If you're redecorating, building or simply looking for a different way to light a room there are now lots of options for you to consider when lighting your home - but out of all of the ceiling lighting is your best friend. Most homeowners are now using celiling lighting as a way to really accentuate the unique features of their home. Some of the best methods to use are:

Recessed lighting is a great way to light a living area - unobtrusive and out of the way, it can be used for task lighting, general lighting and accent lighting.

For task lighting (such as lighting a specific kitchen bench or the stove) track lighting can work really well. Use fluorescent lighting for general lighting. It can really make up for a lack of daylight by providing a more ambient light than traditional bulbs.

Down lights work very well in a bathroom and any mirrors will really help to spread the light around - especially when coupled with a mirror light. Heat lamps are a popular and inexpensive way of heating a bathroom - especially important for Australian houses in the winter - that may not have central heating.
