What is Ambient Lighting? - 0 views

  • When creating a lighting scheme for a home, there are thousands upon thousands of different styles and types of light fixtures to choose from. Some manufacturers even label light fixtures as ‘task,’ ‘general,’ ‘outdoor,’ ‘accent’ or ‘ambient.’ However, this leaves many homeowners stumped: what is ambient lighting and can I use an ambient light fixture for something other than its intended use? What is ambient lighting?
  • Another type of ambient light could include paper or plastic lanterns in which the entire bulb is concealed. 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. Ideal locations for ambient lighting include the living room, bedroom, foyers, hallways and corridors. It should be noted that as always, ambient lighting should be mixed with other types of lighting to create an overall light scheme.

How To Guide: Lighting a Living Room - 0 views

  • Dual Purpose Light Fixtures That being said, you should keep in mind that you don’t have to have light fixtures for every different issue in your living room.

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. When picking out these home accessories, you should also consider picking out just the right lighting to go along with it.

  • 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.
