The Essence of Beautiful and Effective Lighting To Any Interior Space

The effect of Beautiful and effective lighting of any space cannot be overly emphasized when it come to any Interior. I say it ones and I say it again, there is nothing like too much light. That's why we have switches isn't it. Just control it has your mood pleases.


When lighting up any interior, I personally consider the colour tone I want to work with first. To me warm white never goes wrong. It's a very beautiful tone of white that makes everything look better and adds more luxury to any space. Also, technology has helped us, we now have light fixes that comes with various colour tones to match your mood. But still at that I go for white colour tones mixes. White colour tones such as; Pure White, off White, Warm White and Golden White. These variables are mostly what I combine or selectively choose when decorating any Interior space.  Thank God for technology, now a single light fixture/light bulb can emit different colour tones. You just have to switch it off and on at intervals.

Interestingly, light fixes comes in diverse price ranges to suit any pocket. A few years back I helped a friend with the set up of his new apartment. He had a budget and we headed to a light store to shop for these light fixtures. We needed three ceiling mounted lights for the living space which included the dinning area. Then we needed a pendant light for the long passage. Our budget was maximum of One Hundred Thousand Naira ($200). He got to this importers store I recommended. You know the owner is a direct importer so he sells everything wholesales. We saw this amazing ceiling flush crystal chandelier for forty five thousand naira (N45,000), roughly 100 dollars. But something about this light fixture wasn't perfect enough and getting that will even mess up with our budget. But the light didn't click the button inside, if you know what I mean. We weren't feeling it a hundred percent. So, while contemplating on if that was okay for the living room and what to pair with it for the dinning he noticed some ceiling mounted light displayed like wall mounted at the extreme right end of the store. Then he tapped me and we both looked at ourselves like, "ohhhhh". Yeah, that's just perfect. The largest size of the wall mounted light which by the way also comes with crystal design outlooks and gives options of different tones of light was twenty two thousand naira pere (only). That's about Forty Dollars in today's market. And the medium sized was priced at seventeen thousand naira. So we bought two of the medium size because we needed two of those for the dinning section. Then one of the biggest size for the Living Room and we then got a pendant light for the long passage way that also matches. The total budget was even less than the initial budget we planned and the outcome of these light fixtures was just perfect. It serves the purpose a hundred percent. Even the  more expensive light fix wouldn't match the outcome. Purchase of light fixture was checked with the more affordable light option and we even saved some money. And beautifully enough, because the more affordable light option were matching, it looked three times much more expensive. Nobody would believe they are that affordable. When people come visiting then, they were always marveled at how gorgeous the whole place looked because of how perfect the light fixtures complimented the entire set up. The whole light fixture came out looking so high end, expensive and classy.



Features of these beautiful light fixture are; very bright illumination, comes with 4 different colour mood options, crystalline design made with glass, gold metal finishing that gives beautiful ambiance and makes it super noticeable. And to top it up, affordable.



Ability to be able to recognise the perfect light fixture to an interior is a gift any interior decorator should have. The perfect light fixture isn't the most expensive light fixture in the stores.

I remember a project I picked up at an Estate in Lekki, Lagos state, Nigeria. Light fixtures were already installed and they weren't cheap. Luxurious, illuminating and perfect new design LED light Fixture, spectacular. There couldn't have been a more suitable light fixture for that house. They were perfect especially the ones to the living room and the dinning space. Please Note, they weren't that affordable. The Interior came out perfect. It's not every time you go affordable. If you have the resources, get the best deal on the most luxurious light fixture that matches your Interior space.


I remember vividly a project I picked up during the pandemic, it's was shortly before the," END SARS" protest began. After getting the usual ceiling light, standing lamp, table light, media section light plus bar section light. My client still insisted he wanted more lighting and that his house isn't lighted enough. We had to change all the ceiling installed POP Spot-lights to something with higher wattage to satisfy his lighting expectations. He wanted more and believe me you the house came out looking all better and that was when I came up with the notion that there is nothing like too much light. In fact, my love for adequate and proper lightening to a space deepened. I always go top notch. And since then, I do not joke with proper lighting to an interior space.

MY CUTE LITTLE FLOWER VASES

So, I mostly pass by this particular building along Salvation road at Opebi in Ikeja. Most times I am always rushing to catch up with one meeting or one appointment or another. I noticed this entire building unlike others is occupied by Interior decorating product dealer or should I say sellers. There is this store at the ground floor of the building I kept seeing this two wonderful white and black colour flower vases (pair) with a single stick of an artificial fushial pink rose flower on each displaying from the show-window of this particular shop. I kept admiring it from afar. One larger size and the other smaller piece. So yesterday I decided to visit the store. I walked a very very long distance from where I was all because I wanted to see these vases. My dears they were even more beautiful seeing them closely. I met with the owner of the store, she is a professional interior decorator just like myself. She is an adorable senior friend. I priced the vases and I wondered why...
