Spring and summer are the seasons of different repairs, reconstructions, remodeling of our houses. Every time we think about any renovation we think about changing the whole interior or just a part of it to create a new look or at least a feeling of it. Most of the times it requires a lot of time and money and usually we do not have any of them. Here are some tips how to change your room using just a simple lighting fixture.
One can notice that the interior lighting influences the mood, comfort and coziness of the room. Just one lighting fixture is capable of creating the feeling of a medical establishment or the cozy place for relaxation with a cup of coffee and a favorite book.
The main idea today in choosing the right lighting fixtures for your house is - "Do not just follow the traditional rules, where the main chandelier is always located right above your dining table, and your wall sconces in the master bedroom are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the bed". Be creative! The tendency today is the creation of many accents, both mobile and mounted, combination of direct, dispersed, and reflected lighting.
Decorative lighting plays also a very important role in finishing of any interior. You can use several sources of light in one room - it can be a floor lamp, table or wall lamps, different spotlights and track lights. Just direct the light to the most beautiful details of the interior - a niche in the wall, a vase, a sculpture. One more trick - to add some enigma to the room, mount a spotlight to the floor to enlighten a certain object on the wall. This idea came to us from the ancient times, when the torches were hidden behind different niches, walls, stones.
And finally, some general recommendations from the designers of Casa Di Luce showroom:

1. In order to visually enlarge a room, light up the walls to a maximum extent. While painting or decorating, use the materials with a high coefficient of reflection.
2. If you want to make ceilings look higher, direct the light of your fixtures upwards, if, on the contrary, you are not satisfied with your high ceilings mount the chandeliers on the ceiling with the light downwards. The ceiling will appear dark and will not attract attention.
3. To visually widen the hallway, it's recommended to mount several wall sconces along one wall. It's a big mistake to install lighting fixtures in the middle of the ceiling along one line; it will narrow the space of the hallway.
4. Remember, dispersed light creates the feeling of comfort and coziness, so try to use it in your interior.
