The
Mood
Lighting can change the feel of a room. Make a statement with a chandelier, layer in sconces or swap outdated lighting fixtures with new ones throughout your living spaces. Use warmer color temperatures( 2700K to 3000K) to create cozy glows in bedrooms, living rooms and outdoor spaces.
Raise
THE ROOF
Show your roof some love by upgrading to durable materials such as asphalt, slate or cedar. Looking to brighten your home? A skylight can flood the space with natural light and create a stronger connection to the outdoors. Work with a professional to determine the best placement based on your roof’ s design and sun exposure.
