FINE OSHAWA HOME -- MELROSE STREET E\you select according to your Your Light Arrangement Gives Character To Home A sunny day is cheerful, an overcast afternoon, dull and sombre. In both cases, the feeling of gaiety or melancholy derives from the psychological effect of light. The same land- Scape may seem full of promise at sunrise, morose at noon, mysterious in the early eve- ning, sombre: and tragic under a blanket of dark clouds. Just as the mood of an out- @oor landscape changes accord- ing to lighting differences,so the interior of your home ac- quires a different character according to the way is lighted. A ray of sun glows in the curtains and spreads a halo around the windows, the ideal image of a beautiful Sunday morning. it Most ot the time however, one is not at home during the day. One svends more time at home in the evenings. Thus being so ** behooves one to study the "ehting arrangement in order to oe more comfort- able. Properly distributed lamps, and ceiling and wall fixtures give the correct inten- sity of light in a room. But the effects of such var- {ations are limited by the na- ure of the lighting source. By contrast, the evening pro- vides infinite possibilities for the decorator. For then he has the opportunity to create his own lighting effects undisturb- ed by daylight, Then he can, in truth, create the atmosphere he wishes. that some ° cs unfortunate t le spend so much money on furniture and accessories, devote so rot hours to the study of the furni- decorating | the sides being unpleasant to the| eye. Room ture arrangement, and yet often neglect a room's lighting, For the majority of people, lighting consists merely in chasing away darkness -- they ignore the value of light itself. In actual fact, objects have no other color than that which light imparts to them. In the evening even the most humble atmosphere acquires its own distinctive character under arti- ficial lighting. If lamps are properly dis- tributed throughout the room, the color and intensity of the light bulbs, if they're well- chosen, may: transform just a house into a home. Similarly badly conceived lighting can give to the most beautiful room the appearance of a commer- cial display. Why? Because color is light and light is color, because color, like texture, possesses an emo- tional value, because well-aim- ed light attracts attention to- ward the area or the object lighted, because light itself ac- cording to its color and inten- sity, communicates a certain atmosphere, a_ certain charac- ter. In his home the home-owner could not stand a light as in- tense as that of the sun or that used in a store window. That type of light is too hard, too merciless, for the interior of the house, In contrast, the most indirect,:in other words it must come from hidden sources -- lampshades placed on furniture, wall sconces or valance lights. How many lamps are in your living room? A room of average dimensions -- about 15 x 18 feet -- should be light- ed by at least three lamp- shades in different places; two lighting sources are not enough and unbalance the who'e effect. Modern technology has come up with reasonably priced dim- mers for domestic use, vari- able resistance units permit- ting the home-owner to change the intensity of his lighting.
