On a carpeted or hard floor surface, rugs can be used to define a dining area or a conversation area. Size matters: Dining room- choose a rug that is two feet shorter than the smallest wall in the room.  Dining room rugs should extend at least 24 inches beyond the edge of the table so that the rug accommodates the dining chairs. Bedroom- try runners at each side and even the foot of the bed, or place a rug one-third of the way under the bed so the rest of the rug creates a nice mat at the bottom of the bed. Living room- rugs should fit the configuration of the room and furniture. if your rug doesn’t reach under all the furniture in your room’s central area, it’s too small.

Visitor parking is sooo cool, that light shines on it 24/7…
honestly, were no euro lighting store, but we have a wide selection of the brightest pendant, floor, and table lighting on king st east!

Here are some lighting insights to help you with your interior lighting designs.

Portable lights – like table lamps, torchieres, and floor lamps.Ambient lighting is a hidden light source that washes the room with a glow. This creates very few shadows and tends to flatten a room. Japanese paper lanterns and wall sconces both produce ambient lighting. For temporary ambient effects, use a dimmer with your ordinary lighting.

Accent lighting provides interest to a room. This method of lighting interior design highlights and object or architectural feature. To use accent lighting, you only need a bulb and a shield to direct the light to the desired focus. Halogen spotlights and opaquely shaded table lamps both provide accent lighting.

Another kind of lighting used in interior design is task lighting. This is a more practical lighting strategy, highlighting an area for daily activities such as reading, cooking, and sewing. Effective task lighting prevents eyes strain and helps with the performance of vital activities. The kitchen is a particularly good place to incorporate task lighting in your interior design. Task lighting sources should be unobtrusive and shielded to prevent glare. Task lighting can be effectively combined with accent lighting to produce lovely effects.

Some lighting can be a work of art in and of itself. Aesthetic lighting is purely decorative, such as a neon sculpture or a spotlight illuminating a statue or painting. This type of lighting must not be used alone, but accompanied by other lighting strategies in your interior design.

Of course, no survey of lighting interior design would be complete without a mention of natural light. Rooms can be arranged to take advantage of the position of the sun at different times of day. This type of lighting is also called kinetic lighting because the light from outside moves. It is one of the less reliable types, as it is affected by the seasons and the weather, but natural lighting can produce an effect unequaled by any artificial light source when used properly.

Lighting is an important tool in your design collection. The way you do your lighting affects the perception of any room. Lighting is also versatile. Using several strategies at once in a room allows you to turn any of them off, changing the look and feel with the flick of a switch. This can be effective for creating different moods in different rooms at night.

Lighting Tip – a general rule of thumb is to use a triangle pattern when lighting a space. In a living room, table lights can be placed on a console table behind a sofa and on an end table near a loveseat, while a floor lamp is placed by a lounge chair.

Furniture Toronto’s Perfect Parking Spot!

If you’ve ever wanted to know where interior designers go to shop and how they get the great prices, Visitor Parking is giving up some secrets. The showroom at 254 King Street East – a great spot to shop trendsetting furnishings, multi-functional pieces and simply sumptuous design – is now two showrooms in one.

Visitor Parking is obviously a hot spot for the design savvy with a clientele that includes numerous interior design professionals since the store has had a lot of demand for Trade access. If you’re an accredited professional, you have the access to shop the showroom or have a free consult with design professionals in your environment, and will have the opportunity to purchase at a very aggressive “Trade Only” pricepoint. It’s the last frontier of the industry – buying power.

The problem with “Trade Only” stores, ones that strictly limit access to accredited design pro’s, is that they carry great merchandise. Non-professionals who would like to purchase those great pieces simply don’t have access. If you want to shop where the pro’s shop, Visitor Parking gives you access to the same great collections, and you can buy any pieces you want.

Whether you’re shopping professionally or personally, you can’t help but love the collections you’ll find in the showroom. The lofty two-storey space in contemporary and chic. Exposed brick, wood beams and huge windows will make you crave this space for your own. Furniture is arranges in complete vignettes throughout the showroom, meticulously accessorized and well spaced. You don’t feel like you’re in a crowd of stuff to pick through, you feel the furniture is being appreciated and shown off – a gallery of home fashion.

Park yourself anywhere, from chaises and davenports to dining chairs and bar stools and experience the pieces. See how the height and size relates to complimentary furniture.Vignettes maximize on floor space, so a lot of these relate to the limitations of condo, responding to the needs of a small space in more ways than just scale.

It’s one thing to buy furniture that fits, and another to buy the right furniture that fits. The right furniture enhances your living space. Storage, for example. is always an issue in a small space. 525sq. ft. might accommodate your lifestyle, but you’ll probably need help accommodating your books, your wardrobe and keepsakes – never mind where to put the guest bed. Well thought through multifunctional furniture provides the help your space needs. There are coffee tables that raise and extend so that your living room becomes a dining room to host great dinner parties. There are beds that lift to reveal storage beneath the mattress, hollow benches with room for things that shouldn’t be on display, or how about an ottoman that actually has a pull-out bed for the overnighters…Imagine all that extra room.
