Home furnishings and decorative lighting goes hand in hand when it comes to decorating your home, as they are two important aspects in home decor. Decorative lighting with different colors are a perfect way to get a desired effect for your rooms. When lighting is done in a proper way in coordination with other home furnishings, it conveys warmth and intimacy and creates the right atmosphere. Decorative lighting has tremendous effects on our rooms as they are helpful in making the rooms look larger or smaller, like if your room seems extremely narrow then its better to wash one wall with light to visually expand it. And if you want to look your room smaller, try to light up the ceiling with hanging lanterns.
When we talk about home decor, living room comes first to our minds. So here is a guide on lighting up your living room:
- Placing a lamp in the corners of your living room, specially if you place them with similar designs and patterns, will give ethnic touch to your room.
- Highlight a decorative scenery or a framed piece of art with halogen track lighting or by attaching a picture light.
- Display shelves can be illuminated by using accent lights.
- To bring out beautiful wall textures, using a dimmer will be perfect.
- To highlight displays or to provide a soft wash to a wall, slim strip lights will serve your purpose, as they come in any length and can stick to the edge of shelves.
- If you want to make your home look romantic, then don't forget to light up a candle.
