Good lighting can make all the difference between a room that is bland and dull and one that is sparkling with life. It can soothe and relax, heighten atmosphere, create interest, and enhance decoration. In short, lighting has the power to transform your home. Illustrated with over 300 colour photographs of the very latest in light fixtures, this revised and updated edition of "Lighting" offers an abundance of practical information combined with hundreds of suggestions for creating imaginative lighting schemes. It presents a lucid and comprehensive overview of a potentially confusing subject. Whether you are planning an entire lighting scheme or simply buying a new bulb, "Lighting" provides all you need to light your home effectively, efficiently, and elegantly. In this first section, Decorating with Light, Elizabeth Wilhide suggests ways to maximize the effects of natural light and reveals the principles of good artificial lighting. The second section, Choosing Lighting, presents and in-depth guide to the extensive range of different light sources available and the various roles they fulfill, Living with Light, the third section of the book, explains how to meet your lighting requirements by suggesting stylish and successful lighting schemes for every room in the house.

This review is from: Lighting: Creative Planning for Successful Lighting Solutions (Hardcover)
I found this book to be a valuable resource in planning the lighting for our new home. The pictures are beautiful and packed with ideas. The text is practical and enjoyable to read. I discovered a lot I didn't know about how to use light for function and style.
