Plant shelves are a great way to showcase your home décor and other fantastic accessories that complete your living room, bedroom, kitchen and dining room designs. But without the right lighting, these up and away spaces can be as distant as the moon. Use this guide to using lighting fixtures for plant shelving and you’ll be sure to get the most out of your plant shelving spaces.

Getting Power to the Shelf

Ensuring that there is a way to get power to the site is the first and foremost part of this project. Without the right power supply, your plant shelf lighting fixture is a no go. You’ll need to access the attic space above the plant shelving to determine if the space is reachable by conventional methods.

Once you know that you have access to the site with a power supply, you can then insert an outlet box. Use an outlet box that is designed for drywall. These attach to the back of the drywall, allowing a quick and painless way to get your outlet secure. Once the outlet box is ready, insert a wire into the box. Have another partner help you to pull the wire through the crawl space and over to an existing outlet or directly to the service panel.

Choosing a Lighting Source

Choosing the right light for the pant shelf is crucial to the success of this project. With the wrong bulb and wattage, you run the risk of burning down the house. When in doubt, always go for the lowest wattage possible. As a rule of thumb, a plant shelf lighting fixture should be at least a 40 watt bulb or less. Better than conventional bulbs, LED’s are a great way to light up a small space like a plant shelf alcove without allowing it to get too hot. An affordable way to light plant shelving with LED’s is by installing LED under cabinet lighting. Throw in a dimmer switch and you’ve got a night light display that can be affordable enough to run all night long. Some LED displays can be tasked to work with multiple colors and lighting effects to create the ultimate in opulent living room, den and home theater spaces.

Accent and Task Lights

Accent and task lighting can be used to complete avoid having to install a new lead wire and outlet. By using an existing nearby light source and installing a system of track lights, you can easily display plant shelving with ease. From colored spot lights to soft lights that strike the perfect balance between your design and your décor, a track or monorail lighting system is the perfect choice for lighting a nearby plant shelf area.

Light fixtures are easy to swap out, so it’s a great idea to add a little trendy style to your space through new light fixtures, especially a chandelier. Though these pieces can get a bit pricey, if you’re willing, there are a number of reproductions of higher end designer pieces out there that can help you cut costs while still giving you the same look and feel as a high end designer light fixture. Glass globe chandeliers, as well as glass globe pendants and other fixtures that use this style, are becoming extremely trendy.

Cluster Chandeliers

An elegant, but simple design, cluster chandeliers are a great choice for anyone who is looking to incorporate this light fixture trend into their home. These ceiling fixtures feature several clear (or colored) glass globes with individual lights, hung in a cluster. The wires are typically tied together or cased in a straight tube to give it a more clean, streamlined appearance.

These light fixtures come in a variety of sizes with a number of bulbs per fixture, so you can easily find one for your space. Plus, cluster glass globe chandeliers fit into a number of styles from contemporary to modern, traditional to rustic and everything in between. Their basic shape and design give them a look that is elegant, simple and easily blended with other decor styles.

Other cluster style chandeliers will feature each bulb on an individual wire, but the wires won’t be decoratively grouped but rather each one hangs down from a single point at the base of the light fixture. Like the grouped pieces, these can also easily be incorporated into a number of styles.

Suspension Style Glass Globe Chandeliers

Another popular option, the suspension style glass globe chandelier is any ceiling lighting fixture where the glass globe lights are suspended from their wires but are suspended in a pattern. The pattern can be a straight line or a chaotic-appearing grouping. They come in any size or pattern and like many glass globe chandeliers, they can feature colored glass globes, though clear tends to be the most popular. Furthermore, as expected, these ceiling fixtures can easily blend into a number of styles from Victorian to minimalist.

Other Types of Glass Globe Light Fixtures

There are a plethora of other glass globe light fixtures available out there, so you can easily match your chosen chandelier to your pendant lights or other ceiling fixtures. Some manufacturers even produce lamps, track lights and wall sconces that feature glass globes for the shades.

Glass globe chandeliers are super trendy, especially in the coming year. That being said, investing in trendy light fixtures can get a bit pricey so don’t be afraid to opt for less expensive versions because these often feature the exact same look without the designer price tag. Since you can blend these ceiling fixtures with various decor styles, it’s easy for you to incorporate them into your space. Images 1 | 2| 3 | 4| 5

Whether you use your outdoor space for barbecuing, playing catch with the kids or to garden and landscape, no matter what, when the sun goes down — the party is over. That’s why it’s a wise investment to install an outdoor lighting system for your backyard. But it’s more than just putting up a few lighting fixtures and calling it complete. By using this guide, you’ll be sure to get the all of the tips and techniques you need, to get the job done right.

