SOME IDEAS FOR BETTER INTERIOR LIGHTING. Illumination has an enormous influence on our moods and therefore it means that getting the lighting right in your home is of paramount importance. Often lighting is overlooked as just a matter of putting in a few overhead bulbs. Correct lighting can change the mood in a room with just the flick of a switch. There are many considerations to be made when planning lighting for your home. Always try to create a balance between the light sources and the space available. For example, if one part of the room is over lit and another part is in shadow the overall feeling may be uncomfortable both physically and emotionally. Get rid of exposed bright lights as much as possible as they cause your eyes to contract and all around will seem much darker. Low or high voltage is very important. Accent a favourite feature in your home. If you light up paintings or pictures, a comfortable and attractive environment is created if you hide the source and light up the walls. You can put a variety of illumination at different heights to add interest and depth and this also enables you to adapt your lighting for different activities and times of day. Balance cold and warm light in each room. Use bright white halogen light for a clean modern look and Softone bulbs for a warm atmospheric feeling.
