Plumen




Why can't an energy efficient light bulb also be pretty? These bulbs are pretty good looking... I wouldn't mind putting them up in my house and my projects! Who needs a lamp shade when you've got a good looking light bulb like this!?!

Kids Room Lighting Ideas

Kids Room Lighting 

Kids Room Lighting

When planning the interior in the kids room, it would be better to let your imagination and create a unique environment where your kid can relax, play and learn fully. Kids room lighting is an important part of it - not to overlook not just buy your favorite lamp, your kid cartoon.The first thing you should consider is how much time children spend on the floor. Play, write your pet or just sit - almost everything that made the floor

Therefore, the lamp that hangs from the ceiling and sprayed bright, direct sunlight is not very suitable. Hand-assembled inside the wall lights irritate infants. It is better to use light, reading type, but with higher stand or wall lamp. If you opt for a wall kids room lamp, it is best to be with matt or semi-shade. If prefer reading kids lamp with a higher stand, you should consider two things: kids have a tendency to grab anything and could easily push it. This requires putting it on the spot at which it can not happen and you must make sure that the lamp shade is covered and the kids can not throw objects inside it.

If you do decide to use direct kids room lighting hanging from the ceiling, we can give you the following recommendations:When choosing a chandelier for the kids room, aware that its normal size are not suitable for her. Should seek specific - small.Another option are balls of paper with different size and color. From the ceiling of pressed paper obtained interesting visual effects, and the kids room has enough lighting. They, of course, and are uniform in size. It would be interesting if you are ranked on different levels. Try placing them in different corners of the kids room. This would also allow for a different atmosphere there.

You can make a thematic kids room lighting. For example, if your kid is interested in space, aircraft and spacecraft, turn the ceiling of his room in the sky. Use kits with phosphorescent stars and planets. In addition, it will be a beautiful and fun, they will act comforting the child at night when lights are doused. Look for kid's lamps in the shape of an aircraft or spacecraft. Can not find a similar kids lamp in our stores?

If you have decided to discuss with your kid lighting in the room and you want it to actively participate in his election, perhaps it is better to buy ceramic lamps that painted together (this is easy with water paint).Reading kid lamp is essential for any kids. Often children are afraid of the dark and need light remains on. So should not be too strong to not disturb his sleep. The key to it is easy and convenient place for the kid .

No matter what kids lighting you choose for kids do not forget: unless it is beautiful and should be practical. In various periods the children have different habits, fears and needs. Soft, muted light for babies, well-lit playground and convenient night light for a large and strong enough local kids lighting above the desk of the students.

PSLab Beruit






A great wine bar with lighting by PSLab Beirut.
.
PSLab Beirut designed site specific lighting designs. These ones are great... a play on both a standard chandelier and the iconic cylinder of the wine bottle. The fixtures really add to the space, rather than detracting from it, helping to provide the barrel vaulted space with a more intimate feeling.
.
Check out their website. There are a lot of fun lighting fixtures... and the website itself it a lot of fun to peruse. There are great images of their sketchbooks - some with animated flipping pages!

The Lighting is Everything






The light fixtures in this space really make it.... without them, it would just be a big (and overly tall) room. Instead, the fixtures bring the space into a more intimate and human scale.
I'm loving them...

Ready to Make a Statement?




Most of Brand van Egmond's designs are completely over the top... and that's exactly why I love them. If you're ready to choose a statement lighting piece, then you have to check out this husband and wife team's work! These dutch artists have really blurred the line between art and design, created some spectacular fixtures.
