Fragrance Lamps: A Beautiful Decoration With An Excellent Sense Of Smell.

Every home could use the inviting scent of the holidays, the warming smells of spring or the calming feeling of lavender filling every room. Invite positive feelings into your home with the glow of fragrance lamps.

Every year millions of homes around the world are stocked with scented candles that serve as therapeutic reminders of long past memories, romantic encounters and current seasons. Filling the air with these aromatic smells has become an important part of balancing one s own self while relaxing at home. Although candles can serve their purpose they lack several positives that
fragrance lamps can give you.
In almost all cases candles lack beauty because they generally come in a clear or tinted glass jar with a color of wax that most resembles the smell of the candle. This does little to attract the eye and beautify a room. Fragrance lamps on the other hand have been manufactured in a myriad shapes, colors and designs to match any décor that you could think of. They range from tortoise fragrance lamps by Stonewick to snow globe style Geo crystal fragrance lamps by Alexandria. Both serve as shining examples of elegance that appeals to those attracted to traditional lamp styles while The Gossamer Wings fragrance lamp by Ne Qwa Art and Redilere fragrance lamps both resemble contemporary designs that would look at home in a museum.
Another drawback to traditional candles is their short life span. Often a candle is burnt out in a few days and with the extravagant cost of today s candles even long life cancels fall short with cost effectiveness. Fragrance lamps are designed to burn oil which burns longer, warmer and in some cases they are even formulated with all natural scents. The ability to refuel your fragrance lamp makes the initial investment of the lamp a long term investment which will allow you to get more out of your money.

Not only does this help to save money it will also allow you to change the scent of your
fragrance lamp to match the seasons or even your current mood. This is a big plus when you think about the savings you can achieve by eliminating the need to buy several different candles for every event. A fragrance lamp eliminates that need and opens up the ability to purchase the oils needed at a fraction of the cost.

With the growing popularity of fragrance lamps for home décor it's no wonder that more and more people are throwing away their old lackluster candles for oil burning lamps. Their stunning designs and wonderful fragrances are finding their way into homes across the world.

Light As a Decorative Element

Light plays an essential role in creating a beautiful and functional interior. Playing with different sources and forms of light a talented decorator can accentuate specific areas of your home, create a special mood and atmosphere, make a statement, or improve the overall ambience of a property. A thoroughly planned lighting scheme plays one of the key roles in creating customised interiors and individual settings. Here are the main principles of creating a great illuminating scheme of your home.

1. Start with the general lighting. As the name implies, this light source is for the basic general use, the main goal of which is to illuminate the space. A good example of general light is very popular now pot lights or a light fixture mounted to the wall. As pot lights do not add a lot of aesthetic value to your home decor, a rightly chosen ceiling light fixture can make a big statement and even become a focal point of the room. While it bears mostly the functional load, you still want to be extra careful while choosing a light fixture for the room, as it can clash a chosen decor theme or compliment it, pulling the entire look together.


2. Plan your task lighting. Task lighting provides direct area-specific lighting for certain areas of your home at higher illumination levels. An example of task lighting can be a light pendant over the kitchen island, a lamp on your computer desk, or vanity
lighting in a bathroom. While the main purpose of the task lighting is to illuminate the area for a specific task, please avoid a severe contrast between general and task lighting as the eye's pupil will dilate in low levels of light and contract in high levels of light. A constant dilating and contracting is the major cause of eye fatigue and eye strain.

Task lighting comes in a variety of forms from ceiling pendants to table lamps. They play an essential role in a visual perception of the space. You can accentuate certain architectural features of your home, define different zones, or form and shape the space with different light sources. With all this variety of designs and styles of lamps available on the market you can easily create a unique space accustomed just for you and your needs.

3. Create a mood with accent lighting. This type of lighting is the most forgotten of all types of lighting, while it can provide the entire atmosphere and influence the mood. Examples of accent lighting are picture lights, candlelight, niche lighting, lighting inside glass cabinets, etc. Chandeliers and wall sconces with installed dimmer switches can also act as accent lighting providing visual interest to the specific part of the room and adding value to your home decoration. With different accent lighting you can accentuate different architectural features of your home or draw the attention away from not so distinctive ones.


When planning the lighting scheme of your home, consider introducing all 3 layers of lighting. This way you will not only create a well-lit functional space, but add some dramatic interest to your home.
