Setting The Right Mood, When Designing Your Living Room

Are you in the process of redesigning your living room but don’t where to go next? Are you trying to cultivate a specific look but struggling to achieve what you want? Have you thought about the lighting you might use to accentuate your new look living room? If you haven’t – you really should start carefully considering it. Despite the fact that lighting accounts for 70% of a room’s overall mood and essence, many people still don’t give it too much thought when redesigning rooms in their house.

Lighting is everything. It can change a room in an instant. It can be warm and cosy or bright and stimulating. It can be pure and clinical or it can be fun and vibrant. Lighting can be anything and everything you need it to be. You’ve just got to know what you want from it first. Here’s a guide to setting the right mood when designing your living room.

Go Multiple

According to FreshHome.com, multiple light sources are a great way to mesh decoration and functionality. This technique works particularly well for living rooms because they’re such diverse spaces. Just think about all of the different activities that can be carried out in a lounge or living room – watching television, reading, resting, board games, eating and much more. Why not opt for a signature floor lamp beside a favourite couch or reading armchair? Or perhaps you could have a bright, main ceiling light and then two or three more atmospheric wall lights dotted about the room.

Think About The Transition From Day To Night

When it comes to choosing the right lighting for your living room, you must keep in the mind the transition from daylight to evening time. If you choose the wrong light bulbs, you’ll end up watching your evening soap operas in either total darkness or piercing white light – a thing which most people agree should be avoided. Don’t just install functional lighting – atmospheric lighting must have its place in your living room too. Recessed lighting can be great for the transition from day to night, especially if it’s got dimmer capabilities. Recessed lighting is fitted every so slightly further into a wall than standard lighting, giving it a softer, more soothing effect, say the experts at PressRelease.com. This type of lighting tends to look superb when used to accentuate a modern, contemporary living room.

Lots Of Lamps

Lamps can be a great way to light your living room. They’re small, fairly inexpensive and they can be placed almost anywhere. A good way to create ambience in a room is to fill it with a variety of interesting and unique table lamps, because they double up as accessories too. Plus, you can utilise as many or as few as you like at any one time. If your living room is decorated in a very modern, contemporary fashion – stick with minimalist designs that feature lots of chrome, grey and black. If your living room is a little warmer, however, you can most likely get away with filling the space with lots of different, contrasting pieces. Coloured bulbs look great when used with pretty, interesting desk and floor lamps, says the eBay guide to lighting.

Wall Lights Make A Room Larger

If you’re cursed with quite a small living room that tends to look cluttered, it can be a good idea to try wall based lighting. Wall lights make a room appear larger, especially if they’re fitted above the level of your furniture. This is because they create the illusion of different zones and spheres within a room, visually extending it and causing it to appear wider and longer.

Home Decor - How Industrial Glass Can Glamourise Your Home



Decor is a huge part of any building, but still a lot of them look the same; following the same boring styles and colour schemes. So why not change it up a little? Add a little bit of industrial privacy or decorative glass to your home. It will certainly be unique.

Privacy Glass

You may think that this glass is reserved just for businesses and enterprises, well it isn't. Specialist privacy and intelligent glass is a fabulous and practical feature to include in your home . If your living area and dining room merge into one you should consider installing a privacy glass partition, as with the flick of a switch you can create the illusion these two rooms are separate. It is fabulous if you are trying to have a romantic meal with your partner and desire a little privacy. Because it is transparent the majority of the time it will not cause your room to look small.

Decorative Glass

When we think of glass, we usually just think windows. Glass can actually be so much more than just a tool that enables you to see outside from the inside, it is actually a beautiful form of interior decoration. If you are serious about innovative interior design you may want to consider a decorative and intelligent glass feature in your home or business.

The Dream Glass Group offers a range of decorative glass ideas that you can use for inspiration in your home.

Uses of Decorative Glass

-       Gorgeous splash backs. The kitchen should look as glamorous as any other room in your home
-       Bathroom cabinets. Your bathroom should look and feel luxurious, when the light bounces off glass it is nothing short of beautiful helping you to feel completely relaxed
-    Stairs and stair flights as coloured stairs that glisten under bright lights, are perfect for a funky, futuristic home
-       Flooring designs. Create your very own disco-inspired floor
-       Glass partitions and room dividers are great when you desire privacy
-       Tables, bedside tables, glass counter tops. A modern material for creating a sensationally stylish home.
-       Decorative glass windows as this shows the outside world how utterly fabulous you and your taste are.

Marvellously Modern

For a gorgeous, clean and undeniably chic look, you should consider a glass flooring design in your living room. Place the coffee table on top for a really innovative and beautiful effect. By using glass on the floor you are marking out sections, like a rug, but it is a lot more glamorous and makes the room appear larger. You can even have objects installed beneath the glass for a really exciting and unique interior. This feature feels wonderfully cool against your feet in the Spring/Summer months but don't worry it is not uncomfortable or unusable in Winter either.

The Dream Glass Group are intelligent glass specialists who specialise in privacy and decorative glass. If you want your home's interior design to stand out against your friends or neighbours adding a glass feature will definitely do the trick.

Bring Your Home Up to Date with Shabby Chic

Some home trends come and go but experts predict that the trend for shabby chic is here to stay  and one of the best things about it, is that it can be incorporated into a wide range of decors. So whether you have a modern studio flat or a Georgian terraced house, there's a place for it.
Suitable for most rooms

Just take a look online at websites selling shabby chic and you'll quickly see that furniture is produced for most rooms. You can find:

* Tables for the kitchen or dining room
* Side tables, chairs and footstools for the living room
* Wardrobes/ottomans for the bedroom
* Cabinets and drawers for the bathroom
* Hall stands


Colour choices

White or ivory/cream tend to be the most common base colours for shabby chic furniture but if you shop around, you can pick up other colours such as baby blue or light pink. If you want shabby chic painted furniture to fit in with an existing colour theme, it should be easy to find something in white or cream with finishing touches in the colour you are looking to match.

Like most things, shabby chic can be over-done so don't make the mistake of filling your house with it. Just one or two carefully chosen items can brighten your living room and give it a fresh feel. If you would like to add a few little extra touches, consider adding a shabby chic mirror or picture frame and then choose some co-ordinating soft furnishings such as cushions, rugs or throws.

Accessories in very dark rich colours such as burgundy or chocolate brown can provide a striking contrast against white or cream chairs or table.


Take care where you buy

Sadly, given the fact that shabby chic furniture is meant to look  well, shabby  many inexperienced people have dabbled in the market. That's not really surprising since it is easy to think that anyone can pick up a piece of old, battered furniture for just a few pounds at a charity shop and give it a rough lick of paint. You can then label it shabby chic and sell it on for a good profit.

But nothing could be further from the truth. There really is a lot of skill needed to produce a piece of furniture that looks the part without looking downright tatty or cheap. Like many skills, the experts just make it look easy - but it takes a lot of work and skill to achieve the finished result. It's also vital to use the right type of paint for the job. For example, if you are buying a storage stool for the bathroom where steam is a factor, an item created using the wrong type of paint will soon begin to peel.

So it's important that you buy your shabby chic painted furniture from a reputable retailer, such as Apple Blossom to ensure that you are buying a quality item.
