Lighting Up Your Life and Your Home

The correct sort of lighting can make a big difference to the ambiance of a room. Finding the right the first is quite easy really, once you know what you need to watch out for.

Here are a few recommendations on finding the best ceiling light which may enhance your décor and well as give you the right type of lighting for that room.

Points To Consider


The height of the ceiling can make a massive difference to the perfect lighting for any room. You will be able to select a hanging light having a chain suspension or a pendant which hangs quite a distance from the ceiling if the ceiling is 8 feet high or more. Before making your purchase, the measurements of these fittings do not generally include the chain so think of that.



When the ceiling is slightly less than 8 feet however you may be better to choose a semi flush fitted light fixture. This kind of light doesn’t have a chain but may be suspended by a rod or mount.

In case your ceiling height is lower than 7 feet 6 inches however you really should consider a flush light fitting. There are many flush light fittings to choose from that make a nice centerpiece for the room.

Before you even think of choosing a light for your ceiling remember to study the height from it first - it can save a lot of headaches for the taller members of the family.

Referring To Style

The next thing you need to take into consideration is the style you wish to achieve at home. Do you want something contemporary and modern or something more traditional? Do you are now living in a modern property with an Art Deco vibe or a traditional farmhouse which dates back several decades?

 



Try to keep the style of light fittings the same as the styles of your entire furnishings. You have to choose a light fitting which fits in nicely with your home and not something which is super trendy just because it is the newest fashion. Trends and fashions come and go but a nicely chosen light fitting can blend in nicely to your home and also be an attractive and functional feature for lots of years as opposed to becoming out-dated and out from style.

Have You Thought About The Size

To set it plainly the general dimensions of your light fitting will determine how much illumination will shine down into the room. A chandelier with three lights will almost always be considered a smaller fitting than a five lighted chandelier so remember to check out the diameter of any fittings you fancy.

Diameter is really a thing to be taken into consideration. A mild fitting with a larger diameter will have the bulbs spread apart further and emit the light further into the corners of the room. Larger rooms need larger light fittings as a general rule to hold more light bulbs and emit more light.

The amount of illumination you have in your room is down to personal choice and is also determined by just what the room is commonly used for. Whereas you may be satisfied with a gentle, soft and subdued lighting in the bedroom you may prefer to have brighter illumination in the living room for when you want to learn or take steps else which requires plenty of focus.

because it's time to catch up


Last year, our life as parents became even more challenging than the previous year. We had to work doubly hard to be able to provide for the needs of our daughter. We also made some important career decisions that would later benefit our little pre-schooler.

I know I've been on blogging hiatus for several months already but I look forward to become more productive again when life would already give me the right balance.


For now, I just have to be content with whatever time I have for this writing/blogging hobby of mine. Blogging about our life as parents (and sometimes on other stuff) gives me an opportunity to preserve some important memories and events that I would later show to my daughter when she's old enough to read and understand them. I want her to know how proud I am for having her as my daughter. And even though we could not always give her what she wants, we will make sure she is provided with all that she would need to become a better person one day.



Just last month, she celebrated her birthday. We couldn't believe we're now dealing with a 6-year old. Oh, where did the time go?
