Lighting your home can be a challenge. How do I allow enough light to penetrate my rooms but still maintain a level of privacy so that I am comfortable day and night? You can approach this problem in several ways. I decided to approach my lighting issues functionally. Ceiling fans are great places to add light without spending a fortune. I bought new ceiling fans and attached the lighting fixtures now available that match perfectly. You can find good decorative ceiling fans that give you the ability to add as much light into the center of the room as you desire. My second suggestion is to use 'Window furniture'. Making use of shutters and shades gives you the ability to increase or decrease the amount of light coming into your room from the windows. Sun beating down can damage your carpets, furniture, and drapes. You will see warping and fading over time. Window shutters provide a good source for custom-tailored window fashions. You can easily increase and decrease the flow of light by deflecting the light source. Shutters are made from inexpensive, as well as, higher quality materials. I plan to visit Atlantic city Shade Shop located outside Atlantic City, New Jersey for all of my needs. They are a local company with a wonderful motto "No Job is Too Big or Too Small". |
