Table Lamps Can Light Up Your Home Brilliantly

Now you want to put lighting in your house and you want to find out what options there are.  There is just one chance to make a first impression.  The lighting is usually that chance when someone comes to your home for the first time.  It should be important that you make sure that they feel welcome.

The traditional way was to have a hanging light from the ceiling in the centre of the room.  Today, this is rarely the most fashionable way to do it and in modern home furnishing planning it’s usually the last option.

Consider putting a tall floor lamp in a corner of a room.  Unfortunately this often takes up valuable floor space and it is not perfect in a small room.

Lots of people feel that the best option is to light their homes with table lamps so let us take a look at a four basic things that you must decide on:-

It can be a good plan to furnish each room in your home differently.  You can use normal lights in one area and table lamps in another.  Lighting in the bedroom should, however, be subtly different to the ones in the living room.

Firstly you’ll need to make sure that the colors of both your lampstand and lampshade fit in with the rest of the room.  You need to decide if you want a statement color like <a href=”http://www.blackrablelamps.com/”>black table lamps</a> or red ones to make a big statement or perhaps a more soothing pastel color to give a serene atmosphere.

There are a lot of different ways to plan your house furnishings.  If you decide to have a minimalistic home maybe a contemporary or modern Table Lamp is you best choice whereas an old-fashioned approach might be your choice and go for a vintage table lamp or an antique.  You can also choose what you want them made of.  Some materials are a lot bulkier and heavier than others so are better in larger rooms.

In the final analysis the cost will often have to overide your other preferences so we recommend that you decide on your budget first and then search for the choices in your cost bracket.

We hope that you now have a better plan of action.

Indoor and Outdoor Lighting Tips to Conserve Energy and Save Money

Making improvements to your lighting is one of the fastest ways to cut your energy bills. An average household dedicates 11% of its energy budget to lighting. Using new lighting technologies can reduce lighting energy use in your home by 50% to 75%. Advances in lighting controls offer further energy savings by reducing the amount of time lights are on but not being used.

Indoor Lighting

Use tube fluorescent and energy efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) in fixtures throughout your home to provide high-quality and high-efficiency lighting. Fluorescent Lamps are much more efficient than incandescent (standard) bulbs and last about 4 to 10 times longer.

Today’s CFLs offer brightness and color rendition that is comparable to incandescent lights. Although fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps cost a bit more than incandescent bulbs, they pay for themselves by saving energy over their lifetime. Now available are dimmable fluorescent light bulbs, which operate much like incandescent fixtures.

Indoor Lighting Tips

* Look for the ENERGY STAR label when purchasing these products.

* Turn off the lights in any room you’re not using, or consider installing timers, photo cells, or occupancy sensors to reduce the amount of time your lights are on.

* Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it. For example, use fluorescent under-cabinet lighting for kitchen sinks and countertops under cabinets.

* Consider three-way lamps; they make it easier to keep lighting levels low when brighter light is not necessary.

* Use 4-foot fluorescent fixtures with reflective backing and electronic ballasts for your workroom, garage, and laundry areas.

* Consider using 4-watt mini-fluorescent or electro-luminescent night lights. Both lights are much more efficient than their incandescent counterparts. The luminescent lights are cool to the touch.

* Use CFLs in all the portable Table and floor lamps in your home. Consider carefully the size and fit of these systems when you select them. Some home fixtures may not accommodate some of the larger CFLs.

* Recessed downlights (also called recessed cans) are now available that are rated for contact with insulation (IC rated), are designed specifically for pin-based CFLs, and can be used in retrofits or new construction.

* Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, loose-weave curtains on your windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room while preserving privacy. Also, decorate with lighter colors that reflect daylight.

* If you have torchiere fixtures with halogen lamps, consider replacing them with compact fluorescent torchieres. Compact fluorescent torchieres use 60% to 80% less energy, can produce more light (lumens), and do not get as hot as the halogen torchieres. Halogen torchieres are a fire risk because of the high temperature of the halogen bulb.

Outdoor Lighting

Many homeowners use outdoor lighting for decoration and security. When shopping for outdoor lights, you will find a variety of products, from low-voltage pathway lighting to fluorescent motion-detector floodlights. Some stores also carry lights powered by small photovoltaic (PV) modules that convert sunlight directly into electricity; consider PV-powered lights for areas that are not close to an existing power supply line.

