Lighting ads a dramatic touch to your home With the variety of lighting sources available today, there are many ways of beautifying and adding dramatic touches to your home simply by using light. Imaginative lighting can be as important a decorative tool as colour. It can accent fine features, minimize flaws, create moods and bring out the best in your home. A few touches of effective lighting can turn dull areas into spectacular spaces, make small rooms sudden- ly spacious and empty cor- ners seem full. Adding new lighting sources can make your existing decor look dramatically different - often for less time and ex- pense than it takes to redecorate. In many homes, lighting often consists of no more than a band of ceiling and eye level light fixtures and lamps. By placing lights above or below this eye level band you can create far more interesting effects. But before establishing new permanent light sources, consider experimenting with some inexpensive clamp lamps to see the kind of effect you want to create. You'll also want to con- sider what you want from your lighting. Do you want to light up work areas, set a mood, highlight decor? And you'll want to consider budget. How much will it cost to light the space? Low voltage, quartz-halogen and compact fluorescent bulbs use less electricity and pro- vide the same amount of light as conventional bulbs.

Lighting in a home can generally be broken down into three different types: general, local and accent lighting. Most rooms should include a combination of at least two of these types. Light local activity areas first, then light the rest of the room. Areas used for relaxation should be lit soft- ly, while work areas should be lit brightly. Outdoor liv- ing areas should be lit for safety and security. Once you've determined what your needs are, con- sider carefully the variety of lighting sources available to achieve what you want. Here are a number of in- teresting effects. Track Lighting This is a popular light source in many homes to- day because of its stylishness, flexibility and versatility. Consisting of a series of lights suspended on wall or ceiling-mounted metal tracks, track lighting can be used in almost any room of your home. The prewired tracks hold individual light fixtures that can easily be snapped into the out of the track at any point. You can choose from a number of fixtures and bulbs to create special ef- fects. These can be used for general lighting, to brighten specific work areas, or to accent and highlight specific items and areas. Spot and Floodlights Either free standing or fitted into wall or ceiling- mounted tracks, these focus a strong beam on a single object. They can illuminate specific work areas, highlight decorative items, or even make a wall appear to recede by bathing all or most of it in light. Canister Uplights These are usually placed on the floor to footlight a sculpture or large plant. They also cast interesting patterns on walls and ceil- ings and can bring dull, empty corners to life. Recessed Lighting Recessed ceiling fixtures wash the walls with light and provide general il- lumination. Placing the light in a soffit adds a distinctive touch by bring- {Turn to page 6) Real Estate Limited, Realtor 985-8041 - 139 QUEEN ST., UNIT 2, PORT PERRY NEW Three bedroom all brick raised bungalow.
