLOW, AND BALANCE: CREATING THE PERFECT LIGHTING SCHEME
Achieve a harmonious living environment with these tips on crafting the perfect lighting scheme for your new home:
- Consistency: Establish a consistent lighting style throughout your home, whether it’s in choosing fixtures or adhering to a specific design theme.
- Layering: Implement different lighting types in a single room to create a multi-layered effect, facilitating functionality and ambiance depending on your needs.
- Dimmers: Equip your lighting fixtures with dimmer switches to enable you to alter the intensity and create adaptable lighting environments according to your needs and preferences.
- Artistic Expression: Utilise beautiful or quirky light fixtures as a form of artistic expression, injecting personality, and charm into your living spaces.
CONCLUSION
The journey to illuminate your new home in 2024 is an exciting yet crucial aspect of interior design that can transform your living spaces into warm, inviting, and functional abodes.

STEP INTO YOUR DREAM HOME WITH OUR FURNITURE PACKAGES
So you’ve just bought your dream home and you have a picture in your mind of how the perfect property styling and home furniture packages will take you from an empty shell and into a property that looks like something out of a magazine.
The problem is you’re time-poor and those magazine spreads have the perfect interior design thanks to professional property stylists. Also, these stylists know everybody in the property, furniture, and interior design industries to help them pull it all together seamlessly, quickly, and easily.
You may think the solution lies in a furniture package, but you have to consider where you place your trust when it comes to sourcing these packages. As with all things quality, price, convenience, and the outcome will need to be weighed.
Cheap ‘one size fits all’ furniture packages might look good online but fail to deliver the outcome you’re looking for and the lack of quality when it comes to materials is immediately obvious.
FurnishX packages are different. These ex-display packages feature the finest quality, most on-trend furniture artwork, and accessories, but it doesn’t end there. It’s the unique FurnishX process that makes sure you know you’re not only getting incredible quality, but you will also achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
THE FURNISHX DIFFERENCE
- Our ex-display furniture comes from the diverse range of projects our property stylists deliver each month.
- Tell us about your house and pick your style – classic, coastal, or contemporary. One of our professional styling team will then visit your property to measure, quote and help you create the space of your dreams
- Our styling team will curate a package from our extensive range of high-quality ex-display furniture, artwork and accessories.
- We will deliver and install your ex-display furniture package, offering a full turn key service including rubbish removal.
IS THE WHOLE PROCESS FAST AND STRESS-FREE?
Property styling, like any craft or profession, takes years of experience to master. You can get all the styling tips in the world, but unless you are a professional the chances are it’s going to take you a lot of time, and likely added expense to be able to create or recreate the most stunning house possible inside and out.
At FurnishX our team works with you to deliver the perfect use of space, natural light, furniture, artwork, and accessories in the shortest possible time.
HOW CAN FURNISHX SOURCE THE PERFECT FURNITURE PACKAGES SO EFFICIENTLY?
Quite simply, it’s what we do. We are working on projects across the country that demand our stylists are the best and our product is the best. It’s how our stylists know how to find the perfect furniture pieces and offer incredible value for budget. Our designers will help you to ‘shop the look’ and ensure it’s tailored to your personal style and taste.
So don’t spend months pouring over Pinterest and interior design magazines when you could have a conversation with one of our friendly designers. It’ll save you months of stress, give you the best possible outcome and make the most of your budget.
Just imagine going from an empty house and 24 hours later stepping into a space that is now the home you envisaged right from the moment the dream started.
