Constantly Improving Artificial Lighting
The article traces a shift in artificial lighting from wall and ceiling fixtures toward lamps and indirect lighting. It notes a plural trend and suggests a mixed approach may be ideal, with utilitarian rooms using ceiling lights and specialized areas like over sinks potentially favoring indirect lighting in the future.
Lighting Trends for Homes in Modern Interiors
The article discusses using strong direct light where work is done and a mix of lamps and indirect lighting in living rooms, libraries, and social areas. Indirect lighting provides general illumination, while lamps suit reading. Candles remain flattering on dining tables, and bedrooms favor indirect lighting with ceiling fixtures or lamp at the dressing table. More wall outlets will enable more lamps as electric rates stay low and equipment costs fall.

The guide advises smoothing the face, removing ridges, and applying several finishes. Start with a stain for depth, especially on dark floors. If edge grained, mix stain with filler, then apply wax after filler. Expect about three coats as wood absorbs some finish.
