DIY Ideas For Lighting And Window Treatment
While
decorating the interior of a room give importance
to every aspect of the room-the lighting, the window treatment and
the light in the seating area. Do not overlook the effect proper,
elegant lighting can have on a room or the fact that nicely done up
windows can enhance the beauty of a room. Here are a few tips on how
to select lighting and do up windows to add to the character of the
room.
Lighting
- Ensure that the lighting in the bedroom is
softer than that in the kitchen and dining room. If you need light
to read in the bedroom use bedside
lamps
- Install a small chandelier above your bed.
It will add to the style and elegance of the room.
- Use chandeliers that are modern in style.
Use ones with a burned gold finish made with round
crystals for example.
- Read instructions carefully before
installing. If you have a doubt then ask an electrician to do it for
you.
- Select
candle-bulbs made of translucent glass as this
will make the light look like real candlelight.
- Small chandeliers can be used to add
character to any room.
Window Treatment
- Measure each window before buying
curtain material, though windows look a like from
far they may measure differently.
- You can take ideas from magazines, paintings
etc. and adapt it to fit your home.
- Coordinate colors to match the rest of the
room and the décor in the room.
- Use easy-care polyester. This fabric has a
fine finish that makes it look like silk.
- Choose your window drapes with care as they
make a big impact on the way the room finally looks.
Seating Area Lighting
- If your sitting room needs light a good
option would be to use a ceiling fan with a light.
- As light ceiling fans come in different
styles find one that suits the décor of the room.
- The light from the fan will provide enough
light for reading and the air provided by the fan will make the room
pleasant.
- Add a dimmer to the ceiling fanlight.
