Lighting Sets The Mood

What makes a room inviting and welcoming? I would have to say that it is the lighting. A good lighting in any room helps to create that mood that you are rooting for: relaxing, intimate, calming, friendly, or light and cheery.

If you are planning on creating a mood in your own home, a good place to start is at the entrance hall of your home if you have one. Putting up wall sconces could just very well give your guest that warm welcome without having to find their way inside your home. Remember that a house entrance wall should be well lit so that your lighting should be enough to light up the entire corridor.

Another area in your house that could use some lighting is the bedroom. A bedroom should have different options for lighting. Installing dimmers or bedroom wall sconces help give your bedroom that amount of light that you need. With various designs to choose from, you can even coordinate your lighting design according to your bedroom's style. Going for a rustic look? How about putting up bronze wall sconces in this floral design?

It would look perfect on your bedroom wall. There's even a coordinated chandelier or a flushmount that you can install in your living room to complete the look.

Many of us fail to realize the role that good lighting can provide. But yes, lighting does make all the difference.
