Spotlights: Everything you ever need to know

Spotlights come in a variety of styles and finishes and are perfect for highlighting your home’s finest features. Offering highly versatile lighting they can be used to enhance every room. Follow our guide and choose the perfect spotlights for each room in your home.

Living Room

Living room spot lights should be soft, unobtrusive and mood enhancing. We recommend recessed downlights fitted approximately 2 feet away from the edge of your walls onto your ceilings, spaced evenly across the room for a balanced look. Dimmable spotlights are a great option as the light intensity can be adjusted to set the mood. Then for times that you require focused task lighting a model that features multiple spotlights, such as this triple spotlight can be fitted centrally.

To highlight features in your living room such as a painting, wall mounted spotlights, such as this beautiful copper spotlight, add a stylish finish to your living room.

Kitchen

A key requirement in kitchens are well lit areas for food preparation and cooking. This can be achieved using ceiling, under-cabinet or wall mounted spotlights. Adjustable spotlights on the ceiling or walls are a great option as they can be easily adjusted to shed light where you require it.

There are a vast array of under-cabinet spotlights to light your worktops, from concealed spotlights that are there to purely illuminate or something that makes more of a style statement like these satin nickel effect plate & frosted cabinet lights .If you are looking for the ideal lighting to fit above a kitchen island, a 4 bar spotlight in a finish to match your decor will look sensational and provide bright evenly distributed light.

Dining Room

In the dining room lighting plays an important role in illuminating the table and creating mood when entertaining. Spotlights should be centrally placed above the dining table and run the length of it in order distribute light evenly. A four bar spotlight or adjustable track spotlights are ideal, at First Choice Lighting we have a large range of four bar spotlights in a selection of styles and finishes to suit all palettes.
