Need a
little more light in your life? See for yourself
the difference that light bulbs and lamp shades can make with a room's
mood. Check out these bright ideas from
RealSimple.com.
Type Cast In the bathroom, use overhead lights to get
rid of shadows; sidelights flanking the
mirrors are perfect for makeup application.
In the kitchen, overhead lights brighten surfaces. In the bedroom, try cozy tinted, low-wattage
bulbs to give a candlelit, romantic effect.
To create a grand atmosphere in the dining room, use a chandelier. Place one directly over the table, but make
sure to measure the ceiling height and table height before making a
purchase. Indirect lighting - in all parts
of the home - sotfens spaces. Small
table lamps or wall scones can also add a subtle glow.
Safe and Secure Use ambient lighting to brighten the exterior
of your home. Motion-activated or timer-equipped
lights can ensure your home's exterior is well-lit in the evenings. Don't go too dim or too bright - no need to
attract intruders, nor bother your neighbor.