Outdoor Lighting Tips

* Use outdoor lights with a photocell unit or a motion sensor so they will turn on only at night or when someone is present. A combined photocell and motion sensor will increase your energy savings even more.

* Turn off decorative outdoor natural gas lamps; just eight such Lamps Burning year-round use as much natural gas as it takes to heat an average-size home during an entire winter.

* Exterior lighting is one of the best places to use CFLs because of their long life. If you live in a cold climate, be sure to buy a lamp with a cold weather ballast since standard CFLs may not work well below 40 degrees F.

* Also consider high-intensity discharge (also called HID) or low-pressure sodium lights.

By implementing some of these tips and strategies, you will save both energy and money. In many cases your home will also be safer due to the decreased fire hazards.

Sick of replacing light bulbs and paying high energy bills? Switch to compact fluorescent lighting and you won’t ever go back.

Spruce Up Your House With A Country Style Home Décor Theme

Regardless of your budget you can use country style home décor to change your home from boring to beautiful. Simple changes like stenciling and coordinating your wall art and pillows can be an inexpensive way to give some country charm to your home. Some other things you can change, depending on your budget, include flooring, lighting, accessories, wall coverings, window treatments and furniture.

It is important that your flooring match your overall colors and design theme, but if you can’t afford new floors then you can cover your current floors by using small rugs with a country look. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, you might try hardwood floors and soften them up with braided rugs.

An important change you should consider for your country style home décor look is painting or wallpapering the walls. For this theme the colors are important – you should think about adding blues, reds and greens either in your wall color or your accessories. Try using a paint with wallpaper borders on the walls, or try a matching wallpaper and border set. You don’t have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money but a nice color on the walls can work wonders. If you are afraid to put color on the walls you can cover the walls in a neutral shade and play up the color with accents like pillows, rugs and curtains.

Good lighting is a must in any household. To augment your country style home décor design theme, you need to consider light fixtures in terms of both type and style. While you are going for a country theme, you may want to look at installing plain overhead lighting with Table Lamps but try to steer clear of anything which is too fancy with lots of sparkly crystals.

Decorative accessories are essential to pulling your country style home décor theme together. You can totally alter the appearance of your room simply by replacing the accessories! Concentrate on shopping for wall art, pillows and knick knacks, in patterns and colors complimentary to your country Style. You’ll be amazed at how simple and cheap it is, and what an incredible difference these changes make! Be certain to add in lots of vintage country pieces as well as handmade bowls, baskets or boxes and you may even try certain interesting tins and old painted items found in garages and basements to really spruce up your home. Extra touches such as old fashioned signs in either wood or tin can give your home a designer look.

Country furniture can be comfy and overstuffed but you really need to watch the pattern of your upholstery. Plaid is a popular country theme, but if you prefer something more subtle you can get upholstery in a solid color such as red, blue or even tan and spruce it up with plaid or patterned pillows. To really pick up on the country design style, try using furniture made from pine with a plain stain or a painted finish.

How you dress your windows are important to your country style home décor look. There are many window treatments that can enhance this design, particularly if you match fabrics to your window treatments, however you should avoid contemporary style prints. You can match your curtains or drapes to the fabrics on your furniture, use plain sheers or sheers with a valance. Even just wooden blinds can work well with the country look.

One area that is often ignored when redecorating your room is the wall space. Even the ugliest walls can be enhanced with beautiful paintings and wall art. Try adding folk art paintings, stencils or a hand painted mural to your walls to highlight the charm of your country design.

Achieving a fabulous country look in your home can be as basic as just buying new decorative accessories or as involved as replacing everything. Either way, paying attention to detail and making sure you match your furniture and decorative items will help you accomplish a decorative new country style home décor theme that you can be proud of.

The Future of Household Cleaning: Capitalizing On Emerging Trends and Changing Preferences

Introduction

believes that a ‘marketing sweetspot’ exists in the development and wider marketing of household care products. Although consumers are clearly heavily influenced by price, the ‘sweetspot’ is in recognition of the confluence of consumer trends impacting household care choices

Scope

*Covers household care, with a particular focus of household cleaning, including category specific market data and per capita expenditures

*Detailed analysis on consumer attitudes towards, and perceived influence of, different product features and benefits impacting choice

*In-depth action points offering practical strategies based on the trends and insights uncovered in the report

*Covers five major geographic territories: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, MENA and Latin America

Highlights

Two-thirds of consumers globally buy cleaning products on the basis of value-for-money either ‘most’ or ‘all the time’. Brazilians (79%) and Russians (74%) were most fervent in their self-reported quest for value-for-money. Japanese and Swedish consumers expressed the least propensity to buy on the basis of value

