Does the thought of buying a one- or two-bedroom apartment with plain, egg shell-white walls and L-shape layout bore you to tears? Does your lifestyle include plenty of action, or at least living in the near vicinity of the action? Then a loft may be just what you are looking for.

Defined by its open concept floor plan, high ceilings and exposed pipes or beams, lofts have become a trendy option for young professionals. To add to the urban charm, most lofts have beautiful wood floors and unique lighting. Because many lofts are renovated warehouses or old commercial buildings, the walls are often exposed brick with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a busy neighborhood. Shops and coffee houses are usually nearby, as is a variety of night club options. Developers who choose to build new lofts do so in an upscale part of town, with a chic design that is perfect for the fashion-conscious owners.

Depending on the city, there can be two types of lofts: Hard Loft – conversion of existing commercial buildings that maintain much of the original design and integrity of the structure; Soft Loft – newly constructed buildings designed with original loft components in mind: open concept, high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. The newly built lofts are usually smaller, with the entire project having a boutique hotel-style appearance. Either way, lofts offer a feeling of spaciousness and freedom from the constrictions of a set wall design.

The open concept floor plan of a loft allows owners to divide out the room as they want, or leave it completely open. Many lofts have a mezzanine floor overlooking the living space. This is usually where the bedroom is arranged.

Lifestyle is definitely the key to purchasing, or even renting, a loft. But there are several things to consider before making a commitment to moving in.

1. By the very nature of the (often) downtown district setting of loft apartments, urban noise will come into play. Sirens, partygoers or just normal conversations below your windows could become irritating. For people who are at all noise sensitive, the constant hum of the busy streets may be too much after a while. Or this white noise may easily become part of the backdrop associated with this living choice, and something that is tuned out in short order.

2. City lights – including neon signs and bright streetlights – could come with loft living. If you prefer to have your space feature soft muted lighting, investing in room-darkening blinds will probably do the trick.

3. Lofts in converted buildings sometimes come with stairs, not elevators, to get you and your belongings up to your home. This includes taking your pets out for their daily walks or nature calls. While this is good exercise, it may not be a convenient way of living for some.

With the great trends toward using your yard as part of your house, more and more people are discovering how to best utilise their patios, decks, and gardens as dining or living rooms. These outdoor living spaces can be usable all year long in many areas. One of the challenges to using your outdoor spaces in this manner is lighting them.

There are many elements in a well designed outdoor living space. A good arrangement of furniture, clear access to the inside of your house, noise levels from surrounding streets or properties, all of these things help determine how useable your outdoor space will be. But, even the best designed outdoor living space can be ruined if there isn’t appropriate lighting.

There are myriad types of lighting that you can use in your garden depending on the effect that you want to achieve.

You can use spotlights directed at particular areas of the garden that you want to highlight to give the area a magical feel. Hanging lanterns are a nice option to string across a space or between trees. Strings of lights can be wrapped around tree trunks to create a unique effect. Pathways can be lit with lights that you spike into the ground alongside your walkways. Even ponds can be lit with submersible lights if your fish don’t mind.

The other major choice in backyard lighting is that of energy sources. If you want your lights to come on automatically when darkness falls and you don’t want to have to pay for the electricity to run the lights, solar lighting may be just what you need. Most solar systems work well even when the days are overcast as well.

Another method for outdoor lighting is using candles or groups of candles to provide a warm flickering glow. The downside to using candles is that they need to be supervised as they can be a fire hazard, especially in the hot dry summer months. The nice thing about candles is that you can set them out single in jars or cluster them for more intense light. There are many kinds of lanterns available for myriad different looks.

If you have well-placed electrical sockets in your backyard then you may want to opt for electrical lighting. Most strings of lights require a plug in, though some types are available with battery power. There are even outdoor lamps akin to living room lamps that are designed for outdoor use.

Take a good look at the parts of your garden that you might like to highlight with your lighting and also how much lighting that you will need to best utilise your outdoor living space. If you make your lighting decisions based on your needs, then you will end up with a space that is usable instead of a dim uninviting space.

Lighting Fixtures

When you first buy a house, remodel, or redecorate your house, this will be a good time to change your lighting fixtures. When redoing a room, it may take a few fixtures to bring out the room to the way it should be. Each room has a purpose and your lighting should correspond with that purpose.

