Turquoise By The Sea { Guest Post } Arcardian Lighting

I would like to welcome Jennifer here today who is going to be guest posting for me. She is a fellow seaside lover! Thanks for being her Jennifer.

Hi all! I’m Jennifer and I write for Arcadian Lighting. I've been writing about home decor and design since graduating university and have loved it ever since. I'm addicted to patterned fabrics, Jonathan Adler, chaise lounges, old doors, milk glass jars, antiques, and chandeliers. Having grown up in South Florida I've always loved burying my toes in the sand, feeling the wash of the waves over my feet and taking in the endless ocean views, so you can understand my obsession with Seaside Style. I am thrilled to be writing this guest post on fab turquoise spaces (one of my fave colours).
Your turquoise highness

A space with high ceilings looks more intimate when it's painted in a solid shade of turquoise - a drum-shade floor lamp and ceiling light fixture provides ample light to showcase the bold colour choice of this living room.

Make a backsplash!

A subdued turquoise painted on the backsplash of a cozy kitchenette gives a quaint vignette that much more personality.

Crystals and reflections

The light fixtures of this bedroom - both the crystal wall sconces as well as the clear bauble lamp - are elegant touches, along with the mirrored end table. The tufted turquoise headboard is a fabulous centrepiece.

Lovely retro

A surprising choice - pale turquoise cabinetry along with retro-inspired blue and white patterned wallpaper - come together to create a whimsical but pretty kitchen.

A touch of colour

Sometimes just a dash of a fun colour like turquoise can up the visual impact of a room - this butcher block does the trick in a white kitchen.

True sophistication

While turquoise is often considered to be a more playful hue, when paired with white and clean architectural lines it can also be very chic. We truly adore the wall sconce and small table lamp right by the mirror.

Stylish spatters

This unique wallpaper print would work in a myriad of rooms, from a kid's space to a home office or even a bedroom for grown-ups.

Moonlighting

Inside  our homes we have specific lights that perform specific tasks, such decorative, ambient, task and accent. Each room in your home should have one of each of these. The outside of our home is no exception. We need porch lighting and walkway lighting to see, but what most of us don't do is showcase and illuminate beautiful areas outside of our home.A beautiful tree or fountain or even our pool's takes on a whole different look when beautiful light is cast upon it.
Illuminating specific areas outside of your home create a mood and add drama, much like the lighting inside your home.. .Moonlighting Landscape Lighting Systems based out of Charleston SC, does just this. Known for their work locally, on estates and luxury homes,many projects have been done in the Caribbean. Outdoor lighting such as this, does not come cheap as it is is a luxury and not a necessity.The end result is oh so worth it. if you can afford it. The curb appeal factor is huge ,it looks elegant and you never get a 2nd chance to make a first impression right? Here are some  examples of Moonlighting's beautiful work. 'BTW my son is project manager and a designer for the firm.
