Use Lighting To Add Colour
A light fixture in a bright colour in a room that has simple furnishings can make the room come alive. It adds fun and interest to your space. And coloured lights can work wonders when the light’s turned on.
There are lots of ways you can choose coloured lights. You can choose hand-blown lamps that come in a myriad of colours, like the one above. Or you can choose lights that have a coloured casing. You can even match the shades of your lighting to your other decor. Or try a cluster of three to four lights for a beautiful burst of colour in one spot in the room.

Make a Bold Statement With Your Lights
The material, texture, colour and size all play a part in how your lighting fits in with the rest of your home decor. A tall floor lamp placed over the sofa in the living room adds elegance. Pendant lights in a unique shape, hanging over your island table makes your kitchen or bar area look uber luxurious.
So when it comes to choosing your lighting, think about making a bold statement. Choose something oversized. Or in a bold colour or in an unusual metal. It can be in one corner of the room or highlighted in a central area. And it doesn’t have to match the rest of the decor. Let it stand out and be the focal point of the room.
