Lighting is everything

You can create a soothing and warm setting anywhere in your home. Every area of your house or apartment deserves to be beautiful. It's fun to buy rainbow light bulb and use them in a lamp without a shade or with a white-ish shade to create a beautiful, cascading light effect. I have one in the corner of my living room. Dimmers are key in any home and so are natural spectrum lightbulbs. The quality of light is incomparable to regular lights and they supposedly mimic natural light in such a way that they become a mood booster. Whatever you do, stay away from florescent lighting. It reportedly drains you of energy and I know whenever I'm under a florescent lamp, I feel tired in a very specific kind of way. And last but not least, they're ugly. I acknowledge that environmentalist say florescent lighting is a good idea and it's about the only thing I disagree with them about because of the effect it has on our energy.

Light catchers are a magical way to create rainbow lighting effects throughout your house during the day. You just hang it in any window that gets direct sun and enjoy.
