Lighten Up! Interior Design and Home Decorating Lighting Tips
“Tips to help you select the perfect light for your room.”
Part II
Before you choose a light, you may want to know some basic terminology used in selecting and measuring light. Four terms or units of measurement of light are footcandles, candelas, lumens, and footlamberts.
FOOTCANDLES:
Footcandles (fc) is the amount of light hitting a surface. Specifically, one footcandle equals the illumination produced by the source of one candle falling on one square foot of surface at a distance of one foot from the source of light.
The amount of light (or fc) that a space should have depends on the task to be performed in the illuminated area and the age of the person using the space (as we age we typically need more light to perform certain tasks). For example a dining area may only require around 10-20 footcandles, while in the home office you may want 100 footcandles or more.
CANDELAS/ CANDLEPOWER:
Candlepower describes how intense light output will be in a certain direction or at a specific point. Candlepower distribution curves are available from most lamp manufacturers and can help you determine how to ensure that the appropriate level of brightness is delivered in you room.
LUMENS:
Lamps are typically rated by manufacturers in terms of lumens, or the amount of light output from that lamp. Lumens are also used to measure efficacy (the amount of lumens produced per watt of electricity consumed). One of the reasons many people switch from incandescent bulbs to fluorescent bulbs is because the fluorescent bulbs have a higher efficacy (they produce more light).
FOOTLAMBERTS:
Much of the lighting in a space is actually contributed by light reflected from a surface. Footlamberts (fL) measure the amount of light reflected from a surface. If you want to get really technical, (fL= fc x % reflectance). For example, if 100fc reach a wall or table that is painted with a 40% reflective surface, then 40fL will reflect from that surface.
Regardless of what type of home you reside in, whether it be a condo in the city, an apartment on the edge of town or you simply just want to decorate the smaller rooms inside of your home; interior design can be a challenge in this type of environment because of the limited space and options. However, you can still maintain a sense of style without requiring a large area of space, because essentially it is only one room that you are decorating; right? If you keep things simple and organized, home decor selection for small rooms can be easy!
If you take the right design approach, you can simplify the decorating process and make it so that the room seems larger than it really is, once the process is all said and done. Focusing on organization and storage will help you create an atmosphere that is not only functional and elemental, but also very structured or random depending on which way you wanted to take it. In some cases, randomness in room construction can make for an interesting design process.
Take into consideration the following when preparing your plan for the room:
A small room must have plenty of lighting because this really helps to visually open up space. If it is possible, consider a built-in lighting structure such as track or recessed elements. If this is not a possibility or is overbudget, use small accent lamps to light up the corners.
Coordinate your palette and the room will come together by itself. Keep in mind the above mentioned techniques and just have fun with it!
5 Ways to Decorate With Moroccan Home Lighting
When decorating, it is important to note that home lighting is an integral part of your home decor. Too dim lighting can dull even the nicest interiors whereas lighting that is too bright can make your interiors look too loud. Conversely, great lighting pulls your home interior together. Indoor and outdoor lighting are as decorative as paintings and vases. If you want a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, the ambient lights of Moroccan home lighting will do that for you.
Home Lighting Moroccan Style
Moroccan lanterns provide home lighting that makes an already richly decorated room vibrant and warm at the same time. For rooms that are sparse on decoration, a lantern or two can provide a look that distinguishes your room and gives the appearance of much more decor than there actually is. The larger lantern designs provide a warm welcome to guests when you add them to your patio or porch.
Moroccan star lamps may be hung up virtually anywhere and everywhere. A spectacle for the eyes, these lights have myriads of points and light up like the stars in the sky. They can be hung all over a ceiling at various heights for added effect or be hung as one or a pair in a strategic place. Moroccan star lamps are increasingly being seen in commercial settings as well as in private homes. Adding a Moroccan lamp to a vaulted ceiling in front of a high window in the front of your home makes for a stunning entrance.
Wall sconces are instantly impressive with their colored glass and warm lighting. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They look great whether you purchase several of the same color and style or choose to have several in a rainbow of colors. Many of these are made to match with lamps. When shopping for wall sconces, look for sets of Moroccan lighting if you wish to keep to the same color families.
