Avoiding Common Design Mistakes

Good lighting can transform a space, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere or a bright and energetic vibe. But poor lighting choices can leave your Bali home feeling drab and uninviting.

At Bali Home Fix, we believe in empowering Bali homeowners with knowledge to make informed decisions about home maintenance and home renovation. Here are some common lighting design mistakes to avoid!

 

1. Overlooking Natural Light:

Maximize natural light by keeping windows clean and curtains open during the day. Consider adding skylights or replacing small windows with larger ones to flood your home with light.

 

2. Underestimating Task Lighting:

While ambient lighting sets the mood, task lighting is essential for specific activities like reading, cooking, or working. Install adequate lighting in areas where you need focused illumination.

 

3. Neglecting Layered Lighting:

A combination of different lighting sources creates a more balanced and versatile space. Use a mix of overhead lighting, table lamps, floor lamps, and sconces to achieve a layered effect.

 

4. Ignoring Warmth and Coolness:

The color temperature of light bulbs can affect the mood of a room. Warmer tones (2700K-3000K) create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, while cooler tones (4000K-5000K) are ideal for tasks that require concentration.

 

5. Forgetting Dimmers:

Dimmers allow you to adjust the lighting intensity to suit different moods and activities. Consider installing dimmers in key areas like living rooms and bedrooms.

 

6. Overlooking Energy Efficiency:

Choose energy-efficient light bulbs, such as LEDs, to reduce your energy consumption and save money on electricity bills.

 

7. Ignoring Maintenance:

Regularly clean light fixtures and replace burnt-out bulbs to ensure optimal lighting performance.
