Traditional Styles
If you're not into the modern look, perhaps a simple or more traditional lighting solution is for you. There are often many design lighting products available at your local home improvement, local lighting or online stores. These stores provide a wide variety of lighting fixtures that can add a warm whimsical mood to any room. Adding sconces to your media room will give it that movie theater feel and add soft lighting too.
Try hanging colored glass pendant lights above that breakfast bar. Not only will it provide you additional warm and light but invite your guests to take seat and talk the night away, no doubt about the wonderful job you did on the lighting! Remember that chandelier hanging in the front foyer! Look to make a statement and open that room up with warm inviting light, which will add a focal point, shining as a beacon to the curb outside drawing your guests' attention before they even ring your doorbell.
Kid's Room
Don't forget the kid's room! The focal point of any theme is often the lighting in a kid's room. A hand painted mural of fairies and mystical woods complete with purple unicorns, giant butterflies and a giant red and white polka-dot mushroom would look pretty odd with a simple builders stock light. Be creative by lighting the room with whimsical lighting solutions. Often you can find great online stores that offer interesting kids lighting fixtures which will blend nicely into that magical place called their room. Think of sconces placed perfectly in line with that painted lamp post or the large whimsical painted flower's which will give it that magical glow and add a soft light that will chase away the dark to comfort your little ones at night.
