Has anyone re-done their in home lighting? How can you go about getting a design?

I own a crappy starter home. It gets relatively poor light and the can lights they installed I find hideous. Plus because of their size I think they cast the wrong light in the house (too strong, not diffused).

Has anyone went on a quest to re-do lighting? Is that an interior designer type thing or how have you went about getting a consult on something like this? Obviously hits multiple trades: electric, drywall, design

Replace any old incandescent or even worse fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs at the temperature you prefer (e.g. warm at 2700K, white at 4500K). Then use LED compatible dimmers.

Adding under cabinet LED strip lights can sometimes be relatively straight forward.

Doing DIY projects is going to be a lot more cost effective than hiring someone.

Redoing home lighting starts with assessing your needs, consulting a designer or using online tools, and planning layered lighting. Replace harsh can lights with diffused options like pendants or dimmable LEDs, and add floor lamps for flexible, cozy ambient lighting.
