The Autumnal Equinox: A Great time for Lighting Your Home

The Autumnal Equinox: A Great Time For Lighting Your Home

As you know, the autumnal equinox is an astronomical event that occurs once yearly in which the Earth orbits around the sun. At that moment, the sun crosses the celestial equator, in order to enter the sky’s northern hemisphere. It is said that after this event, days and nights are almost the same length. However, this also means that days are shorter than in periods of solstice, which in turn requires more lighting. Therefore, this is the perfect timing to ensure that your home is well-lit in the absence of daylight. Let’s take a closer look at some stylish and efficient light fixtures for your home:

1)      Floor lamps:

The floor standing lamp is a traditional fixture that comes in different shapes and designs. It is a great way to add style & ambiance to a room, since they do not cover as much ground. This fixture is perfect for a living room, as it can serve well for reading or lighting the room while enjoying your favorite tv shows.

2)      Pendant light:

A pendant light fixture is one that hangs from the ceiling by means of a cord, chain or rod. It usually includes one to several lightbulbs that are not combined into one single unit. The beauty of this fixture-type is that you can find many styles, colors, and even textures! From vintage-inspired glass, to industrial metal and a casual organic weave, a pendant light fixture will bring a unique accent to your room.

3)      Table lamps:

The table lamp is yet another classic. This lamp will ensure that any table in your home has perfect lighting. It is the ultimate measure to fine-tune your atmosphere in a room, whether you need extra lighting or want to dim the room. They come in a number of shapes, sizes and colors. From bold to muted, you will not have any difficulty finding your desired look.

Choosing a light fixture has become less mundane, as today’s wide selection will not only help you achieve a well-lit room, but also give you an abundance of style options.

Midnight Swim!

by Mike's Furniture

When summer is around the corner, hot weather is not far behind! And who says hot weather, says… pool time! There is nothing like swimming in fresh water when the sun honors us with its presence, but there is another moment when it’s nice to swim quietly; at midnight!

When the kids are asleep and the neighborhood is quiet, go to the backyard and take time for yourself or as a couple. A good way to create a silent and soft ambiance is to put some candles all around the pool to accompany the moonlight.

White wood and rattan cords are good materials for a soothing mood. You can also add some lanterns on the patio to light the way to the pool.

For more security, to avoid all the little fires around the backyard, you can use tea lights that are battery operated instead of real fire.

Brighten It Up With Color!

by Mike's Furniture

Colors have the power to influence a room’s atmosphere.  They should be your ever-present ally when trying to lighten, make a room look bigger, or simply giving a unique touch to your home. Discover how to use colors to your satisfaction!

No more dark and dull (I would use dull – most people won’t know that word) tones. With summer’s arrival, it’s time to brighten up your interior with a touch of fresh and dynamic color.

From the living room to restrooms, including the bedroom, transform your walls with green, yellow or blue… colors that will always give you a hint of summer.

Change any room:

Energize your living room with a blue-colored wall.

It will bring an exotic touch. In addition, your accent decorations will be highlighted.

Separate the living room from the kitchen.

Use an open red partition with circled gaps: Its bright red color will give a clean touch.  Using wall art will enhance this look and serve as a finishing touch.

A navy-blue ambiance for the best comfort!

Favor a holiday oceanfront atmosphere by incorporating a Mediterranean blue color. Always enhance your room color with accent pillows to bring balance to your bedroom decor.

Beveled glass color: A zen bathroom

Beveled glass gives a relaxing feeling thanks to its enveloping and fresh sensation feel. Favor a white bath and hardwood flooring to bring harmony to your décor.

Remember that a pleasant-colored style promotes vivid colors, circle shapes and several patterns. So let your imagination run wild and let the colors do the talking!

Keep this short summary in mind:

1. Personality: unusual, colored, energetic, creative, seventies, original, optimist, lighten.
2. Main colors: vivid red, purple red, orange, yellow, lighten blue, green.
3. Materials: PVC, wood, plastic, textiles.
4. Furniture and accessories: adjustable storages, paintings, pictures, high stools, carpets, poufs.
5. Decoration elements: Painted walls in vivid colors, lighting tiles, tiling, vivid colored paintings.

How To Choose The Right Light In Easy 3 Steps

by Mike's Furniture

Shopping for lights for the house seems to be very simple, but the truth is that there are points that we need to verify before purchase these luminous accessories. Here are 3 steps we must follow before shopping for lights:

1. What is the room size?
Obviously, large rooms will need more lighting than smaller ones! Determining if your room needs a lot of light or not will help you choose the correct light size; i.e. chandeliers and pendants are perfect for large rooms, but for small ones a floor or table lamps can do the job!

2. How much place do we have in the room?
Measuring how much space you have will also help you make a bright choice. If you already have a lot of furniture and/or accents in the room, maybe a thin light or a pendant could be great.

3. Which style predominates in this room?
Of course, sticking to the same theme as the other articles is advised for the simple reason that it will be more aesthetically pleasing!
