Design Dilemma Lighting

Create lighting for the mood

8 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Lights can create a different emotional feel for every space, by adding warmth for chilling or having a tinge for energy and productivity as well as being an inviting and comfortable area to have a conversation. It also can be used to accentuate a statement piece such as a sculpture, painting or designer piece of furniture, as well as being a cheap and effective way as a renovation idea but more importantly; a conversation starter. Post a photo of a way you have used lighting in your house to change a room's atmosphere!

Those concealed lights under the bench is definitely a conversation starter but just imagine the electricity bills..

I have a white IKEA floor lamp with warm light bulbs. It gives off a gentle ambience.

I would get rid of that pendant. Here's one link to industrial pendant lights http://www.houzz.com/industrial-pendants Pick a light that you like and show it to your landlord. I bet she/he will say yes to your suggestion since pendant lights can easily be changed. In fact, if there's already a really secure junction box there already i bet they may even go with a ceiling fan light combo if that's what you really want

Artificial turf! The green (they come in different colours, too, if you'd like to be psychedelic) adds a lively pop of colour to a blah space, and they're designed in easy-to-install tile-style units that have some built-in drainage for minimal maintenance. Absolut Outdoors and Green Turf can tell you more :) And I'd hang an outdoor art piece or a screen for air plants on that blank wall, too, to enliven your balcony.

Constance and the Creative Mind Design team, you've done an amazing job in restoring a heritage house, and shining a light on a precious family story! The original house is clearly well built for the environment: large overhanging roof, windows tucked neatly under. Love the rusticated exterior and the big arches in the porte cochere too. Haunted only to those who don't know the story! I also love that the original house has been updated to serve the needs of the current, without forgetting the past. Those pink mosaic tiles and wrought iron grilles fit in very nicely in the new house. The airwell seems to bridge the new and old worlds perfectly too.

The use of ambient lighting combined with spot lighting in Singapore is still very understated but so much can be done with it! Choice of lighting colours also make a huge difference in the feel of the room e.g. cosy vs stark..

You do not need to spend a lot to create the right ambient in your room. In fact, I love this Three Venus Table Lamp designed by Vito Selma. It casts a beautiful shadow on the wall and environment to create a cozy feel.
