But how do you plan a room\u2019s lighting design? Use these tips, from installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cunninghamwindows.com\/replacement-windows-doors-orange-county-ca\/\">replacement windows on your Orange County, CA<\/a> home to choosing a mood and function, to create a good lighting design plan<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What are Your Existing Resources? \u2013<\/strong> What light sources and fixtures do you have to work with? Once you know what you have you can make adjustments as needed. You can add a dimmer switch to a lamp or install new replacement windows. The right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cunninghamwindows.com\/double-hung-and-slider-replacement-windows\/\">replacement windows<\/a> are like dimmers for natural light, allowing you to control the amount of natural light that comes into a room depending on the kind of glass or window frame you choose. You can also install or remove windows as needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What\u2019s Mood Are You Going For? \u2013<\/strong> Different rooms necessitate different moods. For example, bedrooms should be cozy and relaxing while the kitchen should be bright and cheerful. The lighting in a space has a big impact on its mood, so decide what you want the mood of your room to be before you make any lighting plans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the Room\u2019s Function? \u2013<\/strong> Similarly, the room\u2019s function is also deeply tied to its lighting. Kitchens need to be bright and light for chopping, cooking and other daily tasks, while bedrooms need to have control over the light for sleeping and waking cycles. The same principles apply to TV rooms that need dim light to reduce glare or studies with plants or other light-sensitive items that need more or less sunlight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Variety is Key \u2013<\/strong> The eyes get tired if there\u2019s no variety in a room\u2019s lighting. Incorporate a variety of light in the form of shadows, highlights, and lowlights throughout the room by installing different kinds of replacement windows, window treatments, lamps, and other lighting fixtures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highlight Features \u2013<\/strong> You can use lighting to highlight the best parts of a room and downplay the parts you don\u2019t like as much. You can put a bright lamp by your favorite chair and angle it away from that corner that has all the kid\u2019s toys or points a spotlight at that gorgeous piece of artwork. Don\u2019t forget to light for function, too. Game tables or project spaces need bright light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What\u2019s the Already Light Like? \u2013<\/strong> What\u2019s the light in the space like already? The natural light in the room changes throughout the day and depending on the direction the windows are facing. Afternoon sun can be hot and intense, morning light is warm. North and south facing windows offer steadily regulated lighting during the day while East and West windows let in sharp slants of light and total shadow depending on the time of day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-78860 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cunninghamwindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/replacement-windows-on-your-Tustin-CA-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"replacement windows on your Tustin, CA\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cunninghamwindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/replacement-windows-on-your-Tustin-CA-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cunninghamwindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/replacement-windows-on-your-Tustin-CA-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cunninghamwindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/replacement-windows-on-your-Tustin-CA.jpg 943w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A room\u2019s lighting has a big impact.
