Lighting in residential design has evolved into much more than incorporating a few decorative pendants and the haphazard placement of multiple ceiling cans. Today’s effective layered lighting plan can have a significant influence on daily activities like entertaining, getting ready for work, winding down in the evening and finding one’s way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. In the past, designers may have felt unsupported and even uneducated when it came to creating an accurate lighting plan. Today, there are several services and experts to help aid in this process and bring lighting to the forefront of all residential projects.
