When you go into an opera house, you expect it to be majestic, awe-inspiring and boldly consist of cultural approach. When you enter a ballroom, you anticipate it to be spacious, inviting and holds a position of bonafide social manner for its congregation to enjoy in. When you enter a palace, you immediately presume a regal atmosphere for monarchs to indulge themselves in, whereas the area caters to their noble taste and way of living. As expected, stately buildings will always hold splendid qualities for its inhabitants and visitors to perform their life’s acts together. If you happen to look closely there is one thing that adds ‘life’ to these imposing edifices and these are with the use of lighting.
A long time ago, I used to play SIMS, the well known people simulator game by Maxis. One thing I especially adored about the game is its ingenuity for the player to creatively design their own houses with multitude of items to choose from to cater to the player’s tastes. I honestly had a hard time integrating the lamps or lights within my home since for me, there seem to be a lack of options, especially for chandeliers. I absolutely adored the fine art lamps, which consists of amazing chandeliers with intricate gothic like design and ambiance. There was also traditional outdoor lighting to use when having a quiet moment by the porch of by the garden. I remember george kovacs lighting, where simplicity and minimalist design convey a sense of modernism with elegance. There were also the hinkley light fixtures, which can be used for solemn lighting for anyone up for a romantic atmosphere indoors.
Yes, there were quite a number of lightings to choose from and it is now I realize how lighting greatly constitute to the atmosphere of the building. Whether it’s for an imposing structure or for a simple residential area, choosing the right lighting would entail the right attitude and character for its inhabitants.
Wow, you could almost say I’m talking like an interior designer. LOL
