When renovating, people focus on furniture and paint, but true impact comes from lighting and flooring. These elements shape the space’s character and enhance the entire décor.

Lighting sets the mood of a room. The right lighting can make spaces feel larger, cozier, or highlight their best features.
Types of Lighting:
-
Ambient Lighting: Main source of brightness (ceiling light, chandelier).
-
Task Lighting: Focused light for activities (kitchen, reading).
-
Accent Lighting: Highlights details and décor (spotlights, LED strips).
