While decorating the
interior of a room give importance to every aspect of
the room-the lighting, the window treatment and the
light in the seating area. Do not overlook the effect
proper, elegant lighting can have on a room or the
fact that nicely done up windows can enhance the
beauty of a room. Here are a few tips on how to select
lighting and do up windows to add to the character of
the room.
Lighting
Ensure that the lighting in the bedroom is
softer than that in the kitchen and dining room. If you need
light to read in the bedroom use bedside lamps.
Install a small chandelier above your bed. It
will add to the style and elegance of the room.
Use chandeliers that are modern in style. Use
ones with a burned gold finish made with round crystals for
example.
Read instructions carefully before
installing. If you have a doubt then ask an electrician to do
it for you.
Select candle-bulbs made of translucent glass
as this will make the light look like real candlelight.
Small chandeliers can be used to add
character to any room.
Window Treatment
Measure each window before buying curtain
material, though windows look a like from far they may measure
differently.
You can take ideas from magazines, paintings
etc. and adapt it to fit your home.
Coordinate colors to match the rest of the
room and the décor in the room.
Use easy-care polyester. This fabric has a
fine finish that makes it look like silk.
Choose your window drapes with care as they
make a big impact on the way the room finally looks.
Seating Area Lighting
If your sitting room needs light a good
option would be to use a ceiling fan with a light.
As light ceiling fans come in different
styles find one that suits the décor of the room.
The light from the fan will provide enough
light for reading and the air provided by the fan will make
the room pleasant.
