These lanterns typically do not produce enough light to be used as a main light source, but they do produce an even glow that is typically expected and desired when looking to create and include ambient lighting in a light scheme.

Mirror Mirror…On The Floor | homestilo - 0 views

  • This floor mirror helps expand the sense of space in this small dining area and enhances the lovely hanging light fixture over the table. Choosing a mirror color that is similar to wall and/or curtains helps the frame blend with the other elements in the room. If you want a bigger impact, paint the mirror a color that contrasts with other colors in your room.

    We have one in an unusable corner in our living room. It adds light and life to an otherwise blah corner. Light fixtures of all kinds look beautiful when their light is reflected in these massive mirrors. One word about propping up a floor mirror. If it is a heavy mirror or you have small kids running around, you may want to attach the mirror to the wall with a brace or a hook to keep it from falling over.

Accent Lighting for Wall Art - 0 views

  • Depending on the size and location of your wall art, you may be able to use wall sconces to highlight the piece. Upward pointing or downward pointing wall sconces can both work well for highlight wall art.
  •  
    Few areas of home decor are as intriguing as the wall art a person has chosen. However, few people choose to properly light their wall art (or even realize that their wall art needs to be lighted to begin with). The combination of home accessories and decor, color palettes and various furnitures are completely worthless without proper lighting.

DESIGN my heart out: guest post: Brilliant Hues - 0 views

  • Brilliant orange chairs pop against the aqua of the beautiful wallpaper in this SF dining room. Love the clarity of the orange; it has a lot of white in it.

    My focus today is on brilliant hues, those colors that zing with intensity, adding energy and style to a space. These intense colors can have a big impact in a room so if you aren't feeling brave and bold, use them as accent colors in decorative accessories or lighting fixtures.
