Lighting -Home Decor Accessories - Accents
Lighting is important in a dark corner where reading is done. Floor lamps work well for this and can be placed behind a chair for better results. Choose lamps that can adjust to different levels of watts in lighting. That way for when someone is not reading then the smaller wattage range can be used to lighten up the corner.
Lighting can also play an important part in your decorating theme. Your home can be filled with all kind of accents but when it comes to the lighting you may want to extend your theme to your lighting. Also having chandeliers, lamps - floor and table can create a lovely atmosphere in your home.
There is quite a general impression that house-decoration is not an art which requires a long course of study and training, but some kind of natural knack of arrangementa faculty of making things "look pretty," and that any one who has this faculty is amply qualified for "taking up house-decoration." Indeed, natural facility succeeds in satisfying many personal cravings for beauty, although it is not competent for general practice.
----Color In Interior Designing----
Colors makes decorative shapes easy to see. (For the character of the colors and the principles of their effective combination the reader will find much useful information in the Color Harmony and Design in Dress included in this series.) Art, Nature and books will all help the interior decorator in the matter of color adjustment. Trim in most houses compels the adjustment of the color harmony to suit it. In general white paneling calls for the use of one warm and one cool color, while dark brown or black paneling needs two or more warm colors.
----Proportion With Designing Interiors----
All parts of a furnished room must help express one ideal of balance. The realization of this ideal is proportion. A horizontal room calls for horizontal furniture and lines, a vertical room for vertical ones. Every important decorative feature of a room must be selected in accordance with its proportion in general. The size of a room increases the form scale (or scale of the forms) represented by furniture, pictures, rugs, etc. In every room the important individual pieces, such as library table, piano, bed, dresser, must parallel one or another wall. Do not violate proportion and artistic effect by overcrowding.
