Being home always evokes feelings of love and warmth. This cozy feeling is enhanced by your home’s décor and lighting. An outdoor lamp post or Lampadaire exterieur in French offers a wonderfully Victorian feel. As the holidays are coming up, I’m thinking of maybe sprucing up my living and entertaining areas a little bit with some lighting to give my holiday guests the same cozy feeling. I found some quick tips on how to choose lights for different rooms in your home. There are also great finds in Kichler Lighting that would help me achieve the kind of look and illumination that I want. The combined ceiling fan and lighting can models are interesting choices as they combine both form and function that works great with a small space like ours. Perhaps a slim floor lamp would also be good for the corners behind our loungers for dim lighting to set the mood for wine and cheese nights.

While I’m at it, I might as well check out other lighting fixtures for my entryway and my bathroom – two of the other places in my home where my holiday guests would likely set foot in. Kichler Outdoor Lighting fixtures give me a range of options to choose from with their romantic wall sconces, intricate iron lanterns, and modern minimalist copper deck lights. They do have landscape lighting fixtures too but since I do not have a garden, I think having wall mounted bronze outdoor lamps flanking my doorway would look welcoming enough. In our office, I have been looking at some gorgeous industrial barn lights for the house. Combining modern and traditional styles can add a unique touch to any room. One of my friends lives in Sweden and has just bought a stunning lyktstolpe (lamp-post) for in her garden. It’s added such a nice vintage touch to her yard – she can now sit outside in the evening and watch the world go by. For my bathroom, I do not particularly like it to be too bright but I think I do need to put in some vanity lights like those in the Kichler Bath Lighting catalog to give my guests enough lighting for their touch-ups.

If you are also thinking about revamping your home’s décor with some lighting, make sure that you choose fixtures that are timeless, or at least in a style that you are willing to stick with for a considerable amount of time. Choosing wisely based on the kind of look and feel that you want to achieve in your home will help you get the most out of your investment – you do not want to spend too much money on something that you would be changing again after a few months.
