What’s MY magic wand for creating ambiance? Lighting. It can transform any room dramatically, enhance its beauty and make less-attractive areas literally disappear in the shadows.

And here are the dramatic changes in what a room can look like…

with regular white lighting:

… or with gold-toned uplights around the perimeter…

… or transformed into a sensuous lounge with dimmed ceiling lights and dark red uplights…

… or with a “clubby” vibe in purple:

… or back to elegance with gold-toned pinspots on the individual tables:

… or (my personal favorite) illuminated by candlelight!

Point made – the room looks and feels totally different in different light.

Which one is YOUR favorite?
