Maybe they came with your home. Or you installed them to save money. Either way, flush mount dome lights (commonly referred to as “boob lights”) aren’t the most attractive or most desired lights for many homeowners. Upgrading light fixtures is one of the easiest ways to improve your interior design, and our friends at Lighting Design note there are some big advantages to replacing the flush mount dome lights with more stylish alternatives. Here are the four advantages Lighting Design cites for replacing these outdated, unattractive fixtures.
1. Increase Home Value
Lighting Design and other experts note that upgrading home lighting can increase your home’s value by improving the overall impression of your home and make buyers feel more welcoming. In fact, according to research by lighting manufacturer Vonn, adding LED recessed lighting could add between 1% and 3% value to your home.
2. More Lighting
A typical flush mount dome light comes with 1-2 bulbs. Other flush mount or semi-flush mount fixtures come with three bulbs, which will increase the lighting in your room. There are also several options with an open concept or clear or seeded glass that allow the light to spread around the room more easily.
3. Mood Improvement
Studies have shown that home lighting affects your mood and overall wellbeing. Brighter lighting can have a positive impact on your mood. Plus, the aesthetic appeal of upgraded lights can also create a happier environment for you.
4. Aesthetic Appeal
Speaking of aesthetic appeal and mood, having great-looking light fixtures can greatly affect how you feel about your space and home as a whole.
