According to experts, placement, fixtures and functions are the three main areas to think about when giving your house a light makeover. Here are a few great ideas to try before you start thinking about redecorating:

• It is important to remember that lighting in itself works as art that defines your personal style, sets the ambience of the entire room and performs practical tasks. This is why it is always a good idea to add lighting in unexpected places. How about hanging a chandelier in the master bathroom? Or using hanging pendant lights as reading lamps in the bed room.
• Now a days painting with light is another great way of expressing your personal style . he use of colored LED lighting is quite in at the moment and using them as toe kick lights underneath islands and cabinets can definitely create a very dramatic affect.
• Another trend that is catching on in the lightning area is highlighting certain objects with under cabinet or in-cabinet lighting. You can easily use tape lighting to get this subtle illuminated line of sight.
• Layered lighting is another rising trend in decorative interior lighting you might want to think about. Layered lighting is not just functional it is decorative as well. 
• In the end remember that good home interior lighting is supposed to multitask- it needs to be functional as well as able to set the mood of the place it is being used in. A great investment in this regard is adding dimmers to the lighting sources in your house. They will not only help control your utility bills, but greatly enhance the quality and quantity of light as well.

Remember, lighting needs to be like music, fluid and reflective of the mood you are in at any particular time of the day. So before you embark on an expensive and time consuming journey of remodeling or redecorating your interiors, shed some light on your current lighting as well, may be your interiors look boring because your lighting is not interesting enough.
