| Lighting is everything. All right, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it cannot be underestimated when planning your timber masterpiece. Think of lighting as you would your investments: You want to have a mix of sources for the biggest payoff. In other words, don’t allow your kitchen to rely almost exclusively on recessed or task lighting. Give your living space a little of each type of light source by borrowing some of these great ideas. |
 |
| Never place lighting above mirrors in the bathroom, as it won’t be particularly flattering any time of day. Instead, use lighting on walls at either side of mirrors and ambient lighting (e.g., the recessed lighting used here). |
 |
| Mission style lighting teams up with natural light to give this bathroom a roomy, elegant feel. |
 |
| Pendant lights work wonderfully for task-oriented kitchen duties like food prep. |
 |
| Wall sconces provide a functional and aesthetic punch to any room, especially in hallways. |
 |
| A wrought-iron chandelier adds a special glow to this great room while a roaring fires warms and enhances the space. |
