Decorating Ideas For Apartment Halls - Part 2

In part two of this two part series, we look at exact tips and ideas for decorating apartment hallways...

Wood Table Lamps

Furnishings

Floors: Smooth, hard floors are the elegant, practical choice for the apartment-style hall. Pale and contemporary woodstrip flooring is light and space-defining, and looks good on its own or with a vibrant abstract construct rug or two. A flat sweep of plain floor acts as a foil for light and bold areas of color, and acts as a flattering background for the clean lines of streamlined furniture and furnishings. Alternatively, a boldly colored floor - tiles or a customized linoleum construct - can work equally well as a focal point in a low-key setting.

Lighting: This is more than functional - use it to create an sharp mood and use vibrant lampshades to create color accents. Position spots or torcheres to emphasize architectural details or color features, and place table lamps to illuminate plants, flowers, or other accessories. Take the chance to make a highlight of a central fixture with a futuristic construct or quirky chandelier in metal, glass, or plastic; or opt for a minimalist, gallery consequent with wire tracking and adjustable halogen spots; or just select the simplicity of a paper shade.

Windows: Emphasize the functional aspect of a hall window - if it has colored glass take that as a color lead for other accents - and make the most of the light. Simplicity is the key, with plain white or color accent blinds, or cotton or linen fabric panels to tone with the walls. Lace these straight through metal eyelets onto tension wires, or fit straightforward tab-headed or clip-topped curtains, hung from wrought-iron or steel rods.

Furniture: select furniture which blends with the pieces in adjoining rooms, provides useful storehouse or display potential, and looks light, airy, and uncluttered. Shelf units, a console table, a chest of drawers, or a desk can all be found in a range of sharp designs and are above all functional. Finishes can contain pale, blond wood with steel; contrasting black ash with honey-tone wood detailing; glass with wrought iron, and lacquered white or colored laminate surfaces. Hat, umbrella stands and coat hooks should match or blend with your furniture finishes. select chair or seating shapes for their sleek silhouettes - curvy organic forms or strikingly sculptural looks - and upholstery in vibrant colors. Noteworthy acid green, deep turquoise, scarlet, and ultramarine as well as neutrals, black, cream, or charcoal, are all colors that are in keeping with the contemporary style.

Details

Colorful plastics and molded resins come of age when they are used for innovative accessories in the apartment-style hall. Lamps, frames, and containers, in quirky shapes and jewel-bright colors, have the stamp of modernity and, as sleek examples of contemporary chic, can be clever or practical. Metals - brushed steel, aluminum, sand-blasted finishes, and industrial-style sheet metals such as zinc - are also accepted for details. Use them for surfaces, containers, and elegant lamps, and for fittings such as handles and hooks.

For a white or neutral setting, select one or two eye-catching color pieces to add dramatic impact. A brightly covered chair, an impressive table lamp, or the details in a pair of framed prints are good subjects. Alternatively, focus on shape and texture contrasts. Add to the visible potential of black aluminum frames, and display the group in a tight formation; or place a curvy, floor-standing iron jardiniere or coat stand where its silhouette makes a dramatic divergence with the background. Otherwise, dispose a group of the same-color objects together, as on the shelf unit on the left below, so that they create a low-key pattern and textural interest.

All About ancient Kerosene Lamps

In the late nineteenth century, and even well into the twentieth century, kerosene lamps were the main source of lighting in many households. I lived in Bush Alaska in the early to mid 1960s, where electricity was nonexistent, and at that time, kerosene lamps were the only lighting that we had.
 
It is possible to find aged kerosene lamps in aged shops today as well as in flea markets, yard and garage sales. In Great Britain, these were known as paraffin lamps. In design, kerosene lamps ranged from quite plain two very ornate and were made from many distinct types of metal, such as iron, brass, or even tin. Some were made of glass. The more ornate aged kerosene lamps are very extremely valued as collectibles and can be mounted on the wall, most often with a expedient known as a projector behind the lamp to growth the brightness.
 
There are two types of aged kerosene lamps: wick and pressure. A wick kerosene lamp has a wide, braided wick with an adjuster knob. The knob allows the wick to be moved up and down, depending on the height of flame that is required. All kerosene lamps have a reservoir, and in the case of a wick lamp, the wick is let down into the reservoir, and the fuel travels up the wick and is then burned. The wick of a kerosene lamp should be kept neatly trimmed, and should never be turned up high, as this will cause smoking and will blacken the globe.
 
In a pressure kerosene lamp, the pressurized fuel moves up through a thin tube into a mantle and is then burned. The mantle is made of a very delicate fabric treated with chemicals which are incandescent. Both kinds of kerosene lamps highlight globes which in most aged kerosene lamps, is made of glass. The globe causes an updraft, the follow of which is a brighter flame.
 
I have used both kinds of aged kerosene lamps, and I without fail prefer the wick lamp. It is very quiet, and if you keep the wick trimmed neatly it will burn with a steady, comforting glow. You know that the lamp is out of fuel when the light dies down. If the lamp is made of glass, you plainly check the level of kerosene visually. My feel with pressurized kerosene lamps has been that they tend to flare up and can be very dangerous. However, if your lamp is well maintained and burned in a safe location, you will find that kerosene lamps, whether aged or modern, are a very enjoyable source of light.
