Decorating With Light
Posted By: Matthew
After all of the decorating is done and all of the furniture has been bought many people belatedly turn their attention to lighting. Unfortunately, at this point it might prove difficult to find lights that properly do justice to all of your hard work. This might be due to some suppliers not having a wide enough range of home lighting, or it could be that the design in your house simply doesn’t afford much scope for effective lighting. At The Lighting Superstore, we have a myriad of different lighting options including both ambient and spot light fittings to help you develop an aura that truly brings life to your home. While you might design with natural light in mind, the look of a room can take on an entirely different life during the evenings and at night. Choosing lighting features wisely will help you to create a relaxing evening atmosphere as well as one that performs admirably during the day. Many people who have recently redecorated complain that their houses have a Jekyll and Hyde personality, with the evening look falling short of expectations.
The Key To Decorating With Light Is Variety
We have an extensive range of lights, but it is always best to plan your lighting features before you start the decorating process. Our site contains items that can send your designs in creative new directions and could yield a far greater impact than you ever thought possible at night. For instance, the kitchen is a particularly tricky room to properly illuminate - you need it as a workspace, which requires a powerful main light, but many also desire some form of mood lighting for when not in use. Fortunately, this is an eminently possible feat to achieve, particularly with LED and Halogen undershelf display lights. We have a wide array of options that each have elegant designs. Take the 10180 Cleo Undershelf Light. The pyramid shape will fit seamlessly beneath your cabinets to add a generous amount of spotlighting to the worktop below. The IP20 low voltage ensures maximum safety while the Satin Nickel finish creates that premium look. If you have already decorated and furnished your kitchen, removable kitchen light fittings like this are a versatile option.
Ceiling Lights
Your main lighting option has to be reliable, since it will enable you to work safely in the kitchen. When cooking, it is never sensible to rely on spot or mood lighting alone. Our EL10085 Low Energy Ceiling Light is a great option since it has two 28W T5 fluorescent lamps that will yield around 12,000 hours of life. This is a Class 1 light that will require Earthing for maximum safety. Choosing a main light is where the most forethought should be when designing your new kitchen. Understanding what level of illumination it will provide and where the shadows are going to be cast will really help you to make the most of your redecorating. The stylish bowed design in this enable light to emanate from all sides of the lamps, providing excellent all round illumination.
