How a home is lit affects the utility bill, the comfort, and the mood. When creating a lighting plan consider talking to a lighting professional. They can discuss different lighting opportunities for a building. As with all decisions, energy efficiency is as important as aesthetics and performance, although the former does not have to come at the cost of the latter.

The more doors a home has, the more opportunity for serious waste of material and energy.

Door options include solid, hollow, reclaimed, or composite wood, and several kinds of plastic and metal.
