When you’re planning a home remodel, it’s easy to focus on finishes, furniture, and floorplans. But one of the most important design elements is often overlooked until the very end: lighting.

At Laymance Lighting, we’ve seen it time and again, beautiful remodels that fall flat because lighting was an afterthought. That’s why our #SmartLightingTip is simple but essential: Think about lighting from the very beginning of your project.

Remember these key points when planning your remodel:

• Early Planning for Lighting: Incorporating lighting into your home remodel plans from the beginning ensures your space achieves the desired atmosphere and avoids costly reworks later.
• Lighting Shapes the Mood: The type, placement, and temperature of lighting significantly influence how a room feels, whether cozy or energizing.
• Design Integration with Lighting: Early collaboration with a lighting expert helps your lighting complement architectural features and interior design elements seamlessly.
• Prevent Costly Redesigns: Addressing lighting upfront prevents the need to make adjustments after construction, saving time and money.
• Work with Experts Early On: Involving lighting specialists from the start ensures functional, beautiful, and cohesive lighting plans, enhancing your entire remodel.

Why Lighting Should Come First

1. Lighting Shapes the Mood

Lighting doesn’t just help you see; it shapes how a space feels. Whether you want cozy and calm or bright and energizing, your choice of fixtures, bulb temperature, and placement all make a big difference.

2. Design Integration Matters

Your lighting plan should support your architecture and interior design, not fight it. Working with a lighting expert early ensures that lighting enhances features like vaulted ceilings, accent walls, artwork, and even natural light sources.

3. Avoid Costly Redesigns

Waiting until the end often leads to compromises, rework, or limited options. If lighting isn’t part of the original plan, you may end up tearing into finished drywall or settling for subpar placement and fixtures.

Make Lighting a Priority

If you’re working with an architect or interior designer, bring your lighting expert into the conversation as early as possible. At Laymance Lighting, we collaborate with homeowners, products, and design teams to create cohesive lighting plans from day one.

Whether it’s a single room makeover or a full-home renovation, we’ll help ensure that your remodel shines—literally.