Environmentalism and the move toward sustainability is becoming a meaningful driver of consumer behavior in household care, but is secondary to most purchase influencers

Data extrapolated fromProduct Launch Analytics (PLA) database highlights that air fresheners and general purpose cleaners accounted for the highest proportion of new product introductions tracked by Datamonitor’s product specialists across the globe in 2008-09

Reasons to Purchase

*Develop better targeted products with detailed understanding of the household cleaning needs and preferences of consumers across 17 countries

*Access data analysis from two waves of primary consumer research, and best practice examples of innovative and effectively marketed products

*Improve your marketing by following best-practice guidelines. Develop action plans using Datamonitor’s recommendations as a catalyst for ideation

THE FUTURE DECODED 6
INTRODUCTION: Household care comprises laundry and household cleaning, with this report only focusing on the latter 6
This report is one of two category-focused reports outlining household care trends and preferences 6
Irrespective of whether consumers like cleaning their houses, it is something that is generally deemed to be highly important 6
TREND: The most significant growth in household cleaning products is occurring in the emerging markets 10
Product launch trend data offer some insight about the direction of household cleaning products 11
General purpose cleaners generally account for the highest share of consumers’ household cleaning spend 13
Air fresheners are well placed to capitalize on the powerful influence of scent on consumers’ emotional wellbeing and the fact that people are gravitating towards their homes amid the economic downturn 17
Bleach spend in many markets is falling amid concerns about formulation and the growing efficacy of general purpose cleaners 20
Emerging markets will be the main engine of growth for dishwashing products 22
Key takeouts and implications: emerging markets represent the ‘path to growth’ in household care 25
INSIGHT: A preoccupation with health and wellbeing also exerts significant influence on household cleaning attitudes, motivations and preferences 26
Consumers explicitly recognize the link between good hygiene and wellbeing via a ‘feel-good factor’ that is obtained from doing the cleaning and/or the results obtained 26
Consumers are less able to relate to the idea that the act of household cleaning itself is therapeutic 29
Most consumers are aware of and concerned about the negative health effects of poor home hygiene 32
Fears over ingredient harshness and safety in household care products are influencing consumer choices, with the halo surrounding natural formulations becoming more apparent 38
Sensory benefits can also boost the wellbeing factor of household care products 48
Key takeouts and implications: the industry must strive towards better associating household cleaning products with wellness 54
INSIGHT: Value for money considerations heavily influence household product choice and the generally favorable perception of private label branded cleaning products 55
Value-consciousness is a highly pervasive influence of many household care product choices 56
Private label household cleaning products have increasing credibility with consumers, but the habitual buying of preferred brands is still relatively commonplace 61
Word-of-mouth recommendations and product samples are also perceived to exert some influence on product choice 67
Key takeouts and implications: be wary of putting a disproportionate focus on price in responding to consumers’ value-consciousness 70
INSIGHT: Convenience and efficacy heavily influence household cleaning choices due to both an inherent dislike of cleaning and perceived time scarcity 72
The majority of consumers both dislike household chores and feel constrained by time scarcity 73
Efficacy and multi-purpose benefits are deemed influential to consumers, but less so than other benefits 76
Minimizing time spent doing housework is important to consumers, but is not fully reflected in the perceived influence of time-saving product features 80
Consumers attach more importance to ease of use than ease of storage, but both are highly influential attributes shaping household care preferences 84
Key takeouts and implications: consumers are looking for ways to minimize time and effort spent on doing their housework, and household care brands must outperform rivals in this critical area 92
INSIGHT: Ethicality and sustainability is a theme that continues to gain momentum in household care product choices 93
A notable segment of consumers are deliberately avoiding companies and brands with a poor environmental reputation and are also paying attention to sustainable packaging issues 94
Ethical and environmental consumerism drives the demand for more ‘virtuous formulation’ and ‘virtuous production’ 98
Key takeouts and implications: environmentalism and the move toward sustainability is becoming a meaningful driver of consumer behavior in household care, but is secondary to most purchase influencers 106
ACTION POINTS 107
ACTION: Make performance, ease, ethics, wellbeing and value for money core components of household cleaning brands 107
ACTION: Help consumers to understand what ingredients are used and why 108
ACTION: Cater to consumers’ desires for more ethical, safer products and processes 110

Must Have Luxury Furniture in Every Modern House

You will agree that the perfect modern home should be elegant, yet comfortable, eclectic, and yet consistent. You may think that you need to buy so many things and spend a fortune on furniture and home accessories to make your home look great. It’s not so much about how many items you invest in, but the quality of those few items that will make a real statement in your home. There are certain items -specifically furniture pieces – that will achieve that. It’s what we call the “Must Have Luxury Furniture in Every Modern House”.

