When it comes to creating ambiance, lighting can make all the difference. But while these lights can be both beautiful and functional, there’s a world of creative possibility with lighting you might be unfamiliar with. Here are some creative ways to use lighting to make a lasting statement.
Pendant Lights for Reading
While a table or side lamp are conventional choices for reading, why not opt for a pendant light instead? Find one that can fall from the ceiling at the optimum reading level. It’s not only a creative lighting technique but also offers up space for more books or other knick-knacks at home.
Light as Art
To make your walls stand out, how about using light as a work of art? Both functional and beautiful, lighted fixtures grouped in a specific manner can truly bring a room to life. To create dimension, hang the lights at different heights along a wall. Depending on the space available, there’s plenty of scope for experimentation!
Statement Bathroom Lighting
The bathroom is an often-overlooked space when it comes to lighting. Lights typically aim to be functional and come installed at specific locations accordingly. But bathroom lighting can be so much more! Try installing a chandelier to elevate any bathroom. It works perfectly as both ambient and statement lighting. Choose lights with flattering tones instead of LED lights, despite their efficiency.
Floor Lamps for the Win
Just like reading lamps, it’s time we reimagine how to use floor lamps in a room. Choose a lower than usual low lamp with a unique structure. Structural floor lamps not only illuminate the task at hand but, when done right, can provide fabulous ambient mood lighting. They’re also beautiful in themselves as décor items to fill an empty corner, next to seating, or beside a shelf.
