stained glass patters – Bedroom Lighting Thumb Rules To Create A Mood In The Bedroom

Monday, December 28th, 2009 at 11:30 am

Light in any space can be categorized into two types 1) Natural and 2) Artificial. During daytime the Sun provides much of the lighting inside various spaces. In order to create a mood in your bedroom, you will have to follow two simple rules

1) Obstruct the light using a colored object

2) Using Colored surface on which the light falls.

If you use any one of the above mentioned rules, you will end up in a much different and quality atmosphere in your bedroom. Let's see in more detail how to do this.

1) Obstruct the light using a colored object.

This is really simple to understand. If the direct sunlight or the artificial light coming from an electric bulb is obstructed using colored paper or glass the entire bedroom will have a colored atmosphere around thus creating a mood. However care should be taken while choosing the shade of this color. Other wise instead of creating a soothing and pleasant space it can lead to more vibrant look creating discomfort.

A lampshade is based on this same principle. Lampshade serves two purposes, of cutting-off the harsh light from the source of the light (eg. bulb) and creating a focal point because of its shape.

To achieve such kind of mood a creative use of curtains can create best results. Also sunlight in your area is not harsh then use of stained glass in selected window panes also created interesting color and

shadow patterns inside the bedroom.

2) Using Colored surface on which the light falls.

This is a little tricky to understand. When a bulb is lit or the sunlight falls on any surface it gets reflected elsewhere in the room. the amount that gets reflected largely depends upon the surface quality of the wall and its color. this principle ca be used to create a mood in the bedroom.

The wall that directly receives harsh sunlight ca be treated with soothing colors and glossy finish to maximize the light reflection on other surfaces. Again too much glossiness can cause glare which can

create discomfort.

Another example is to use a crystal chandelier with one or multiple lights. Since these are mostly made of glass can easily reflect or transmit light trough them creating patters of light on the bedroom

ceiling. A crystal chandelier is mostly used in the oriental bedroom design theme.

Such type of lighting is termed as "indirect lighting" and can be very effective for large bedrooms with narrow frontages.

I hope these words will help you to generate more creative lighting ideas.

OTTAWA - Prince Charles and wife Camilla are on their way home after an 11-day Canadian tour.

They boarded a jet in Ottawa this morning after the prince inspected a royal guard and bid farewell to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean.

Their last public event was the planting of a ceremonial oak tree at Rideau Hall.

They shook hands and chatted with a small crowd of spectators before tossing a few token shovels of dirt at the base of the sapling.

The tour took them from Atlantic to Pacific and included participation in the national Remembrance Day ceremony.

It was the prince's 15th Canadian visit.
