Chandeliers have that wonderful ability to engender the feeling of elegance and warmth to wherever they hang. And since the lighting of your residence is a fundamental ingredient, it makes sense to use it as a way of creating, augmenting and embellishing the ambiance in whichever way you decide. We talk of people "lighting up" with joy and we all immediately know what's being talked about. Well arranged lighting will automatically give life and verve to the reception rooms that you want. You can adjust the lighting like ingredients in your favorite dish. Subdued light creates restful settings; different colors set different moods. You can have fun choosing the kinds of lighting that you feel comfortable with. If you think you need to encourage certain aspects of your individuality, your personality, see if you can decide how to co-ordinate that.

You slowly get the feel that, by molding these aspects to your needs and wishes, you're becoming at one with your surroundings. Consider the old saying, "Your home is your castle". Actually castles are like statements of unbeatable strength - resisting outside intrusions. So let warriors choose castles as they may wish - with their dungeons of decaying enemies. This is so far from the reality of the world many of us live in. Shouldn't your dwelling be a reflection of you, of what is important to you? - So why not make it that way! Let's all lighten up.

Some of the nicest ways of enriching our lives is to ensure our senses are in touch with joyous objects. Chandeliers have raised the moods of all who gaze on them for many a century. They come in such a huge variety that you're bound to find some that just fit. If you go for one of the larger imposing models, make sure that it's what you really want. Maybe you won't want it on all the time as your principal lighting though. It's good to keep options open such as have matching wall sconces with different light switches, so it's you again choosing how you set your light - your scene.

Crystals have their own charm. It's always been that way. People even heal themselves with them. Wherever you see clear or colored crystals, it catches your eye with its own magic. They are the womb of rainbows and give birth to joy and mirth! Who got it right by combining those together creating the ever enchanting crystal chandelier? We can also get it right by bringing in these qualities to our lives, enriching our environment, enriching ourselves. Well, it's only a thought. But that's the reality we live in. In the mystic realms of our unconscious, we create our world. The world isn't in any definable way, it just is. It's us that add our reality to it by covering it with our words, our senses. Why not add the reality we want. Taking control of your lighting makes sense from the most fundamental to the downright practical.
