Perfect Light Fixtures

To make a space more intimate
Use several table lamps to create a cozy glow. Make sure they have shades in colors that are warm rather than cool, such as alabaster, pearl, parchment, or ivory instead of white, so the light they cast has a mellow tone.

Window treatments
Window treatments have a huge impact on light and can be used to manipulate the mood in a room. Translucent drapes which filter natural light and produce a diffused effect, come in many weights and should be chosen with regard to the property. Slatted blinds offer optimum light control, ranging from total transparency to full screening and also create dramatic patterns of light and shade they are opened at various angles.

More than one light sources
If there are several light sources in a room and you are unhappy with the overall effect, change the bulbs, which may be too bright or too dim for their surroundings. If a light fixtures or lamp emits too much glare, replace its standard bulb with a reflector bulb.

Changing the light in a room
To change the lighting in a room, change the shades in a fixture. Translucent materials allow more light into a room, which makes it seem brighter, while darker shades can glow softly when the light is turned on, lending drama to the space.

To imbue a space with color
The purpose of doing this is to create a specific mood. The way to do it is to bathe a white wall with a washer fitted with a colored filter. Before doing this, research the psychological effect of the intended color. Yellow is cheery hue that promotes feelings of well-being and increase efficiency. Blue is a soothing hue that calms nerves and induces sleep. Red is stimulating and dynamic and enhances the action wherever it is used. Green is a harmonious color that reminds us of nature and can be warm, refreshing and earthy. Purple can be calming or exciting, depending on whether it leans more toward blue or red.
