lighting
Provide balance. Ultimately, it’s important for a room to have some natural interplay between light and shadow, as the highlights and lowlights are appealing to the eye. Nobody likes the look of a super-bright big-box store with perfectly even lighting in harsh fluorescents. Add lights to brighten up dark corners, but don’t go overboard. A few shadows just mean your space has depth, and a sense of life, that makes it feel like a home.
Update lightbulbs. Besides adding actual blue, you can also choose to update your lightbulbs to a brighter output and a cooler “daylight” color tone. Warmer, yellow lights, such as the ones seen here, create a beautifully warm, intimate atmosphere, but if you’d prefer a brighter and fresher look, try a “true white” bulb.

renson 18 Lantern Although it's a bit difficult to tell from a distance, the glass of this lantern is netted — referencing a time when factory lighting was netted for safety. The thick mouth blown glass is wrapped in a handwoven wire fabric, creating unique swirls and striations in the glass itself.

I really like the design of this Quadralli No. 331440 Linear Chandelier. It would look great in an Arts and Crafts interior but would be equally at home in a contemporary or traditional setting. Each bulb is surrounded by scrims of white crepe and shimmering organza, lending a softness to the light that's instantly alluring.

With an elegant Art Nouveau-like flourish, the George Kovacs P294 Wall Sconce adds a great artistic accent to a wall as it doubles the illumination of a standard wall sconce. At either end of the fluid-looking silver-plated stem, two lights glow underneath the black fabric shade. Provides superior lighting and charm into any transitional or soft contemporary interior.

Decorative lighting can be used to highlight architectural features. Without the additional lighting around this fireplace, it's just a large stone surround. The downlights around the firebox strengthen the contrast between the smooth and rough surfaces, while the uplights on top feature the graceful curve of the entire structure. added by Shane D. Inman to 8 Artfully Asymmetrical Fireplaces Lighten up. Accent lighting above this firebox is situated against the back wall to create a scalloping visual effect. The indirect lighting at the top of the fireplace points upward and spills onto the ceiling. Tip: Designing the fireplace in the same color family as the adjacent walls allows the lighting to become the focal point.

But times and lighting have changed, and these days, I prefer to install an LED lighting strip on both sides of the cabinet. That way, each shelf can glow, as shown in this photo. Hide the LED strip behind the cabinet’s face frame. If it’s a frameless cabinet, embed the strip in a prepared groove in the cabinet’s side wall.
