My lighting top tips:
Be creative. If you need a lamp but like the look of a ceiling light then improvise; turn it into a lamp. Even chandeliers can sit beautifully on a sideboard – nothing is too bizarre as far as I’m concerned!
Play with what you have available. Think about how you can use existing features and accentuate them with lighting. For example, add LED lighting strips on beams or in alcoves.
Make sure your bulbs comply. If you have a dimmer switch installed then check that the bulbs you have are dimmable, otherwise they can cause damage to the lamp or circuit.
