Luminous Lighting

Lighting plays such an important role when you are creating a living space.  As you may know there are many different types of lighting yet I love to work with lamps especially. 

When I am in a home I often evaulate the lighting especially in the living and family rooms.  Very often there is insufficient lighting for a space. One of my pet peeves is floor lamps that shine all of the light upwards to highlight the ceiling instead of casting the light downward to light a particular space. 

 

I recommend using a soft pink or warm white light blub in your lamps as they reflect a warmer color of  light versus a harsh bright white which is hard on the eyes. 

Be watchful of your lighting in your rooms. Take into consideration what you want the light to cast upon.  Have fun switching out lampshades from your various light throughout your home.  Enjoy some of my favorite finds.
