Today we are talking about lighting!!! Ambient, direct, LED, halogen, low-voltage, florescent, along with my favorite table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, sconces, and more. There should always be multiple sources of light in every room. Generally it’s a combination of ambient and direct lighting.
Treat a light fixture as if it were a piece of art.
Show it off, don’t go for drab, when you can opt for fab!
Edison bulbs are so much fun. They add an unexpected industrial touch to a home. They don’t give off very much light, so make sure it’s not your only source.
LED and Longevity lighting: Due to its long life and energy efficiency, LED light fixtures are so popular, and here to stay. Color is important! 3000K is a great color for most applications. It’s a nice white light, but not too bright. 2700K gives off a bit more of an yellow glow, while anything over 3000K is brighter and whiter. Fun Fact: Tiffany and Co. has custom made 4100K LED strip lights to highlight every sparkle of their jewelry.
