We almost picked paint colors before fixing the lighting and I’m glad we didn’t. Once we added recessed lights and swapped a dark chandelier with something lighter, the entire space changed.

Suddenly, the room didn’t feel cramped anymore. Natural light bounced off the walls. Paint colors made sense. Even the furniture felt different.

I learned that design isn’t about choosing pretty items it’s about understanding how light interacts with the space.

Conclusion: Before buying anything, look at the light. Good lighting design can make even simple rooms feel elevated.
