Bedroom lighting
Looking to replace this existing light in master bedroom. It doesn't really look right? Have seen a pendant drum light (at a recent open inspection house) covered in sheer material, had crystals and left a beautiful shadow on the surrounding walls,loved it, can't find it on line... would like to keep the price under 200$ If I want beautiful shadows do the globes face down or up? Any other lighting ideas that may suit are welcome.

Should I paint the trims/doors so they match?
Comments (34)In my last house, after adding a living room (the area you see this side of the arch) and also updating bathroom etc I couldn't afford to reline the ancient walls in my little lounge (when I removed the purple wallpaper I found a mixmax of boards, gib, pinex, plywood and holes!) so I plastered walls all over with layers and layers of newspaper and wallpaper paste (papier mache), then after applying primer/undercoat I painted with 2 similar colours (rich reds in this case), and stippled the surface with a plastic bag. This made it look just very slightly textured like leather and successfully disguised the uneven surfaces. Gallons of gap filler filled the gaps between the old T&G ceiling boards and evened out the mismatched skirting and scotia. Again white paint on all the trims. Amazing what can be done when you have to make do! This was a great cosy little room! (Before photo is the 3rd one)...See MoreAdvice! Pendants vs Downlights in kids bedrooms
Comments (17)If you go for down lights you will need to leave a gap around them of 100 mm between the recessed part and insulation so the insulation doesn't catch on fire. This also creates a problem with the thermal performance of your home because heat can move freely through the ceiling where there is no insulation. It can make a big difference even if there are only a few down lights. Also, down lights are very directional (send most of their light straight down) so you need to put more in to get the same effect. You could try track lights that attach to the ceiling instead. If you want a pendant go for something cheap and easy to replace if it is damaged by toys/clothes or whatever being thrown around. Ikea have lots. FYI dimmers don;t educe the power consumption, merely reduce the intensity of the light....See MoreUPDATE! Bedroom light chosen

Comments (6)Hi there, I think the main thing to stick to is choosing one way to tie each room together, whether you do that via colour, shape, pattern, etc. It's also important to be mindful of features in each room - you don't want to walk in and be bombarded with more than your eye can take. You want an awesome feature and then everything trails behind that :)...See MoreSina Nova
8 years agoVery similar. The one I loved looked similar to this below, but not sure what shadow if any this one shown, would cast on surrounding walls when turned on..or if it would look right for the room. Or if black is right or do I go silver or white or..
Plan to put long sheers up in front of the new blind for a softer look.
