subject: Lighting Options That Will Set The Vibes And Feel In Your Home [print this page] Light has been a key element in our lives since the beginning. It has given us a world filled with sensory delights and has provided us with many aspects of its nature that captivate us. Whether the light is bright or dim, the fact is light helps us to see what is around us. It casts shadowy figures on walls and floors, and has been an everyday source of enjoyment and pleasure.
In the beginning, the only form of light there was in the world was from natural resources in the sky; the sun, the moon and the stars. After some time, we discovered fire and eventually electricity. Lighting these days gives us many more choices and can make our environment and surroundings more pleasing to the senses.
As stated, the lights in the sky, and mainly the sun, have been our original sources of light since the dawn of time. The amount of this light that enters our homes can be controlled using shades and window coverings that block out a good portion of the light during daylight hours.
Unless you live on the open range, you will find that you are limited to the amount of light that is let into your home during the day. Even if you have windows facing in every direction, there is still only so much light you will get from them. This is when other lighting options come in handy to give us the light we need during the after hours.
Fire is one of the first alternative sources used to light homes and this was in the form of a candle. Candlelight has a way of illuminating a room that creates a mellow mood and provides a soft gentle glow as the flame dances in the air.
It can create a mood and atmosphere unlike other methods of lighting that give us a sense of peace and relaxation.
The lamp is the most used lighting source for the home today. With the advent of electricity, many varieties and styles of lighting have been created to give people more choices as to their lighting needs.
One should experiment with various lighting options to choose the best one to fit their needs and room decor.
