As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences, but here are some tips for choosing the right lighting fixtures for a building's interior and exterior:
1. Determine the purpose of each space: The type of lighting needed for a space depends on its purpose. Consider whether the area needs to be well-lit for tasks, set a mood or create ambiance.
2. Consider the style of the building: Choose lighting fixtures that complement the style of the building, whether it is traditional, contemporary or something in between.
3. Evaluate the natural lighting: Consider how much natural light the space receives and choose lighting fixtures that will not conflict with natural lighting.
4. Select the right bulb types: Different bulbs have different brightness, color temperature, and energy efficiency. LED bulbs are typically the most energy-efficient and have long lifetimes.
5. Consider the color temperature: Color temperature is a measurement of how warm or cool light appears. Choose the color that reflects the mood and ambiance of space.
6. Opt for fixtures that are easy to clean and maintain: Choose fixtures that are easy to clean and maintain. Outdoor fixtures should be weather-resistant and have proper ventilation.
7. Follow local building codes: Follow all lighting recommendations for exterior and interior spaces in regards to building codes and safety regulations.
8. In some cases, you may want to hire an expert lighting designer.
