What you need to follow this tutorial

• You’re favourite lamp designs in a variety of formats (we’re talking floor lamps, wall sconces that use plugins instead of wiring, or whatever fits your budget and style)
• Light bulbs with your preferred light intensity and colour (for obvious reasons)
• Extension cords (if needed)
• A wireless switch

Examples of what NOT to do

Here’s how to light a room with no overhead lighting

• Start by using two or more floor lamps plugged into the same lighting fixture or extension
• Make sure you put the lamps on opposite sides of the room to best light up the whole living area
• Make sure you connect them to the same power cord, making it easier for you to handle the lighting of the room

• Grab a lighting fixture with a long cord

• After many trials and errors, find out how you would like your light to hang
• Make sure you evaluate style and overall lighting experience before you finally put a hook in the ceiling
• Attach your light to the hook

• I recommend using at least two wall sconces on opposite ends of the living room
• Make sure both lights are not on the wall that holds the entrance, as the lighting will just be a bit off
• After you put the wall sconces on the wall, make sure you connect them using the same power connector or extention, making lighting the room easier to handle

• Buy an arc floor lamp in a style that you like best
• Place your lamp over your sofa or dining table to get a traditional chandelier feel
• Note: this lamp only works best in bigger living rooms, so as not to make the whole room feel cluttered

• Before you begin anything else, you need to do a bit of extra work and draw a plan of your ceiling so you can best figure out how to hang these lights
• Buy string lights that plug into each other (like Christmas lights do), creating one long line of string lights
• Put hooks in your ceiling where the string lights can attach,
• Hang the lights up in your favourite style
• Note: while this style is beautiful in the finished result, it is harder than the other alternatives and takes more time

Astro Lighting is the brand we know very well and used for quite a few of our Projects.

We absolutely loved their new concrete and antique brass finishes for the wall lights.

Even the best designed interior wouldn't work without well designed lighting. Why not to have a light as a feature and create unique visual effect? Let's try to use it as a final touch in the interior design.

Sometimes you can be tired of affordable and popular market lighting. But you don't have to spend little fortune to have modern and eye-catching lighting. It's all about good and patient sourcing. Let me do that for you!

"We are the creators of the world’s first designer low energy light bulbs. We have taken a familiar, existing design and transformed it. The energy efficient light bulb is now a desirable object to show and enjoy. Launched in 2010, the Plumen family has expanded to include two designs of energy efficient light bulb and five colours of Drop Cap Pendant Sets."

During London's Clerkenwell Design Week they definitely attracted my attention. A Rum Fellow is London based interior brand. The furniture, fabric and accessories are made to captivate the space around. Ethnic, travel inspired and very dominative. Use with caution!
