All things bright and beautiful...
August 2008
Great lighting can transform
an average home that
guests will soon forget, to
a memorable one that will
suit anybody’s taste.

Sorry to remind you but the dark nights
are approaching so, now is the time to
start preparing for the winter months and
fill your home with beacons of warmth
and light from Fishpools.
Lighting now plays a serious role in
interior design and trends have moved
away from having standard central fitted
lights to more atmospheric designs.
Fishpools has a new refitted lighting
department dedicated to this important
process and have some great tips for
creating the look you want.
Next time you find yourself in a space
which you love and feel most comfortable
in, whether it be a restaurant, a bar or
your friends’ home, take a note of how it
is lit and see whether you can incorporate
those ideas into your home.
Before you head off to the shops and buy
the first lights you see, assess your natural light first. It is best to do this on
a dark wintry day rather than a bright
summer one as you need to consider the
worst case lighting scenario.
Once you have assessed the natural light
which flows into your room, make a list
of any activities that will be carried out
in that room. Whether it is peeling
vegetables, reading your favourite book or
applying your makeup, this will determine
where and if task lighting is needed.
Ok so you have planned and planned,
now for the fun task... shopping!
Fishpools has an extensive range of
leading brands such as Waterford,
Moorcroft, Florence, Franklite, Dar and
Fantastic Crystal. With all of this choice
you may find it hard to choose, but rest
assured Fishpools’ staff are on hand to
offer you top class advice and assistance.
Whether you have a modern or traditional
home the lighting department will guarantee you find something you will
love, whether it is decorative table lamps,
task lighting or wall fittings.
There are several wall fitting designs to
choose from such as the "Cooper", a
contemporary design available in a
polished or black chrome finish. This
particular design is really beautiful and
would make a stylish wall feature in a
living room.
Everybody knows chandeliers are the height
of elegance and make a statement on their
own. If you would like a timeless collection
that will last a lifetime the elegant
‘Harlequin’ is a must have buy. With black
fittings and black and clear glass drops, it will look perfect over a large dining room table or add real "wow" to a hallway.
Are we already whetting your appetite?
Let’s not forget the importance of floor
and table lamps - when you think about
it they are an everyday necessity when it
comes to relaxing. Perfect for the
bedroom, try the "Urn" table lamps. Simple
and versatile this kind of lamp will suit
any interior scheme.
So if you are getting ready for the winter
and looking for extra warmth and light,
head for Fishpools new lighting
department.
