Some Tips On Creative Light And Modern Furniture
If there is a large piece of furniture like a uniquely designed sofa, or a console or cabinet, use back-lighting with staggering predominance to highlight the furniture. Ambient light and LED strips can be positioned behind or underneath to create just enough glow to accent the piece rather than wash it out.
Pendant lighting that hangs for your enjoyment over the illustrated plate is ideal for your dining area. Particularly for Diwali, warm-toned pendant lights and stunningly designed pendant lamps are some of the other options available.
Built in wardrobes, wall art elements, decorative wall shelves, use of spots and the focus on these zones will enhance the festivities. This concept does such a great job of accenting the smaller furniture to the elements in the space making the space feel more effortless.
A floor lamp can be an innovative addition when folks or cuddly sections are being emphasized in the house. Position a warm toned decorative floor lamp close to an armchair or sofa creating a soft touch to the space.
To achieve a certain dramatic effect, apply LED strips underneath the tabletop. This effect is suggested for any surface materials where the edge is not visible from below, creating the effect that the tabletop is suspended in the air and has a mesmerising quality to the living space.
Fairy lights are recommended for use during the festivals of Diwali and can be hung over practically any piece of furniture with ease. Outline the edges of mirrors, a mirror, a console table, or the bed's headboard with these strings for an extra festive touch.
Diwali without candles would be incomplete. Let candles be the centerpiece that form clusters on the side tables, console tables, or even the top of a bookshelf. A mixture of sizes and types will create layers and interest.
Most of the time cabinets and display units remain unnoticed but with the integration of accent lighting, they can become the star of the show. Add strip LED lights around the borders or place tiny lamps in the cavities of glass-door cabinets that display crockery or trophies or other collectibles.
Replace the stoles of table lamps with diwali lamps for a more seasonal appeal. Opt for lampshades that have traditional colours or other geometric patterns like brocade and paisley.
Tuck them near doors, on side tables or even near the couch to bring in a rustic traditional flair. Buy more ornate as well as handcrafted metal or glass lanterns that create stunning shadows when lit.
