Mood lighting is the latest trend in home decoration.
Lighting can affect the mood and look of the room and most
moviemakers and cameramen have known this trick much before common
people started paying attention to it. Fluorescent lights are too
bright and are thus, good for reading fine print or sewing purposes
and is often used in Operation Theatres. Thus, they lend a clinical feel
to the room. Warm and cozy bedrooms can use dim romantic lights
while you may like bright light in the bath to help you shave even more
closely. You may also like different levels of lighting in the
living room so that it can be brightly illuminated for a cheery
Christmas party or your kid's birthday but is tastefully dim when you
are trying to relax on the couch after a hard day's work in front of the
television.
There are many options available for lighting in homes such as
floor lamps, table lamps, canister lamps, recessed ceiling lamps and
don't forget to count natural sunlight that should be kept in
mind too and can be guided using mirrors. Then bulbs are of
different types too such as harsh fluorescent bulbs that emit blue
light, soft incandescent bulbs that emit red and yellow light and bright
yet soft quartz-halogen bulbs. Not only the color of lights emitted
by these bulbs are different but they emit different amounts of light
too. Bulbs of different watts can make a room look different while
switching a set of the bulbs at a time and another set at another time
may makethe look entirely different. Overhead fixtures above as shown in
the cowboy huts may make a room appear flat, while wall washers,
ambient lighting, accent lighting and up-lighting may make it quite
interesting and add dramatic and romantic feel to the room.
