Eye-catching illumination inside historical buildings

Castles, churches and other historical buildings are usually on my top travel destinations. Aside from being interested with the architecture of the building and the exterior details, going inside can be even more breathtaking. For instance the interiors of the cathedrals such as the St. Vitus Cathedral and the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul at the Vysehrad Castle are elaborately done, with the detailed chapels at the sides decorated with statues or paintings and other interesting artifacts. Not to miss are the beautiful hanging lamps and chandeliers which provide a subdued mood.

Chandeliers and other stylish lighting fixtures lend an artistic touch to a room, aside from providing mood lighting. They’re even considered as art centerpieces to hotels and some homes. Finding one for your home can’t be that easy though since they should complement the room’s look.

     

For those who would like to have a bit of traditional castle interior look for their homes, there are many styles for chandeliers and other home lighting available. For instance, at Littman Bros. they have crystal, art deco, casual and other styles for chandeliers (as shown above), including indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures. Another great idea for a striking home illumination is installing side table lamps in the bedroom or using vanity lighting in the bathroom. Browsing over their products can provide more ideas for future home lighting projects.
