Ceiling feeling: Consider the age of the house and intrinsic architectural features. A statement chandelier works with high ceilings where the room proportions can take a bold piece. But with a low ceiling, a pendant feature light makes the room appear more cramped. Play safe and mix recessed spotlights, table lamps and wall lights which work well regardless of ceiling height.
To hang or not to hang: The current fashion for pendant lights hung in clusters shows no sign of abating. Tom Dixon¡¯s Beat lights from Leigh Harmer, look fabulous hung together at slightly different heights over a dining table. Add colour with Verner Panton¡¯s ¡®Flowerpot¡¯ lights. The ideal height for lights over a dining table is 90cm above the surface.
Dimming down: Don't over-estimate the importance of dimmer switches which create the right mood for differing occasions. Bedroom lighting needs to change brightness so you can do your make-up, read a book in bed or turn the lights down low for a more romantic feel. For maximum impact with minimum effort, snap up a dimmer switch remote control from John Lewis.

Highlight by spotlight: Got a special painting or decorative mirror? Position directional lights to lead the eye to a focal point. Discreet spotlights alone can be a harsh way of lighting a space, but work well if directed on to a statement piece. If your work of art is glazed, use this swiveling eyeball light from Inspired by light.
Think ahead: What is each room for? The living room may be used for entertaining, reading, watching television or just simply relaxing. A system which allows you to pre-set scenes for each work mode is both simple and efficient ¨C one button for entertaining, one for cooking light, another allowing brighter light for working. Scene lighting systems from Inspired Dwellings can be retro-fitted to existing lighting circuits without the need for a complete re-wiring of your house.
Don¡¯t go black: The darker your paint, the more light it absorbs. But do use darker paint colours in a small study or den to create a cosy, warm feel. Use lamps and one main pendant light to cast an ambient glow. This reading light from Oka can be angled away from your face to prevent a harsh glare.
Ghostly hour: Your lights can also have a better memory than you; a ¡®holiday¡¯ mode remembers every light movement from the last two weeks and mimic the pattern while you are away on holiday. Check out Inspired Dwellings for more details. One main switch can turn on every light as you come home. Shop the UK's largest selection of ceiling lights
Twinkle twinkle: Decorative lights do little to illuminate but bring a pretty intimacy. Fairy lights, light boxes and 1970s inspired fibre-optic lamps are a style statement rather than a source of light. The orchid fairy lights from Red Direct add charm to a bed end or mirror.
