The Art of Lighting: How the Right Light Changes Everything

You know that cozy feeling you get from a soft glow in the evening or how bright sunlight just makes everything look better? That’s the magic of lighting—and at Levant Decor, it’s one of our favorite tools in the design toolkit. Lighting isn’t just about seeing better; it’s about feeling better in a space. With the right light, a room can go from just okay to amazing, and it’s easier than you might think to get that effect at home.

Here’s how to make every corner of your space shine, in all the best ways. 

1. Make Friends with Natural Light

Natural light is hands-down the best mood booster you can add to any room. There’s nothing quite like the feel of sunshine flooding into your space, making everything feel fresher and more vibrant. At Levant Decor, we look for ways to help clients let the light in, whether that’s with bigger windows, mirrors to bounce it around, or sheer curtains that keep it soft and private. If you don’t have much sunlight, even a strategically placed mirror can make a difference—just think of it as inviting in a little extra warmth and cheer.

2. Task Lighting: Light with a Purpose

You know those moments when you’re chopping veggies, working at your desk, or reading, and you need good, clear light? That’s where task lighting comes in. Sure, it’s functional, but it can also be stylish! Whether it’s sleek pendants over the kitchen island or a charming reading lamp by the sofa, task lighting can be a little style statement of its own. We love showing clients how task lighting can make daily routines easier and, honestly, a little more enjoyable.

3. Accent Lighting: Add Some Drama

Here’s where things get exciting. Accent lighting is the secret to creating a space that feels truly yours. Whether it’s a spotlight on a favorite painting, soft LED strips along a bookshelf, or a soft glow on a lush indoor plant, accent lighting helps highlight the little things that make your home feel personal. We often use accent lights to add depth and make the space come alive. It’s like setting the scene for your own story at home.

4. Ambient Lighting: Your Cozy Base

Ambient lighting is what makes a room feel inviting the moment you step in. Think chandeliers, ceiling lights, or even a simple but beautiful floor lamp. When we’re working on lighting for clients at Levant Decor, we start here. It’s like the backdrop for everything else, setting the stage for all the other lighting layers to work their magic.

5. Dimmers for the Win

Want ultimate control over your lighting? Dimmers are where it’s at. These little tools let you set the mood, whether it’s full brightness for focus or a soft glow for movie nights. We always suggest dimmers because they make a room so much more adaptable—and it’s like having a whole new lighting setup with just a little twist of a dial.

A Brighter, Warmer, More “You” Space

Lighting is one of those things you don’t always think about until you see the difference it makes. At Levant Decor, we love helping people find that just-right balance of lighting that makes every part of their home feel special. Ready to turn your space into a warm, inviting, and beautiful haven? We’re here to make it shine.
