Lighting; we all need it. When it comes to building your Yankee Barn home, you’ll be a step ahead of the game if you know where you’ll need lighting and what type of lighting suits your taste and the space. The choices in lighting are endless, so take some time to think about your layout and how you want it lighted early on in your design process. When building your forever home, there are many decisions you’ll need to make. A good way to ease into this exciting yet realistically, stressful, time is to know what you want in fixtures (or at least, have a general idea). Being “forewarned is forearmed” has never been more true than when building a home!
A Yankee Barn affords beautiful timbered spaces where lighting can feature the post and beam frame while also performing it’s designated task.

When it comes down to it, the great news about lighting is the types are not all that many. However, style of lighting is a different matter. So have fun with it. Make it work for you not only in the functional category, but also in the aesthetic category. Lighting is a great way to feature your home and express your personal style. ENJOY!
