Wall Lighting With Your Style in Mind

It has come to my attention that many of my readers have very little information when it comes to wall lighting. I get contacted all the time by my friends in cyberspace who would like to have a general idea of what is available to them in the form of wall lighting. Some of them go as far as to tell me what room they intend to install wall lights and include the theme or style of room decor, so I am able to suggest the wall lighting best to fill their needs.

This is what gave me the idea to write this information on wall lighting. I’m hoping this information will reach those of you who are eager to learn more on this subject and take advantage of what is available to you in the world of wall lighting fixtures.

I’m going to start out by giving you a list of suggested rooms and walls that are quite appropriate to accommodate wall lighting. Although this is a comprehensive list, you may be able to come up with other walls in which to install wall lighting.

You may want to consider installing wall lighting fixtures on walls in the following: Bathroom, Bedroom, Breakfast Room, Closet, Den, Dining Room, EntryFoyer, Exterior, Family Room, Garage, Hall, Kitchen, Living Room, Mudroom, Office, Patio, Porch, Study and Walkway.

Now, switching over to the styles available to you, you will see that the variety is abundant. This is by no means all that there is available in wall lighting styles, but this will give you a good idea of what you have to choose from. Also, the information I will provide to you will include indoor and outdoor wall lighting fixtures.

Getting back to the styles of wall lighting available to you, you have American, Art Deco, Arts & Crafts/Mission, Asian, Casual, Classic, Classical, Contemporary, Country, Crystal, Eclectic, European, Industrial, Iron & Rustic, Modern, Neoclassical, Oriental, Period/Decor Specific, Retro, Safari, Tiffany, Traditional, Transitional and Tropical, just to name quite a few of these wall lighting works of art.

After you have decided on the particular style that will match the overall decor of the place you wish to install wall lighting, you will want to consider how many lights each fixture will support. You can start at one light per fixture and work your way up from there.

At this point you will want to explore the finish/color of the wall lighting fixture your are searching for. Here too, keep in mind that the finish you end up with will have a lot to do with theme of the room.

Although there are many finishes and colors to choose from, I will list the most popular. These wall lighting fixtures are available in Black, Brass, Bronze, Brown, Chrome, Copper, Gold, Iron, Nickel, Pewter, Rust, Satin, White and Wood. Keep in mind that with paint, you can change the color of any of these wall lighting fixtures to a custom color of your choosing.

One more topic to consider when searching for wall lighting is the type of bulb your lighting fixture will accommodate. If you are trying to go “green” to conserve on energy and save on your electric utility bill, then try to go with wall lighting fixtures that use florescent, compact florescent lighting (CFL Bulbs) or LED lighting if available in the wall lighting fixture you are looking for.

The wall lighting fixture you choose can make the difference between just lighting the way and making a brilliant decorative statement. With the vast variety of these beautiful fixtures available to you, there is all the reason why you can brighten up your walls with a fashionable illuminating display.

How do I find information without going to sites selling stuff?

I have been trying to identify marks on an old bronze wall plaque among other items. Every site that comes up is selling something.
And information on a particular artist.

I guess what I am asking is where are the information sites???

I think I would need more information about what kind of wall plaque (and other items) you are researching to help you with your specific items. I can, however, give you some internet research advice:

* Pay attention to the root website name of the search results. If the name of the website, if it doesn't seem obviously associated with the topic then that's a clue. Example: think twice about visiting sites that have unrecognizable names.

* Pay attention to the rest of the website address. If you see your search terms (or a variation on them) in the website address then it's probably one of those annoying websites without information.

* Try using advanced search terms and commands in whatever search engine you're using. Google, for example, has a whole list of advanced search operators that can be very useful (http://www.google.com/help/operators.htm... Yahoo also allows for search operators (http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/ti... Others will too, check out their help sections for tips on searching by file type, website, or whatever.

* Search the deep web. Think of the internet like an iceberg in the ocean. Part of the iceberg is visible above water, but the rest (and largest part) is hidden below in the depths of the ocean. Search engines see the top part; the rest is contained in online databases and folders. To find these databases you'll want to open up your search by searching on the topic or general area of interest. Type your topic into a search engine and include the word "database" and see what you find.

Wall Plaques - not Just Awards, Memorial or Bronze

When you think of wall plaques, most people think of award plaques, some think memorial plaques and yet others think bronze plaques. Well I’m here to set the record straight. There is more here to meet the eye. All you have to do is think decorative.

I too was unfamiliar with the decorative side of wall plaques. After some research on the subject of wall plaques, I discovered that there are some interesting artful wall plaques available to add a decorative touch to almost every decorative theme.

So let’s explore our options and see what choices we have when contemplating the addition of a decorative wall plaque. For those who are searching for the elegant look of stone, your choice would be the Aged Stone Collection. Here you have the timeless beauty of stone.

When it comes to choice, your selections in this category are Genius of Sleep, Wind and Sun, Peach Bracket, Detail over Door, Sunflower, Laughing Lion, Fleur De Lis of Old, Poseidon Wall Mask, Emperor, Little Boy Spring and many more. There isn’t enough room to describe all of the Aged Stone Collection here, so it will be up to you to go online and see this wonderful collection for yourself.

Now we will take a look at Fiberglass Collection of decorative wall plaques. Although this is a fiberglass collection, all of these wall plaques have the appearance of aged stone. The process involved to make these plaques appear to be stone is a form of art in itself.

Here you have four categories. These categories are Friezes, Garden Plaques, Reliefs and Mirrors and Frames. I will do my best to describe all of these to you.

In the category of Friezes you have 32 titles to choose from. These range from Angel Statue of Peace to Pomegranate Harvest, from Rose Outdoor Garden Urn to Warriors & Slaves and everything in between. You have to see these to really appreciate the detail.

In the Garden Plaques category of the Fiberglass Collection you have 56 titles to choose from. These titles range from Rosette Remnant with Frame to Cherubs of Springtime Plaque, from Heavenly Wine Makers to Wild Hare Relief. Here too there is a wide range of choice. I also wanted to mention that although this is called the “Garden Plaque” category, these beautiful plaques are an exquisite addition to the walls of any room in your home.

Our next category in the Fiberglass Collection is Reliefs. With Reliefs your choices range from Anima Relief to Estiva Relief, from Renaissance Greenman Relief to Last Supper Wall Relief, from San Galgano Horizontal Relief to Voyageur Du Monde Wall Relief and more. To truly appreciate the artwork of these reliefs you have to view them online. Words on this page will not do justice to this detailed art form.

Our final category in the Fiberglass Collection is Mirrors and Frames. This is a beautiful collection of 18 titles to choose from. Although these are a form of wall mirror, if you take a look at these, you will see that there is a strong relationship to wall plaques in their design.

The titles in this Mirrors and Frames range from Angel Statues on the Sea Mirror to Babies in Leaves Mirrored, from Blair Mirror to Martire Mirror, from Oval Scroll Mirror to Theatre Accent Mirrored and more. If you are the person who never thought a mirror would go anywhere in your home except for the bathroom or bedroom, you will be rethinking you opinions on wall mirrors after you take a good look at these.

The subject of Wall Plaques encompasses a large variety of wall hanging art. Once you are introduced to the magnificent collection of artful wall plaques available, you are going to see these wondrous wall hanging artworks in an entirely new light.