The key is to mix styles and items together – new and old, classic and contemporary – in a way that the value of the result is much higher than the value of every item together. The result? Pure luxury!

You probably have a few furniture items and home accessories that you bought years ago and that look boring and outdated. Maybe you have a few old pieces you inherited or were given to you by friends and family. Don’t throw them away! Learn how to combine them with some new pieces, and create a luxury space for yourself and your family to enjoy and relax.

For the living room, a must have is a contemporary chrome floor lamp. I would recommend a replica of the original 1960’s Arc lamp. This lamp will bring a glam retro look, ideal in our modern homes. A luxury item, without the price tag!

What happens if you have an old sofa? Sofas are expensive, so spend money wisely. You’re better off covering it with a casual throw or a faux-fur blanket, and investing in a glamorous chaise longue or Louis XV style chair. That way you will have more place for seating, and you will acquire a real pearl!

Another way to “glam up” your living room is adding a chandelier and a mirror. A glass cut chandelier with droplets always look great, especially if you have high ceilings. Nowadays they are available in many colours, so you can go for a classic clear or black one, but if you’re not afraid of colour, a bright red chandelier is a great choice. When it comes to mirrors, you’re spoiled for choice: a gold Baroque mirror, a black carved one… Don’t be scared to go over the top. Mirrors add depth and light, and always a great option to dress a naked wall! Place it over a console Table, or invest in an over-mantle mirror if you have a fireplace. Mirrors look great, and are so much more affordable than any piece of art!

When it comes to furnishing bedrooms, the must have piece is a fabulous bed. The Versailles style beds or the French Chateau ones are more popular than ever, and add that unmistakably French luxury touch that you were craving for long. If your budget is limited, a really good alternative to buying a complete bed frame is to buy an affordable divan bed, and glam it up with a Rococo headboard.

If you’re still within budget, spoil yourself and get two luxurious Venetian Bedside Tables. Moreover, if you don’t mind going over-budget, don’t hesitate to buy a silver embossed console table. It would look great in the hall, the living room, or even the bedroom. Some console tables are very versatile, and can be used as dressing tables – a must have in every woman’s bedroom. If you choose one that can be used either way, place it in your bedroom, compliment it with a beautiful silver Rococo mirror, and spend some time making sure you look as great as your house!

Increasing the Quality of Life for Senior Citizens Through Innovative Lighting Techniques

      As the Baby Boom Generation joins the ranks of our growing elderly population, we should consider how lighting their environment will affect their quality of life.  By the time we reach age 65 we need three times the amount of light to see with the same acuity of a 20 to 30 year old.  Each year a new layer of cells forms on the lens of the eye.  As this layer becomes progressively thicker we require higher levels of light to penetrate to the back of the retina.  According to new Dutch study published in the Journal of American Medicine, higher light levels can reduce the affects of dementia in older adults. 

     A correlation exists between how much light we absorb and how much melatonin our body produces.  Melatonin is a hormone that is produced while we are sleeping and is essential in the regulation of our circadian rhythm.   The body uses light levels to differentiate between daytime and nighttime.  When this light level is reduced by an absence of light during the daytime hours, the production of melatonin is affected and results in a disruption to the circadian rhythm.  This causes a change in sleep patterns which has been shown to be a factor in early onset dementia.  As we age, we tend to spend less time outdoors and more time indoors in artificial light, thus affecting melatonin production.  At a time when the human body needs more light we effectively reduce the available light by spending more time indoors.    

