Lighting is generally one of the last items to be added to a room. In truth it should probably be one of the first, since proper lighting will serve to increase the function, drama, and style of a room.
Aim for a mixture of lighting types when redoing a room. Add recessed lighting, undercabinet lights, uplights, chandeliers, and table lamps to create a range of lighting options.
