How to Elevate your Lighting Game with About Space

Lighting is one of those things that, when done right, you don't even notice it, it just feels right—but when done wrong, it's so obvious and uncomfortable. Enter the importance of lighting design! In this episode, we chat with Jodie Meier from About Space, who shares why good lighting is about more than just picking pretty fixtures—it's about creating mood, balance, and functionality. Jodie explains the importance of layering light with a mix of task, ambient, and feature lighting to make a home feel warm and inviting. She also dives into the great warm vs. cool lighting debate and how downlight overload is no-go. Whether you're renovating, building, or planning your next project, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you think differently about lighting. Jodie shares why hallways deserve more love, how hidden uplights and wall washes can transform a space, and why planning your lighting early can save time, money, and frustration.
