By Jeanette Riggs


Planning a new house takes a lot of time and some serious considerations. One has to consider how big you want it, where you want to build it and of course how much you can afford when building it. This is a costly exercise and one should take care to spend your money wisely. This has to be an investment for life and you need to make some big decisions, such as selecting where your light bases will be going.

Although this may seem a little daunting, it is exciting at the same time. The mere thought that everything regarding the house is up to you means that you have to be clever when making some big decisions. That is why it is important to get some professional advice when it comes to things that you are a little unsure of.

It is a good idea to have some vision as to what your house is going to look when it is completed. One should have some kind of picture as to the end product. For many people this is very difficult to do and to make this easier, architectural consultants are available to produce drawings of such projects for you to visualize.

As the owner of the house you will be responsible for absolutely everything in the house from the way the doors open to the positioning of the stove, the fittings, the position of the basins, toilets and showers and even the switches. This is why it is so important to think carefully when specifying details in the plans.

When it comes to the lighting of the house there are many things to take into consideration. Lights play a very important part in the house. Should you not pay attention when positioning them in the plans, you will land up with poor lighting which is not pleasant. One needs for a house to be well illuminated at night time so that you are still able to do various things such as read and work. You also want to make sure that the lights are positioned in such a fashion that they are not in the way.

There will be many styles of light fittings to choose from for the different parts of the house. Usually for the kitchen, one wants at least two long fluorescent lights for perfect illumination while cooking at night. The brightness will be determined by the wattage of the globes and one will obviously have to go for a high wattage in order to get clear light.

When choosing fittings for the bedrooms, one should take into consideration that you may want to do some reading at night before you go to sleep at night. Therefore you will need a practical fitting that will give off enough light to read comfortably. One will have many such fitting to choose from and here you could be a little more adventurous.

When planning your house, it is also important to have the exterior light bases are strategically positioned. Generally it is acceptable to have a light at the front door so that you can see if anyone is there. One will also usually want a one where the vehicles are parked at night so that when you come in when it is dark, you could see what you were doing.
