When adding new lighting to a room, consider the layered approach (ambient, task, and accent), color temperature, dimming, switch location, smart-control needs, and any code requirements for the space. The goal is layered light that supports each activity in the room — not just a single ceiling fixture.

Planning checklist

  • Ambient light (general room lighting)
  • Task light (kitchen counters, reading, workspace)
  • Accent light (artwork, architectural features)
  • Color temperature (2700K cozy, 3000K balanced, 3500K bright)
  • Dimming support on every fixture
  • Switch placement and smart control
  • Code-required GFCI/AFCI on new circuits
