• First and foremost, keep your windows as clean and clear as possible. Just cleaning your windows can improve transparency by as much as 20%.

• When decorating a room, take into consideration the direction of the room. South and west facing rooms receive plenty of natural light. So if you're decorative taste calls for darker colored window treatments, paints and furnishings, consider these rooms first. Use lighter and more transparent colors in east and north facing rooms to further maximize on the limited amount of natural light these rooms receive.

• In general avoid using dark and heavy curtains and drapes. Instead consider energy saving window treatments such as cellular or honeycomb shades. These treatments actually reduce costly heat loss and heat gain better and there considerably more transparent than dark curtains and drapes.

• Switch to energy star certified CFL light bulbs. Start with the most used light fixtures through out the house. Bedroom lamps and living room lamps generally make good choices.

• Every CFL light bulb is not the same. They come in different shapes and sizes, some types are designed for certain type of light fixtures. Knowing these differences will maximize the energy efficiency of your home lighting.

• CFL light bulbs are efficient because there designed to use considerably less electricity (measured in watts) to produce the same amount of light (measured in lumens). When making the switch to energy star light bulbs this must be considered. For example, replace a 60 watt traditional bulb with about a 13 watt CFL bulb.

The wrong lighting can quite literally trash all the effort you've put into designing the look of the room because lighting is the part which adds ambience and emotion, and without that you end up with a very lackluster feel. For example, if you get the lighting just right you end up with a room that feels warm and welcoming which adds great appeal. With the wrong lighting you can actually make a room feel horribly dark and depressing which is something that appeals to know one.

Now the good news is that you have no end of choices when it comes to lighting as you can use fancy ceiling lights, table lamps, floor lamps and different ceiling and wall fixtures which can be placed at just the right angle to give off exactly the right feel for the room. Many people actually just use a combination of table lamps and floor lamps to get the same effect as you don't need a complicated setup to get the right lighting effect.
