In the past, the chandelier adorned the foyer as a bejeweled beauty who greeted them warmly by the door. Over time, it slipped quietly indoors to make a statement and how! Now the ubiquitous chandelier awaits its companions – the additional luminaires.
Why extra?
Just as variation is the spice of life, chandeliers are the spice of light. The chandelier is the unmistakable favorite for the middle piece’s position and focus for a room’s interior. Like the main course of a meal, it still requires “side dishes” to enhance its beauty and complete it. It must be backed up by other luminaires such as work lighting, accent lighting, track lighting and even a hanging light or two to produce the desired atmosphere and illuminate the dead areas.
Extra that adds
The available options for the included luminaires for the chandelier are good. Depending on the desired effect, you can choose between the different options. Each room can use specific options. In the foyer, floor lamps and spotlights could accentuate and add warmth to the foyer.
The living room could function as an activity room for the children and would therefore need lighting fixtures to meet this need. You can use floor lamps or side table lamps to revive corners. Spotlights and accent lights can be used to draw attention to all the artifacts displayed. Track lights and hidden spotlight s can be used to create drama with shadow and light.
The dining room can use some accent lights or floor lamps to enhance the ambient lighting from the chandelier.
The kitchen will require very mixed lighting fixtures to reach the light to all angles and taverns in the kitchen. They can be a mixture of under-lighting, work lights, track lights and even backlights.
The bedroom lighting can consist of some hanging lamps or floor lamps placed in the corner, a couple of side table lamps and work lamps for the desk if needed.
In the bathroom, hanging lamps can be used over vanities and accent or work lamps around the mirror to provide sufficient brightness.
Together with all these luminaires, the dimmer switches are a prerequisite for regulating the brightness of the light.