Task Lights

House Garden Design (via)

One of the biggest problems with outdoor spaces is when it’s dark; it can be tough to get things done. Whether you’re grilling a feast or you’re just chatting with some friends on the lawn, without a direct source of light over the area, it can be tough to get anything done. That’s where task lighting comes into play. Spotlights or flood lights can really help to light up large spaces with ease. Multidirectional and easy to adjust, lamp post style flood lamps can help to bring the task lighting solution right where you need it most. Lamp post style flood lighting can also help to prevent large shadows that often occur when flood lighting is stretched too far.

Ambient Lighting

Lighting Landscape (via)

While task lighting fixtures are good for seeing when you need to get things done in one area, when you move from under the light, it’s gone. That’s where ambient lighting works best. Ambient light sources in the backyard can create a soft glow that covers the space and floods the yard with light. Outdoor hanging lights are perfect for creating light on decks, patios and along fences. Fluorescents work well as an ambient light source too, but they tend to draw many bugs to its surface. Yellow fluorescent bulbs can reduce the hordes of insects that come into the light.

Going Green

With so many outdoor lighting fixtures going to solar, it’s easy to find an attractive, efficient and affordable solar powered light. From heavy duty flood lights to simple push in place walkway lights, solar powered lights charge all day, then run all night for free! But what really makes solar powered outdoor lighting special is its ease of installation. No wiring, no electrical work and no shocks! Low voltage solar lighting can be installed anywhere the sun shines. Many soffit and fascia mounted flood lights use a solar panel and a lead wire that runs to the light. Simply attach the flood light wherever you need it most and run the charging panel to the place in your yard where it will receive the most sunlight. Since everything’s is just a simple plug and go type install, you only need a screwdriver to set up the entire system.

Lighting your kitchen may seem like a tough project. With so many different styles, designs and lighting fixtures available to light your kitchen space, deciding upon the right light source can be difficult at best. Use this guide to easy kitchen lighting to ensure you get the most bang for your buck when it comes to installing new kitchen lights.

Space Saving Designs

Save your money, time and space by installing space saving kitchen lights. Bulky and awkward kitchen light sources can be in the way, be too bright or be too cumbersome to be efficient in the kitchen workplace. Task lighting solutions like flush ceiling lights and under cabinet lights all work to aim light exactly where and when you need light the most, all while being hidden from view and out of the way. What’s really great about these kitchen lighting options is that they are easy and affordable to install in existing kitchens.

Kitchen Islands

Image (via)

Many modern kitchens contain a kitchen island space. They are used for sink areas, stovetops or just plain old countertop workspaces. But no matter what you use our kitchen island for, lighting it with an easy to use lighting fixture is the best way to get the most out of your kitchen lighting design. Easy to install kitchen island lighting solutions like pendant lights not only help to create the perfect lighting for your kitchen island, they also look good doing it.

Countertop Spaces

Image (via)

Countertops are the most used space in any kitchen design. From chopping veggies to serving food, the countertop space is crucial to getting your everyday kitchen tasks done. But without the right light fixtures, it can be tough to get the job done. Under cabinet lights can help to get your kitchen countertops well lit for work. But some under cabinet lights can be difficult to install. LED under cabinet lights can provide an easy to install lighting system for counter space that is easy to install, even for the average DIY aficionado.

Ambient Lights

Image (via)

Without the combination of a good ambient light source, kitchen lighting can be spotty and shadow filled, making kitchen work a chore. With the use of a good ambient light source like florescent or natural lighting, you can easily have a well-lit kitchen space that denotes cleanliness and sterility in the workspace. Cabinets, countertops and kitchen islands are all alight when an ambient light source has been employed. The best way to get a great ambient light source and a good ventilation system is by installing a window that opens to the outside. Even if your kitchen doesn’t open into the exterior of you home, you can still get the ambient light source you need for your kitchen. A skylight or solar tube can easily and affordably provide the ultimate ambient light source for your kitchen space.

