Lighting: Creative Planning for Successful Lighting Solutions

by Elizabeth Wilhide

Lighting is as integral a factor in any interior design plan as color, objects, and arrangement. Wilhide understands that lighting is more than simply what we see; it's also how we feel. Lighting is a central factor in how any space influences our moods. This big, lavish book provides practical help on positioning and installing light sources throughout every room of the home. Dramatically and beautifully illustrated with more than 300 color photographs, it also includes source lists for the specific fixtures and lamps shown. A casual perusal of the lively photographs alone will give the reader inspiration and fire the imagination for creative use of light for dramatic effect, to soothe or relax, to warm a room, or to cool it down visually. This book is not only fun to look at, but also practical and useful for any would-be decorator, beginner or professional. --Mark A. Hetts
