One of the best ways to transform your home is through the judicious use of lighting.

After the pine cones dry, place them in a decorative basket.When you enter a modern home today, the foyer is what leaves you with the first impression of what the rest of the home is like. If it�s plain, undecorated or drab, the impression will usually linger and affect the way you see the rest of the house. If the foyer is small or over-furnished, you may be left with a sense of being closed-in or crowded. If the foyer is not well lit or the lighting doesn�t enhance the overall entryway, you may be left with the impression that the home is dark or even gloomy. Finally, if the lighting in the foyer is ostentatious or over-done (for example, the chandelier may be far too large) an impression of tastelessness may result and will probably affect your impression of the homeowner.I sincerely hope that this brief article will provide you with the proper perspective and mind-set when you consider the lighting needs in your foyer area.* What is the purpose of the room?1. Display your favorite Christmas collections. If you don�t have a collection, now is a great time to start! My son and I collect nutcrackers and every year we have a wonderful time selecting just the right one. With a permanent marker, I write the year on the bottom of the nutcracker. Not only do we enjoy looking at the nutcrackers during the holidays, we also enjoying the fond memories of selecting them.13. Attach garland and Christmas bows to your chandelier. You can also weave strings of red beads in the garland that will dangle down from your chandelier and reflect the light, which will add sparkle.15. Don�t forget to decorate your fireplace mantel and hang your Christmas stockings. A few fireplace mantel decorating ideas are adding garland, different styles and sizes of Santas, teddy bears, and candles. You can also display your favorite nativity scene if you have a large enough mantel.One exciting thing to remember is that the world of illumination is a constant state of development. You can now get modern lights that offer great versatility. An example is the dual purpose light that comprises one lamp shining upwards to the ceiling to create ambient light with a standard lamp that creates task lighting for reading. These types of lights offer great flexibility and allow you to illuminate your home with ease and convenience.
