Lighting Tips

Foyers, Halls and Stairways
Size the decorative fixture to the space. Two story foyers will require a larger fixture. If the fixture can be viewed from above, be sure to select a foyer fixture which looks attractive from second story viewing. Stairways and halls must have good general lighting for safety. Choose matching close-to-ceiling fixtures for hallways and smaller chain-hung fixtures for stairways.

Living Area
Recessed lighting is one of the preferred ways to light a general area because the light source is concealed. Close to ceiling or decorative fluorescent fixtures can provide ample lighting.

Dining Area
A chandelier or pendant can be a general lighting element, as well as a focal point of the home. Recessed wall washers can provide additional light while helping to create an illusion of a larger room space. A chandelier should be 6" to 12" smaller than the narrowest side of the table. The bottom of a pendant or chandelier should be approximately 30" above a table.

Kitchen
Decorative fluorescent fixtures mounted in the center of a work space is a common choice. Kitchens less than 100 square feet require a two lamp fluorescent, up to 250 square feet will require supplemental lighting. Down lights mounted 18" off the edge of the cabinets, and spaced 3' to 4' on centers is an excellent way to create additional general lighting.

Bath & Vanity Lighting
Areas over 100 square feet require several recessed down lights or decorative surface mounted fixtures. Companion close-to-ceiling fixtures help to supplement bath wall brackets in larger bathrooms.

Outdoor Lighting
Select a design and size to complement your house while providing sufficient lighting for safety. When installing a wall lantern, size the fixture to the door and surrounding space. Wall lanterns should be mounted slightly above eye level 60° to 66° from the center of the fixture to the floor. Post top lanterns are an excellent way to light a walkway, while complimenting wall lanterns. Large post top lanterns make a better impression when used in large open spaces
