It is one of the most exciting times in your life! You have finally
agreed the time is right to build your dream home. The decisions
facing you can be both fun and challenging. The goal you have in
mind is to maximize the enjoyment you'll find in a new home,
while staying within a budget.
When deciding on lighting, turn to an experienced professional to be your guide, taking advantage of their knowledge and experience.
Kevin Ellman, owner of Ellman's Electric Service, Inc., offers these helpful hints:
Shop for ideas prior to beginning the building process. Tour your local Showcase of Homes, browse through Home Building magazines and attend trade shows if possible. This will allow you to see what is new in the marketplace, as well as give you ideas on color, style and finished products.
Consider how bright you would like each room. Your options are only limited by your imagination. Recessed or down lighting can give you the brightness in the working areas of your home, whereas ceiling fixtures will provide soft lighting for the entire room.
Consider the value you receive with lighted ceiling fans. They can be both attractive showpieces as well as useful fixtures throughout your home.
Don't forget the mood lighting! Consider the trey ceiling in the bedroom or the planter shelf in the great room; either can be a great place to put accent lighting. Take advantage of the opportunity to have your home reflect your personality and creativity.
Outside lighting will contribute to both the beauty and the safety of your new home. Your options in the this area are unlimited. Motion lights can provide increased security and spot lights can target light where you want it. Coach lights will accent the beauty of your home, while still providing walkway visibility for you and your guests.
Low voltage lighting can provide the finishing touches to the overall beauty of your new home. Whether lighting the way though the backyard garden or down the walking path to your front door, this lighting gets noticed!
We at Ellman’s Electric Service Inc, have been helping our customers to realize their dreams for over 18 years. We look forward to helping you to shine the light on your new home.
