Whether decorating a new home, or redecorating the one you have, consider lighting an essential part of the plan. It's more than practical; it can make the difference between wanting to spend time in a room or avoid that same room althogether. Think about how you feel when you walk into a room with stark overhead lighting. Sure it's bright, but the room is not inviting. Consider your favorite rooms, whether in your own home or someone else's, and you'll find that lighting defines the mood. It adds character. Charm. So, what to look for? Find lighting that complements the decor. For example, an elegant decor may suggest a chandelier with prisms that catch the light and sparkle like diamonds. You can add a dimmer switch to adjust the light, depending on what you are using the room for. A whimsical decor may suggest a figural fun table lamp or torchiere. The lamp itself may have bold, bright colors, but because the light is emanating from a different direction than overhead, it's not as harsh. Period lighting is just that.... lighting that defines a certain time period and brings you back to that particular era. Think outside the box. You may not have thought about using sconces to light your room, but sconces are perfect for leading you through a dark hallway, or adding light to a bathroom. The possibilities are endless.
