Moody lighting is something tricky to achieve due to our harsh Australian sunlight, but here are some ideas to help you control the light in a room. First, have a few different lighting options.
Chandeliers are great, particularly if they have a dimmer switch, so you can control the twinkle of the light reflecting on the glass. Standard lamps are also a wonderful way to highlight different corners of a room.
Table lamps, particularly when set on low side tables, help pick up the light on upholstery fabrics and will spill little circles of light onto the floor, which will add to the play of light and shade in your room. (The sumptuous
