subject: Home Lighting That Exudes Warmth and a Cozy Feel [print this page] There are various types of home lighting fixtures that we can use to fully illuminate our homes. There are chandeliers, wall sconces, ceiling lights, track lights and recessed lights among the few. With all these lighting choices available, sometimes it can put us to downright dismay to see homes settle only for one set of lights inside their residences. Perhaps, you have encountered entering homes with beautiful furniture. But no matter how fantastic the furnishings are, turning on the ceiling lights only gives the room a clinical look. It takes away any warmth and cozy feel that should be felt within the home.
In order to achieve the best lighting that will give the home a warm and cozy feel, use different layers of light. The dining room, for instance, is a great place for the family to gather, dine and talk about. To provide general illumination, you can install a chandelier above the table. Since dining requires only subtle lighting, equip your chandelier with a dimmer so you can control the amount of light that floods in the room. To supplement the light coming from the center, install wall sconces on either side of the Last Supper painting that you have or whatever artwork you have installed in the dining area. You can also use recessed and track lights to direct beams towards your sideboard and buffet table. Your China plate collection can be put on marvelous display by placing under-cabinet lights on your China cabinet.
Using a layered home lighting scheme, the dining area of the house can be given an amazing luminance that exudes warmth and a cozier feel. This is done in great deal and perfection inside most luxurious restaurants. The perfect blend of different sets of lights creates such a great ambiance. You can also employ this same strategy inside your home. Using the layered home lighting technique, it's not only your dining area that will be transformed to a luxurious and comfortable beauty. All the different areas in your home will be afforded some warmth that will make you truly say you're home.
