Lighting is essential both inside and outside. It can enhance the mood and ambiance of any area. It
also makes rooms more comfortable and functional. Fortunately, there are several creative ways to use
light. Try them today.
Light Branches
Willow branches represent one of the easiest lighting solutions for decoration. These can be placed
indoors or outdoors depending on the occasion. In addition, they are usually available in battery
operated led lights, which can minimize the hassle of finding an outlet. During the holidays, you might
want to incorporate them in floral arrangements to add cheer and festivity to your interior. These
branches also look great in a backyard or as a decoration at a wedding.
Tea Lights
Another fun lighting option is tea lights. These small lights are great for events. They can be placed
on tables, walkways, and windows. Battery operated tea lights, in particular, are very useful because
they minimize the risk of fire and provide the same effect. Furthermore, many people use these lights
to create a romantic atmosphere. In fact, you can never really have too many of them. Try putting
clustering several of these small lights together for a great visual effect.
Chandeliers
In the home, chandeliers are a creative lighting solution that will easily enhance your décor. Many
homes are prewired for this detail. If yours is not, you can always hire a contractor to install the
chandelier for you. When you choose a chandelier, look for one that matches your personality and
décor. If you are on a tight budget, you can also make the chandelier or refurbish an old one. Either
way, this light will serve as a great visual for all who enter your home. Even better, it will enhance the
functionality of a room with poor visibility.
Another popular lighting choice for many is candlelight. Typically this light is preferred at romantic
occasions and fancier parties. It is also a great addition to a special dinner. There are a variety of
candles that will brighten the space and create interest. Furthermore, candles can be placed on
candlesticks or in bowls for an interesting visual. Floating candles are also very popular in the bedroom.
The light from fire can also create a fun indoor or outdoor space. In fact, many people get a lot of
pleasure running their fireplaces during the winter season. If you love fire, you can also install an
outdoor fireplace. In addition, many people light fire pits or tiki torches for extra light and detail in their
outdoor space. These lighting elements are perfect for backyard get-togethers.
Finally, it is sometimes fun to add pops of color to a space with the right lighting. You can do this by installing colored bulbs in your current lighting options. In addition, you can change the color of your lamp shape to create a different tint on the room. When using color, it is important to not overdo it. Instead, be selective about where you place the color. Try to accent pieces art or furniture with this type of lighting.
Try one of these creative lighting options today in your indoor or outdoor space. They can improve the
atmosphere and make it more interesting and comfortable.
I love the look (and SAFETY!) of the battery operated candles! I received one of them at BlogHer ’12 last summer and I loved how they set the mood and provided just enough light without fear of my kids knocking them over. Greatest little “invention”! Thanks for sharing!
