Giving your home a new look this spring doesn't have to be long, involved, and costly. Electrical upgrades add unique ambiance-boosting elements that also draw focus to your home’s most special features. Use these ideas to inspire your creative vision before talking to an electrical contractor.

Creative Electrical Upgrades for Your Home

1. Pendant Lighting in Bedrooms

Create soft glows with unique pendant lights mounted in your bedroom or master suite. If you’re aiming for a contemporary look, try suspending a pair of bulbs placed in polished nickel geometric fixtures above the end tables on either side of the bed. For a minimalist industrial vibe, try a dyed bronze work lamp or rusted wire cage. Stained glass fixtures add a touch of old-world class, while options made from colorful recycled materials lend an eclectic flair to an otherwise neutral room. 

2. Under-Cabinet Kitchen Lighting 

Illuminate your counter space to make cooking prep work easier and safer. Under-cabinet lighting highlights specific areas, that may be affected by shadows from overhead lights. This electrical upgrade also allows you to leave lights on in the kitchen for a subtle glow when you’re hosting guests and need to access a sink or drawer, or for safety at night. Enjoy extra energy savings with efficient, long-lasting LED lights. 

3. Dimmer-Switch Bathroom Chandelier

Set the mood for relaxation by adding a chandelier with a dimmer switch to your bathroom. Whether you choose an option laden with glimmering crystals or a sleek, modern option, you’ll add a touch of glamour that will elevate your standard bath to a luxurious spa. The dimmer switch also helps create a romantic atmosphere for bubble baths.