A kitchen without the right lighting fixtures can be like working in a cave. Dark spots, shadows and overly obnoxious bright lights can make a kitchen space feel unwelcoming. That’s why it’s so important to develop a good lighting strategy when you design your kitchen space. But kitchen lighting doesn’t have to be just functional; it can be fashionable as well. Light your kitchen with style using these tips and techniques for lighting your kitchen.

 

Task Lights

(via)

One of the most important parts to any kitchen lighting plan is to install a good set of task lights over work areas in the kitchen. From basic track lighting to classy pendant lights, task lighting helps to keep work areas like the kitchen island well lit for chopping veggies, doing dishes or cooking on the stovetop. Begin by creating a lighting blueprint that highlights the work areas of your kitchen. Always keep task lights in the kitchen triangle—AKA the sink, fridge and stovetop—well lit with bright and white kitchen lights. Flush ceiling lights work wonders over sinks, stoves and in front of the refrigerator for the perfect out of the way kitchen task light. With the addition of a dimmer switch, flush mount ceiling lights can pull double duty as task lighting and night lighting.

Ambient Lights

(via)

Without a good source of ambient lighting, task lights can be overbearing, cast shadows and create unwanted dark spots in the kitchen. An ambient light source helps keep the whole kitchen lit. Florescent lights can create the perfect ambient light space for the kitchen. A bright and white ambient light source helps to denote the kitchen as a clean and sterile environment. When combining florescent bulbs for ambient kitchen lighting, it’s a good idea to use bulbs with different light spectrums to best mimic natural lighting sources.

Natural Lights

(via)

One of the best ways to light a kitchen is by using a natural light source. Windows, skylights and dormers all create the perfect lighting design for any kitchen space. But natural lighting is not always an option when existing kitchen designs have no access to exterior walls for window or door openings. And because skylights can cost so much money, they can be out of the question. That’s where solar tubing skylights come into play. These cheap and easy to install kitchen lighting sources can be installed on any existing roof in just a few hours. And if you’re really handy, they can be installed with just a few basic tools for the ultimate in adorable and affordable kitchen light sources.

 

A kitchen design without the right lighting fixtures might as well be in the closet. Lights provide the power to see vegetables before they are chopped, dishes to be cleaned and stoves to cook on. It’s tough enough to do these tasks, let alone without a good light source. That’s why it’s so important to add a good lighting design to your kitchen when you are renovating or remodeling your kitchen area. Use this guide to get the ultimate kitchen lighting design for your new kitchen.

Drawing a Plan

Even if you’re not very good at drawing, sketching up a basic blueprint to help determine where kitchen lighting sources work best is in your best interest. It doesn’t have to be an accurate drawing; it only has to give you and your electrician the right idea as to what sort of lighting design you want in your new kitchen. Once you have a general sketch drawn, make several copies of it. This way, you can draw different lighting designs to get a feel for different designs, allowing you to get the exact lighting design for your kitchen, before the first wire is even installed.

Here are a few ideas to include in your lighting blueprint:

• Outlets
• Fixtures
• Switches
• Lamp/Ventilation Combo
• Under Cabinet Lights

Task Lighting

The first step in creating the ultimate kitchen light design is to install task lighting. Task lighting is used to focus a direct light source when and where you need it most. With the addition of a dimmer switch, task lighting can be made to be as bright as possible or dim as you like for the perfect nightlight or romantic dining light. Task lighting can be very direct such as spotlight styled track lighting or indirect like a LED cabinet light—so long as the light is directed for a specific task.

Here are a few great examples of task light fixtures for the ultimate kitchen lighting design:

• Track Lights
• Monorail Lighting
• Pendant  lights
• Recessed cans
• LED Cabinet lights

The Creative Edge (via)

Ambient Lighting

Task lighting alone in any room design is a bad thing. Shadows and dark spots are easily formed and that makes it difficult to work when shadows crowd the workspace. To remedy this situation, layer light sources. Ambient light sources are the perfect way to add a room full of light with a direct source.

Fluorescents work very well in producing an ambient kitchen light. Natural lighting from windows or skylights work best for ambient light, but unfortunately, they need a backup source of light during the evening. To keep the feel of natural light during the evening hours, combine different spectrum types of florescent bulbs together to match natural light as close as possible.

Whether you are getting new lights for your bathroom remodeling project or you’re adding them to your new foyer, lighting fixtures don’t have to be energy hogs to work well. In fact, by using one or all of these eco-friendly light sources, you can help decrease your eco-footprint as well as decrease your electric bill. But no matter what lighting source you decide to buy, it’s in your best interest to hire a professional electrician to install them. With the addition of a dimmer switch, these light sources can become even more eco-friendly by allowing you to control the exact amount of light you need, exactly when you need it most.