Small to medium Moroccan lamps look elegant when placed on desks or on tables. Floor lamps can be purchased to match up with these or other types of home lighting. Moroccan floor lamps vary in shape and size from tall pyramid shapes to lamps that curve, catching the eye and adding a whole new dimension to your home decor. They may also be rounded or come in a more conventional shape with beaded lampshades bringing something unique to even typical decoration.
For an extra eclectic look, purchase different styles of Moroccan lamps and lanterns and place them all around a room. A curvy floor lamp, two or three sconces and a couple of lanterns combined with Moroccan style paint on the walls, earth-colored tile on the floors and mosaic end tables are perfect for giving living areas sophisticated pizazz.
You will never see such variety as that you will find with Moroccan home lighting. The accents of lanterns and sconces containing bulbs or candles are perfect for a romantic evening.
Decorative outdoor lighting for your porch or patio may include an exciting combination of large and small lanterns as well as wall sconces. Whether you choose round, half moon, pyramids, curves or star-shaped lighting, your home is sure to stand out with class and panache. Moroccan lighting is as versatile as it is beautiful.
Home Decorative Lighting
Decorative home lighting consists of many layers of lighting sources including display, general, accent, chandeliers and table lamps.Indoor decorative lighting should enhance the interior features of a home without overpowering the general, functional lighting required for daily living and home security. Within the home’s interior, decorative lighting should focus on accentuating key elements of interior design and distinguishing works of art and specialty displays with an aura of significance. Interior decorative lighting should also be used to support positive emotional states by complimenting special activities, celebrations, relaxation, and home entertainment. Lighting control systems and dimmers are important elements of interior decorative lighting because they allow for multiple themes and effects to be created with a single group of fixtures.
Because the interior lighting design of a home contributes so much to the essence of a person’s unique, individual lifestyle, lighting designers should begin their work with a careful assessment of the home’s existing décor. The dimensions of a room and its respective furnishings should be studied to locate patterns of symmetry, pattern, and color. The height and nature of the ceiling is also very important because it can function as both a direct lighting and an indirect ceiling lighting source. Not only can it function as the source of general overhead lighting, but it can also work as a source of indirect home interior lighting. Decorative cove lights and rope lights shine their light upward to the ceiling, which in turn reflects it back down the walls and into the room in an ambient wash of color and light.
It is a good idea to treat fine art, specialty display and architectural custom lighting as a separate science. Decorative lights for collectibles and fine art require special fixtures, lenses, and lamping configurations to effectively light the subtleties of fine oil paintings, rare antiques, and special edition collector’s hardbacks. Decorative lights for fine art must also have special UV and infrared filters to protect oils and canvases from the harmful effects of invisible light. As a general rule, retail picture lights do a very poor job of dissipating heat and should be avoided. We recommend using either recessed halogen lights with UV filters or a specialty art projector for advanced filtration and adjustable, optical effects. Display lights also need to be adjustable in order to balance with general lighting in the room. The best display lights are typically linear light strips with Lutron wallbox dimmers that allow light levels to be controlled at will by the homeowner.
Decorative indoor lighting also plays a role in highlighting activities and establishing a positive state of mind. Every home has certain rooms that are used for special tasks, and other areas used specifically for relaxation and entertainment. The den or bedroom is a preferred place to read. The kitchen is a place for social gatherings and festivities. The bathroom is the mainstay for personal grooming. The home theater is the place for high-tech escape from the mundane drudgeries of society. These are but a few examples of what we mean here by activities that create mindset, and they are familiar to almost every American. Every one of these locations is also prime real estate for interior decorative lights. LEDs are excellent home theater lighting and supplemental reading lights, and they use only 20% the electricity as incandescent fixtures. Cabinet and under cabinet lights in kitchens can cast a special glow over the countertop for a cooking demonstration, birthday party, or wedding celebration. Cove lights in living rooms, foyers, and kitchens can shine light up the walls wrap around the edges of the ceiling, replacing dark shadows with ambient fields of radiance.
Lighting controls of some sort are essential to every home’s interior decorative lighting system. To maintain overall aesthetics and avoid overpopulating the house with fixtures, a minimum number of actual lights should be used. A specialized electrical contracting firm such as ILD to install both the lights and a home automation, lighting control network pays off in many respects. It Spartanizes the system with a less is more approach to equipment, and it overlays multiple themes and effects onto a single set of fixtures that can be controlled at will with wall mounted dimmers and remote wireless hand held controls.
