2. Let Sunlight Stream in

You don’t always need to rely on lighting fixtures to enjoy a well-lit home or office. Plus, you’ll benefit from the natural mood boost from daylight.

3. Stick to Three Lights Per Room

That’s all you really need to create layered lighting that generates a positive atmosphere – just remember to use three different types of lighting, such as wall lights, ceiling lights, and floor lamps.

4. Use Light Sensors or Timers

Leaving lights on too long will quickly increase your energy bill, so save money by installing light sensors and timers. With a sensor, the light will only come on when you enter a room. A timer means that lights automatically get switched off during certain times of day.
