Lighting All Areas And What Do Your Ceiling Lights Say About You

Lighting is a huge subject to cover as not only does it include the many different

type of lighting fixtures there are to choose from, it also includes natural lighting and the effect this has, and not to mention accent lighting, task lighting, ambient lighting and so on and so forth. The topic of lighting can get a little complicated. Here is a look at the main different headings for lighting that all lighting fixtures come under.

Task - task lighting means that in a particular room lighting fixtures are placed for particular tasks. Kitchens are more task heavy than say your hallway. The more task heavy the room is the more lighting there needs to be to accommodate for these tasks. It is no good having only a low light in your bedroom because sometimes you need to do work in there, get ready, read a book and so on.

Ambient - the ambience of a room is created by the use of light. Using different lighting techniques you can create many different moods and atmospheres depending on the occasion. In a romantic setting candles are best used with low lights in the background, a friendly dinner party works well with wall lights and lamps, work heavy occasions such as study dates or project meeting requires a main light with a work lamp, and so on.

Natural - natural lighting is one the cheapest forms of lighting because it's free and it's the most beautiful. Try and incorporate as much natural lighting into your home as possible, it will open up the space and make it feel light and free.

Accent - you can focus attention on certain features in your home with accent lighting whether it be a piece of art, a sculpture or a plant. Focusing the eye on something beautiful in your house will give you're home a sense of beauty all round.

What Do Your Ceiling Lights Say About You

There are many different types of ceiling lights on the market today and each style has their own unique character which says a lot about you and your home. Ceiling lights are not usually the first things that people notice about your home when they walk in but subtly they do reflect a style and this will mirror your personality. For example spot light ceiling lights are very modern and contemporary, they do not take up any space and they give off great light. Generally speaking spot lights are fitted with a dimmer switch which can create different moods which is also smooth and modern. Ceiling lights such as spot lights says that you are very current and in with the times, like no fuss style and are good at maximizing your space with great lighting. These types of ceiling lights tell a different story than say a crystal chandelier.

Crystal chandeliers as ceiling lights show that you like extravagant style and you like expensive things. Chandeliers from history were only seen in homes of wealth and this connotation has not been lost to this present day. Crystal chandeliers look fabulous in big hallways and dining rooms over the main table. Having chandeliers as ceiling lights tells people you have certain style which is more traditional than spot lights but is more classy and sophisticated.

Other factors of ceiling lights which will show a lot of your personality is the colour, the style, whether it is designer or not, and the shape of it. Square and straight lined ceiling lights give a different impression than lights that are shaped and round. Straight lines usually give a more rigid feel to a room and round shapes are softer and lighter, which in turn will say something of your personality. Brightly coloured ceiling lights show you are bright in your character, whereas darker colours can mean you are more subdued and reserved. All these little factors speak out about your personality and the mood of your home and so be sure your ceiling lights are being true to who you are.
