Proper lighting adds aesthetic sensibility to your home. If you wanna use light fixtures as one of the decorative items for your home, then here are a few ideas of how to use decorative lighting to enhance the artistic look of your home and create a welcoming atmosphere for your visitors. Hallway: Decorative sconce enhances the walls of your entrance hall. Small rectangular sconces with open tops or bottoms are ideal for casting a cozy atmosphere and add a subtle glow to your hallway. If you wanna increase the brightness, light up the foyer with decorative swing wall lamps which distribute bright light without glare.   Living room: Highlight the fireplace or entertainment place in your living room using a pair of wrought iron indoor lamps. These boost the room’s central focal point. Enhance the mantle or bookshelf with one or two small table lamps.

Bedroom: Make sure that you place a desk lamp or a floor lamp in your bedroom.

Guest room: Your visitors will experience your hospitality if you add light their room with swing wall lamps and sconces.

Lighting in a home reflects the lifestyle of its residents. You need to create a lighting plan to compliment the treasured decorative elements of your home. Follow some home lighting tips and create a welcoming ambiance! Light up naturally: • Allow the natural light to flow into your room. Replace heavy curtains with window shutters or blinds for uninterrupted natural light.

• Place a mirror near or opposite the window to make the room seem larger. It also reflects light around the room making it brighter.    

• Paint your walls and ceiling with lighter shades of blue, lilac etc.

Artificial lighting: • General lighting: Ceiling-mounted fluorescent rings or tubes in plastic casings are most commonly seen. Florescent lights do a great job of lighting up large areas but the white light emitted also makes everything look bland and lifeless.

• Decorative Lighting: Their sole purpose is decoration. Decorative lights like colorful lanterns will look good even when unlit.

• Task Lighting: These lights help you accomplish tasks like studying, reading, and sewing, while minimizing eye strains. Desk lamps with adjustable arms are best for positioning lights exactly where you need them.

Light affects how you perceive spaces and the items within them. Good lighting creates a cozy and inviting space in your home.