You can really bring out a room with a light fixture that is bold and striking. Ceiling fixtures come in all types of designs and can drastically change the feeling of your room. Lamps can be added to add contrast the ceiling lighting. If you do a lot of reading then you will need a high intensity reading lamp.

The best types of reading lamps are those that are full spectrum lamps. These are specialty lamps and produce white light similar to the sun. Unlike regular incandescent bulbs, they create white light by emitting light frequencies like the sun does. This type of white light is good for reading and easy on the eyes.

When looking for a ceiling lamp fixture, look for functionality. If the fixture has too many design features, it can block the light and provide very little general lighting to your room.

If you room is to have computers, then a ceiling lighting fixture with indirect lighting will be best to avoid computer monitor glare. If possible try to avoid using florescent lamps in your living area since they emit light in 60 cycles which fatigue your brain and body.

The ceiling lighting is not only for the kitchen but for the other rooms like the bedroom, stairway, hallways, and recreation room.

The type of bulb you can put into a lighting fixture is only limited to the type of bulbs that are available in the market. Each bulb has a function and a specific frequency and power output in watt. When using a halogen bulb, use a fixture that will enclose this lamp in case it explodes. Full spectrum light bulbs are also available and I favor these because they mimic natural light more than any other type of bulb.

Saving energy light bulbs are nice in concept, but don’t away put out the light intensity that you need in the room. If you have multiple fixtures and you can put these energy saving bulbs. Then again depending on the room’s purpose, this will determine the wattage of bulbs you use.

When looking at ceiling fixtures, consider the efficiency of the fixture. Some fixtures are beautiful to look at, but absorb the light that should go to the room. Make sure that the lamp is easy to clean otherwise you will be wishing you had bought another type of lamp. Also look to install a rheostat to control the light. This manual light control will give your bulb long life and you can adjust the intensity of the bulb to give more or less light.

Using these tips will help you setup your lighting fixture so that you don’t have to replace it later. Just make sure that you use the fixtures that will complement the purpose of your room.

The living room is one of the hardest-working rooms in the house and to light it effectively you’ll need everything from overhead lighting (with a dimmer), for occasional use, to table lamps for atmosphere.

And think dramatic, whether its with eye-catching central shades, table lamps or floor lamps. One hot look at the moment is to group lights together in clusters, particularly pendants, and usually in odd numbers, hung low over focal pieces such as the coffee table.

If you’re decorating the room from scratch, it’s a good idea to plan where your lighting points and sockets should be installed at an early stage. This will mean that the lighting will suit your major pieces of furniture and not the other way around, and you won’t have to trail unsightly cables across the room. Also, consider arranging for your table and floor lamps to be wired on their own separate circuit with dimmer switches, so you’ll be able to control them all from one neat place on the wall.

Getting it right

There is no greater crime than lighting your living room with a single pendant alone. Aim to use a variety of sources to create pools or different levels of light around the room. That means a central pendant for general ambient light; uplighters, table lamps or tall floor lamps to light up dark corners; task lighting (such as a table or desk lamp) for reading with; and perhaps a selection of wall lights to show off your favourite pictures.

Providing light for practical purposes is always a priority but you can use simple tricks to change a room’s proportions too. Fitting uplighters to the wall to bounce light onto a white ceiling will make the room seem larger and taller. Creating panels or shafts of light with downlighters at the far end of a short room will draw your eye towards it as well as make it seem longer. Similarly, lighting all four corners of a small room will make it seem bigger than it is.

In a living room, it’s worth highlighting favourite pictures, books and even plants or pieces of furniture. A simple way to show off books is to clip a small spotlight to the underside of a shelf. Pictures can be picked out with a simple spotlight but if they’re glazed you’ll need to use an ‘eyeball’ light that swivels and can be set onto a broad beam.

Even your house plants can look quite dramatic when properly lit – the best way to do it is to put a low uplighter or floor-recessed spotlight right behind an impressive specimen and let the light bounce off the leaves. Similarly, your best pieces of furniture can be emphasised as a focal point by placing a striking and decorative lamp alongside them.