Take the LED

One of the best ways to efficiently light any room in the house is through the use of LED’s. Light emitting diodes or LED’s use a small electric charge to efficiently create a small source of light. When these small sources are packed together tightly, they produce as much energy as a conventional light bulb but for a fraction of electricity. For instance a 60 watt incandescent light bulb is just as bright as a four watt LED system. Not only do the lights work more energy efficiently, they also create far less heat. This means the overall ambient air temperature of your house will go down, allowing your HVAC system to work at maximum efficiency.

LED Light Sources: LED under cabinet lighting works best in the kitchen and bathroom areas. LED strip lights work well above cabinets, in alcoves and on porches.

Win the Pendant

Pendant lighting is a great source for task lighting above counter spaces, over furniture and even outdoors. Stylish design and practical use make this lighting fixture a must have in just about any room in the house. With the addition of a CFL or LED bulb, energy efficiency increases exponentially.

Pendant Lighting Sources: The shade or cover of the pendant lamp can be green too. Look for a recycled paper, bamboo or other natural material for the ultimate in eco-friendly lighting.

I’m Your Biggest Fan

A fan is more than just a great way to keep cool. It also helps give your HVAC a break when it’s working overtime on a hot day or cold night. Fans help circulate the air and help keep ambient air temperatures consistent. A ceiling fans light kit adds to the energy efficiency of the unit by allowing you to add an ambient light source using CFL or LED bulbs. Once a dimmer switch has been added to the fan and light kit, it works pulling double duty as an ecofriendly light and ventilation system.

Ceiling Fan Light Sources: A fan that’s controlled by remote control can add to the features of the fan while still allowing it to be ecofriendly.

Now that you have your central lighting fixtures in place and any secondary sources of light such as lamps, it’s now time to put a spotlight on accent lighting. This is the fun stage of illuminating a room, giving you freedom to expand on your overall room design and place more focused lights in areas that need a little extra something.

Why be concerned with accent lighting at all? Well, think of it as another level of accessorizing but with the added benefit of function. Every room can benefit from a little extra touch of light. You can bring whimsy or elegance to a room with accent lighting. You can highlight your valued treasures or collectibles. You can bring attention to artwork. Any way you choose to accent your room with additional lighting enhances your interior.

There are countless ways to incorporate accent lighting into your room’s décor. If you have a unit of shelving where you like to display special items or books, you can use under cabinet lights to bring them into view. For special artwork, add new dimension with art lights that mount over or under the frame. This gives your art and your walls a whole new look.

Now think of areas within your home where a little extra light would add interest. For example, that antique table you placed in the corner. A small upright light could cast a warm glow in the corner and bring light up the wall. If you have a small entrance foyer that needs a bit of illumination, a candlestick lamp would fit on a hall table and provide an added welcoming light.

Add a touch of retro fun to a teen’s room with a lava lamp. Do you have a little princess in your family? Outfit her bedside table with a small pink crystal chandelier lamp. For the sports-minded little boy, novelty sports lamps are always a hit. For the contemporary master bedroom, choose a sleek cylindrical lamp for your dresser.

Don’t forget functional accent lighting in the kitchen. Outfit your cabinets with energy-efficient LED under cabinet lighting. You can install track lighting or recessed lights above cabinets for added emphasis on cabinet-top displays and to provide an extra layer of illumination in the kitchen. Showcase glass or dishware collections in glass-door cabinets with display lights mounted inside.

Shedding a little light in dark corners and enhancing the overall lighting in a room adds interests and creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in a home. Work accent lighting into your design and wake up your rooms. Accent lighting adds interest and dimension to your rooms, brings attention to treasured collections and artwork, provides functional illumination and completes a room. Take a look around your home and see where you can add a little extra.

Pendant lights are one of those greatly versatile styles of fixture that fits within any home décor. They can be extravagant or simple, small or large, and can be used in any room of the home. They are seen in restaurants, cafes and executive offices everywhere. Their appeal is universal. Take a moment to consider pendant lights – above and beyond.

Technically, pendant lights are light fixtures that hang from the ceiling from a cord, chain or rod. However, they are so much more than that. These wonderful fixtures are a prevalent feature in many of today’s homes. They grace entryways, light the main course in the dining room, take center stage in the living room, hang from above the bed in the bedroom and dazzle in multiples across kitchen islands.

