Lighting your home.
People tell me that when they plan the refurbishment or their property in Portugal they often tell me that they are happy they chose to work with Castelo Construction on their homes in Portugal.
Because we remind them throughout the process of the things that they should be thinking about next. Very often the subject of lighting both inside and outside the home is not considered or ignored until we start to talk to them about it.
Usually people doing a DIY build or working with a Portuguese builder or architect don’t think about lighting and illumination until is late in the reconstruction process or too often too late in the construction process.
Lighting your home, Lighting is so often taken for granted. People automatically opt for the single light point in the center of the room which is rarely the best idea. To expand on the importance of lighting think about television and theater almost all of the atmosphere and tension is created by lighting the lead actors and performers are illuminated to help you understand that they are important and relevant.
Moving away from the stage to areas a little less obvious public buildings like your local town hall and even cathedrals are professionally illuminated by lighting designers to give the spaces impact.
You don’t have to employ a lighting engineer to paint your house in light you can create a warm homely effect of your own with a little research and planning. This enables you to build into the planning of your house the places were light fittings will go without causing mayhem when the house is almost completed.
