I've been daydreaming lately about totally redoing the lighting in my place. Like, imagine if you could just snap your fingers and start fresh—no old wiring, no ugly fixtures from the 90s (ugh, brass everywhere). I'd probably go for softer, warmer lights in the living room, maybe some hidden LED strips under cabinets or shelves for a cozy vibe. But then again, I also love those industrial-style hanging bulbs... decisions, decisions. Curious what other people would do differently if they had a clean slate?
"maybe some hidden LED strips under cabinets or shelves for a cozy vibe"
Hidden LEDs are great, especially for evening ambiance. Personally, I'd prioritize dimmers everywhere—being able to adjust brightness makes such a difference. Ever thought about smart lighting setups for convenience?
Hidden LEDs definitely add a subtle elegance, but honestly, dimmers and smart setups are where it's at. When I redid my kitchen lighting, I went all-in on smart bulbs with adjustable warmth and brightness. Took a weekend to set up properly, but now I can't imagine going back. Being able to shift from bright task lighting while cooking to a warm, mellow glow for dinner is a game changer... totally worth the effort.
