Decorative Lighting
Lighting plan is of vital Importance to your home decoration project. Indoor lighting complements different moods, feelings and every-day shades, practically telling the art of living. With shades of light, you can change the ambience from special to occasional and even extravagant, and create magic with special effects
Lighting Making Your Home Look Brilliant
Home lighting can dramatically influence the feel of a room, making it warm and inviting, cozy and comfortable, or cold and distant at the flip of a switch. If chosen correctly, it can have just as much influence on the look and feel of a room as your best piece of furniture. See some of the functions the lighting performs:
Focus Pocus: Put lighting to work creating focal points. Add lights to direct the eye in a new direction by focusing on a piece of art, furniture or the mantel.
Dim Some: Dimmers are an inexpensive trick-of-the-trade. They help set a special mood in the home by allowing you to manipulate the light. Install them at the wall for ceiling fixtures and even buy them for table lamps.
Space Case: Add more drama to a space with accent lighting. By illuminating the top of a bookcase, adding under-cabinet lighting or hanging a colored pendant over the kitchen island, you can create islands of light that bring the grain of the wood, the print of the wallpaper or the color of a wall to life.
Showing Personalized Taste: Every home is special. So is every individual, with his peculiar taste for shapes, patterns and inherent aesthetic sense. With all the decorative options out there today, you can use them to introduce your neighbors and guests to your taste when they are introduced into your home.
Don’t Wait: To buy lighting fixtures, it is important to plan earlier than other decorating ideas because there are frequently decisions that need to be made relative to the location and type of electrical outlet installation during construction. These decorative fixtures often are built according to individual order, so it needs time.

The Sexiest Legs
The Sexiest Legs: 5 % Longer than Average
Both for women and men By: Stefan Anitei
Long legs are really considered sexy. And if you thought than only men fix in this issue regarding women, you are wrong: women too assess how sexy a man is, based on this. A new research discovered that taller people are more physically attractive to the opposite sex, and legs that are 5 % longer than average are considered the sexiest in both genders.
"There are good evolutionary reasons for the preference. Long legs are a sign of health", lead researcher Boguslaw Pawlowski, of University of Wroclaw in Poland, told "The Guardian".
The study was made on 218 male and female subjects, put to rank the attractiveness of 7 men and 7 women from digitally altered images. All the people in the images had the same height, but their legs length was digitally processed to match the Polish medium value, or longer by 5 %, 10 % or 15 %. No matter the body shape and leg length, those with 5 % longer legs than average were considered the most attractive. The next level of attractiveness was the average leg length or 10 % longer.
However, legs 15 % longer than the average scored poorly.
"Extremely long legs in a woman could indicate poor child-bearing prospects", wrote the authors.
"Longer legs are one of many subtle cues that suggest good health, especially in women. Leg length is a good indicator of childhood nutrition in women because their legs stop growing once they reach puberty. So if a woman has long legs it suggests she grew up in a good environment and that has a positive effect on fertility. The effect in men is more subtle, because their legs continue to grow beyond puberty", said Prof Martin Tovee, of the Newcastle University.
The same research team had found that women regarded taller men as good for one night stands, but shorter men as better for committed relationships.
Many researches connected shorter legs to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity-related diabetes, in both genders, while in men this was connected to increased cholesterol levels, the main cause of arterial disease and strokes. Recently, longer legs in women have been connected to a healthier liver at an older age.
