Lighting: Lights play a very important role in accentuating the glam quotient of your home. You can replace regular bulbs and tube lights with fancy ambient lights and LED panels which lend a classy look to your home. Chandeliers, sconces and acrylic lamps can also be installed in various parts of the home, which add a touch of elegance using indirect lighting. Photo Credit: Boa-Franc/Flickr
