It's natural for a home owner to be dazzled by silver finishes, wildly colored lamp shades and expensive crystal decoration. It's easy to forget the large impact the light bulb hiding underneath all those frills makes on the mood of your home and the health of the environment. That's why GREENCulture presents you with a guide to help demystify the illuminating power behind your light fixture.

Outfitting your home with energy-efficient lighting is a smart way to help the environment while sparing your pocketbook from an unnecessarily steep electricity bill over time. Along with making ecologically sound light bulb choices outlined in GreenCULTURE's Bulb Enlightenment guide, there are other steps you can take to ensure you're maximizing your electricity.

Mood-defining lighting schemes can make a modern living room dramatic or add a soothing glow to a traditional library. Before running out to buy fixtures for your room, consider some key points. What is the room primarily used for, what style and mood are you trying to capture, what architectural features or objects do you want to highlight and where does functional (task) lighting need to be placed?
