Swinging in with Rope Lighting

       I know the thought of rope lighting makes us think of Christmas and the hassle of putting them up. Rope lighting is actually now the future of illuminating  architectural pieces of a house or to create a emotional feeling through color.

          Rope lighting is used plenty in kitchens. They are used in cabinets to highlight objects, in niches to display pieces, and to add a focal point to a ceiling. The lighting in this space enhances the space and colors of the wood through the glow of the lamps (bulbs) of the rope lighting.

I would definitely kick back in this lounge! The lighting from the pendants create a glow of cool lighting and coordinate with the rope lighting displayed behind the seating.

        Most rope lighting is seen on ceilings and kitchens. This bar on the other hand, displays non- architectural strings of rope lighting underneath the bar. Reflection of the light helps enhance the seating and the touch of color to the floor.

         Another way to use rope lighting would to enhance a piece of art work or in this case a mural of the sky. The detail of the color blue illuminates the  clouds making you feel like you are outside looking at the sky.

            When it comes to design we can forget the ceiling and by adding  lighting  to this space it creates the comfortable atmosphere that is need in a living area.  I just love rope lighting and I hope that some day I can display it in my home......only to convince my husband. Hmmmm.