     The Dutch study looked at 189 residents of 12 assisted living facilities, 87 percent of whom had been diagnosed with dementia over a five year period.  In all the facilities, the lights were brightest between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.  In half of the facilities,new higher wattage lights were installed.  The new lighting produced light of 1000 lux, a measurement of light output equivalent to 93 foot-candles, or about 50 percent more than the level recommended for open office lighting.  In the remaining 6 facilities, indoor lighting produced 300 lux equivalent to 30 foot-candles or the amount of light recommended for residential living spaces.  In addition, one group was given 2.5 milligrams of melatonin each evening, while the other group received a placebo.  The study revealed the higher light levels alone were enough to cause positive effects in the patients.  The 1000 lux lighting reduced cognitive decline by 5 percent, reduced symptoms of depression by 19 percent and reduced physical function decline by 53 percent.  Of those who took the melatonin, 25 had more uninterrupted sleep, although those who just took the melatonin and weren’t exposed to the higher lighting levels showed more signs of withdrawal and depression.  The residents who experienced the higher light levels and took the melatonin increased their sleep efficiency by 3.5 percent, reduced nocturnal restlessness by 9 percent and reduced agitated behavior by 9 percent.  This research revealed that the same results occurred in the residents exposed to the higher light levels as occurred in patients who are prescribed a popular class of drugs used to treat Alzheimer’s.

     It is apparent from these studies that increasing the light levels in the living environments of the elderly can have a positive impact on their quality of life and perhaps reduce their dependency on expensive drugs.  While striving to increase the light levels it is important to consider the type of lighting that will achieve the best result.  Careful attention must be paid to creating high light levels without glare. Glare can be especially jarring to older eyes.  The building up of layers of cells on the lenses causes a scattering of the light, increasing susceptibility to glare.  Glasses and contacts also contribute to the glare problem.  

     The resulting thickening of the lenses also causes the eyes to register more amber which changes the ability to perceive color correctly.   Amber absorbs blueish and purple colors, so the older we get, the less blue we see.  This makes it important for older people to have a light source strong in the blue range.  Using cool fluorescent Lamps and LED’s will provide this blue light source.  Select fluorescent bulbs at least 4100 k and LED’s that have not been manufactured to achieve warmer colors.   Use a good  quality fluorescent bulb with a high color rendering index to aide in the color recognition.   Using an inexpensive daylight bulb with a low CRI will only worsen the color recognition problem. 

     When planning the lighting for the space, consider the different types of fluorescent lighting.  One recommended application is to use linear fluorescent strips mounted in coves located near the ceiling.  This in effect turns the entire ceiling into a light reflector creating glare free indirect, evenly distributed light.  The ceiling must be white in order for this technique to be effective.  Surface mounted fixtures may be used if covered by white diffusers to eliminate glare.  The number of bulbs and wattage required is dependant on the room size, color of walls, floors and the reflective properties of those surfaces.   Keep in mind that 3 times the recommended light level is the goal.  Supplement the ceiling light with lighting over the cabinets and under the cabinets in kitchens.   Use the same fluorescent color throughout.  If possible the counter tops should be constructed from a light material finished in a matte finish.  Avoid dark, high gloss counter-topsfor maximum lighting efficiency in areas occupied by the elderly. 

     In bathrooms use shielded fluorescent lighting mounted on the wall on either side of the vanity or sink mirror spaced 30″ apart. This will provide evenly distributed light with no glare on the face.   If the bathroom is equipped with a long solid mirror, mount the lights on the mirror.  Additional ceiling lighting should be provided throughout the bathroom to adequately illuminate all areas and provide good light for personal grooming and safety.  Since older adults get up frequently in the night to use the bathroom, use amber colored nightlights to help them find their way safely.  The amber color will not disturb the sleep cycle and interfere with their ability to return to sleep.   While night lighting should be provided, it should be kept to as low a wattage as possible while still providing a safe path of light.  In the bathroom provide a night light that can be left on all night or operated by a motion switch.  Make sure this light is of a low wattage as well.  Introducing bright light to soon can cause temporary blindness in older eyes and lead to disorientation.  Older eyes take longer to adjust to changing light levels.  There are low level LED’s that can be installed in door frames or used at the floor to create a safe path of light throughout a living space.

     Often an elderly person will have a favorite chandelier and lamps that they will want to use in their living space.  These fixtures can be fitted with frosted light bulbs and soft fabric shades to eliminate glare and used as decorative accents in the room.  Fit the Table or floor lamps with compact fluorescent bulbs, the highest wattage they can physically hold.  Replacement harps and shades can be used to allow for the larger size, higher wattage bulbs.  These bulbs burn much cooler than their incandescent couterparts so you can use a higher wattage than recommended because heat is not an issue in the lamp.

     Due to the advances in lighting technology and research, it is possible to enhance the quality of life of our senior adults by making simple changes in the lighting of their environments reducing the occurrence and severity of dementia.  This is something we can all do for our elderly clients or loved ones.
