Ceiling Lights
Ceiling Lighting
The main ceiling light is the main source of lighting in many rooms and should reflect your personality, whilst blending with the decor. Make a bold statement or choose a more traditional style, including flush and semi flush light fittings, crystal chandeliers, pendants, traditional chandeliers, ceiling lanterns and non electric pendant shades. The choice is yours.
With such a massive choice of light fittings available, how do you being to choose the correct type of ceiling light for your room? We offer a comprehensive range of ceiling lights to suit every budget, decor style and taste. How can you ensure that the ceiling light you have chosen is appropriate for your home?
The first thing you need to decide is the type of fitting that will best suit. If you have a lower ceiling then a flush or semi flush ceiling light may be best suited. Also consider foot traffic through a space. Will people passing through a room walk directly under a light fitting or will it be suspended over a table? Do you have someone 6' 6" tall living with you?
What style of room must the light fit into? Is it traditional, contemporary, modern or completely individual? Here, there are no real rules; you can choose whatever fitting you like the look of best. The watchword here has to be proportion. A very large ceiling light in a small room is not appropriate, likewise a very small fitting in a large room.
What type of light fitting finish suites your decor best? Are your switches and sockets finished in brass or chrome for example? There are a multitude of different light finishes available today from the more traditional brass to black chrome and titanium giving you more choice than ever.
Consider the amount of light the fitting will give. The more lamps there are or the higher the wattage, the more light it will give. As we get older, we generally need more good quality light to see by. This does not mean that they have to be brightly lit all of the time as you can fit a dimmer switch to allow you to change the light levels to suit.
Finally, remember that choosing the correct type of lighting is only half of the story, it's also about you. Be inspired, be bold, express yourself and make lighting an exciting part of your home decor.
