Your home decor lights will help brighten up your interior spaces with decorative lights. You can choose from fairy lights and centre pieces with LED lights to backdrop curtains with LED as amongst many other decorative lights.
the lighting used in interior decoration is significantly different to regular lighting in that it is mostly used for decorative purposes rather than illumination. These includes chandeliers, pendant or sconce lights.
Pendant lights
Pendant lighting is malleable. It works as an Italian spotlight for underexposed rooms. Set décor teams these lighting fixtures in kitchens, dining rooms, and living spaces – whether singularly or as part of an installment. Mix and match pendant lighting with table lamps or other pieces to keep the aesthetic interesting, colourful and vaguely inspired by art.
The shade – be it an ancient Belgian chandelier or an Ikea pendant – must be treated with equal consideration as the fit. Metallic fixtures with shiny finishes are more graphic; glass lets in more light and seems softer and more ambient.
The Burke Decor collection of pendant lighting will add life and elegance to any home’s décor, whether it’s a contemporary sculptural style or more traditional pendants. Many of the pendants will wire directly into an existing ceiling lighting junction box, without any unsightly cords!
Floor lamps
Their ability to draw the eye up the wall gives them a decorative advantage, as well as softening the shadowing that corners and alcoves tend to produce. Floor lamps work best on either side of a sofa. A single one looks impressive on an occasional chair.
Floor lamp styles come in all colours, designs and dimensions making them a great accent light for any design scheme. Keep your decor in a classic tradition with a classic torchiere or arc floor lamp or go ultra modern with a modern floor lamp.
Some floor lamps might have a shelf or a platform located at the base of their pole, designed for storing lightweight objects, such as keys, wallets, ornamental items, books or books for bedtime reading. You’ll be able to find the shades that fit various any moods you’d like to experiment with.
Fairy lights
Cherish fairy lights not only in the branches of your Christmas tree: use them at any time of the year to create a relaxing feel to any room of the house, especially those bedrooms that need softening from harsh overhead lighting.
Fairy lights come in batteries and plug-in sets – both are nice for saving electricity in any given room. If you use plug-in sets, you might want to buy a timer, as these usually drain batteries.
When stringing fairy lights back and forth on a wall, you’ll want to hang each strand 5 in (12.7 cm) apart to ensure even coverage throughout your room. Do not use a nail or thumb tack if your walls could not stand up to them, adhesive might be better.
Art lights
Art lights can add a touch of style to any home, highlighting any framed artwork, photographs or other items on your walls. These lights are simple and quick to install, and you are able to move the light without the use of any tools to turn it on or off. This makes art lights very simple to use and adds a sophisticated feel to any home, as well as a touch of beauty and character.
As you make your lighting decision, remember to bear in mind not just proportion, but also balance of an aesthetic nature. For best results, pick lights that span about half to two-thirds the width of your work so that, while the glare is diminished and subtle, the effect is still completely symmetrical.
LED bulbs are also good choices for efficacy and longevity – the pervasive and often problematic incandescent bulb has had its day. Along with its drastically lower energy usage, the LED bulb creates minimal heat – good for artworks in the long run, and further conserves energy for the customer when paired with dimmers or occupancy sensors. Bulbs with high CRI (colour rendering index) ratings should be selected, too.