What is it that is so appealing about these particular ceiling lights? Whether made with one light or many, the pendant light brightens the room with unbeatable style. The wide range of styles that are available today makes these lights a popular choice. If you are looking for something a little more extravagant than a flush-mount fixture, these are a great alternative.

Lori Dennis via Design Shuffle (via)

Wrought iron, brass, chrome, brushed steel, bronze and a long list of other materials can be seen gracing ceilings. Mica, glass, crystal, Tiffany stained glass and all manner of shades and globes make for an awe-inspiring selection of pendant lights. They are for every room of the home, from bathroom to bedroom, from foyer to kitchen and every room in between.

Imagine a lovely inverted frosted glass bowl that reflects a soft, warm light throughout the hall as you enter your home. Add a decorative rod detailed with curves and finished off with lovely draped chains that attach to the globe.

For the contemporary dining room or to add a contrasting element of modern style to a traditional dining room, hang a pendant light created with a silk drum shade with accents of dangling crystal. This would be a great feature and grace any table with panache.

The kitchen island is a place where pendant lighting is a perfect match. A 3-light island light can make a big impact in the kitchen and look great in a Tuscan style room. It provides a nice balance of light that gives optimum illumination for this most important area of the kitchen.

Also favored over the kitchen island are mini pendant lights. These are hung in multiples across the expanse of the island and often feature art glass or shades of interesting designs and colors. These are wonderful in contemporary or traditionally styled kitchens and provide great illumination.

Don’t forget bedrooms, living rooms, game rooms and home offices. Wherever there is a need for light and you want more than just a flush-mount fixture purely for function, add some style with a pendant light. Bring the rooms of your home out of the dark ages with lights that are versatile and beautiful, no matter what your décor style.

In addition to necessary light, table lamps can add a great deal of style to a room. When you are designing a space, a lighting fixture is an essential part of the process. When you need additional light for reading, working at the computer, or for overall illumination, choosing table lamps to accent your space is a great place to start.

Whatever your style or taste, there is a table lamp that fits. Some of the common styles are torchiere, candlestick, crystal, stained glass Tiffany, mica, ceramic and porcelain. There are also numerous novelty styles that reflect hobbies, art or abstract sculpture. If you want something truly different, there are those that are carved from stone or glass. Lamps in materials such as brass, bronze and Lucite are also very appealing for any style of décor.

Candlestick lamps are perfect for sofa tables or sideboards because they take up little space and form a nice symmetry. Torchiere lamps also work great in this same vain and they give the room an overall glow as light is reflected off the ceiling. Candlestick lamps are versatile enough to be used for anything from kitchen lighting to pure aesthetics.

Crystal lamps are a popular choice among traditionalists as well as those who lean more toward contemporary interiors. There are beautiful carved crystal lamps that resemble cut vases or stemware. For the more contemporary taste, there are styles that incorporate geometrically shaped crystal with simple lines.

The appeal of Tiffany stained glass is universal. Used in many a traditional or historic décor, these paragons of artistic light bring a special quality to a room. Popular not only for their brilliant color and intricate designs, Tiffany stained glass lamps speak of style. They stand on their own as a decorative accessory in a room. Tiffany stained glass lamps make for great table decor!

Many Craftsman-style homes, as well as contemporary interiors, benefit from mica lamps. Their distinctive amber shades provide a golden light that sets the tone for a room. Balanced in a contemporary interior, they add a touch of color and warmth.

Ceramic and porcelain lamps have long been staples in every style of interior. Resembling beautiful cloisonné ginger jars and vases, these classic lamps grace many traditional interiors and provide a lovely addition when paired with an ivory or white silk lampshade. Blue and white porcelain is also a pleasing combination in any traditional room.

Many transitional and contemporary lamps are made of bronze, brass and Lucite. They take their style cues from Roman architecture, modern art and sculpture. Carved stone lamps are another style that makes quite the statement in a contemporary interior or adds interest to a transitional space.

When exploring the myriad of styles available in light fixtures today, also think of the quality and amount of light you need for a particular space. Not only accents to the overall interior design of a room, table lamps are the added illumination necessary to make a room come alive aesthetically and work functionally. So, have fun and make a statement or simply accent your space with this added dimension of decorative accessory.
