Making the most of your house is less to do with the room that you have and more a case of how you plan out your living arrangements. Most of us accept the status quo and simply assign a room its function as a result of perceived thinking. But more and more people are creating multi-use rooms that can be transformed from bedrooms to entertainment spaces, to multimedia presentation suites. Room layouts can be reconfigured to help you get the most out of your room and allow all your family to enjoy your home as effectively and flexibly as possible. Sofas can be transformed into beds, allowing you to have more guests to stay without having to put them up on uncomfortable camping mattresses. Living rooms can quickly turn into a multimedia viewing suite by the use of an overhead projector and conservatories can go from a summer only space to a room suitable for all the year round with the effective deployment of modern heating solutions.
Lighting is a central feature of using your rooms flexibly and the impact that it can have on the look and function of a particular space is extraordinary. Dimmers, for example, are great to alter the mood, but also useful if you want to transform your third bedroom from a haven of soft slumbers to, for example, a study. By simply increasing the light intensity you can make a real difference to how the room is used, freeing up other space for new activities. To get the most out of your rooms, it's optimal to have three different permutations of lighting in each living space as this gives the maximum flexibility.
Overhead lighting is predominantly for illumination, letting you use a room for a variety of purposes, from viewing a film to working on a model aeroplane. Wall lighting is great for creating a particular atmosphere and can be used in conjunction with overhead lights to help give the room maximum flexibility. Finally, by using table and floor lamps around the space, you can ensure that there are specific pools of light that are ideal if your family want to use the space for two different things, such as reading and listening to music.
There is a wide range of lighting available online and there are many different styles and designs to choose from. However, whether you want something for your bedroom or the boardroom, make sure you try to visualise the overall effect in conjunction with other design elements in the room, such as the furniture and wall coverings, as this will make a huge difference to the overall effect.
