Decorating Tip: Make Your Lighting Unique

Knowing the maximum wattage a fixture is able to use is important.  Most newer fixtures will tell you on the the socket the maximum wattage that can be used.  If unsure, always assume a lower wattage.  Decorating Tip : Using a unique bulb style is a simple way to personalize a lighting fixture.  There are multiple bulb styles to choose from that will customize the look and style of a fixture, particularly when the bulbs are exposed.

 Edison Style Bulbs

From small flame tip candelabra-based bulbs to Edison-style medium base bulbs, making a unique selection allows you to add your own personal style to each fixture.  Installing a dimmer control is extremely helpful and will allow you to control the level of light in a room.  A dimmer switch allows for dramatic lighting levels.  Having this control also increases the functional flexibility of a space, allowing you to use the space for multiple activities like homework at the dining room table or a romantic dinner for two.

“Lighting is a key element to me in my own home and in all of my projects. I consider the main light fixtures before I even begin to look for the furniture. I consider lighting as important as the flooring, which is where I usually begin the design process!”

Lovely Luminous Landscape Lighting

Spring has sprung and it is time to turn our focus to the outdoors.  My irises bloomed over a week ago and I have a list of outdoor projects that will surely keep me busy all season.  One of my projects is to install some additional landscape lighting.

Designer Amy Albert has a few pointers to help you choose the right lighting for your landscaping.

“Consider the architecture of your home when you're choosing landscape light fixtures, so the style is appropriate to the period, scale and design of your home. It's often nice to repeat a motif, material, or color in the house to blend the structure with the outdoor fixtures. In most cases, you want the light to highlight a feature in your garden not draw attention to itself. For that reason, fixtures made with natural materials, nature inspired colors, and organic shapes are particularly well suited. When choosing a fixture, consider too how it will look when exposed during the winter months when there is little plant growth.” ~ Amy Elbert
