Choosing the right light fixtures

When you're selecting light fixtures to add to a room in your home, you should consider the rest of the furniture or decoration in the room. For instance, if you have antique pieces or artwork in a room, a light fixture that reflects the same type of style is best . If the room you want to add the light fixture to is filled with contemporary art and furniture, modern light fixtures in more of an abstract or spotlight style may compliment the room best.

Be as original as possible when selecting room light fixtures. Fixtures that are in different shapes, like pieces of fruit, plants, or even animals can add a unique touch to your room that you probably won't find anywhere else. The more space the light fixture covers on the wall will determine how the light is dispersed throughout the room, so keep this in mind when you're deciding whether you want the room to be dimly or brightly lit. For instance, light fixtures with more of a chandelier style to them will make the light in a room spread a little more evenly, and large fixtures that are closer to the bulb will make the room slightly dimmer.
