For her next suggestion, she shared the lighting layout that can improve your home.
She said: “Don’t stick to just one type of lighting, you need three, overhead, task, and ambient.

Finally, the interior design enthusiast advised her followers to give lighting “the attention deserves.”
She explained that your home’s lighting “can make or break a room’s vibe.”
