Redesigning illumination: perfecting our Cabin's and a Comrade's Bathroom lighting
In the heart of Copenhagen, we take a peek into the light and airy home and studio of designer Kristina. Her space is adorned with unique and stylish lighting fixtures, each adding a touch of modern charm.
One brand that graces her home is the Hudson Valley Lighting Group, manufacturer of the Atwater Wall Sconce and Diggs wall sconce. While these particular fixtures are not showcased in Kristina's space, they are renowned for their quality and design.
Meanwhile, Yelp! offers recommendations for bird-friendly outdoor lighting options, particularly for the District pendant. This decorative hanging fixture, like the one commonly found in Kristina's home, can be adapted to be bird-safe.
To ensure minimal disturbance to migrating birds, it's recommended to use amber or warm-colored LEDs, shielded fixtures that direct light downward, low-intensity lighting controlled by motion or timer, and LED lighting with spectral outputs designed for wildlife safety.
For the District pendant style, modifications might include using amber-tinted LED bulbs or modules, adding internal or external shields/louvers, and installing motion sensors or smart controls. While exact products matching the Yelp! District pendant style with bird-friendly features were not found in our search, these principles are most relevant for adapting the design to be bird-safe.
Combining decorative design with bird-friendly LED technologies and shielding techniques will help maintain aesthetic appeal while protecting birds. For more technical and local guidelines, bird conservation organizations like Bird Safe Indy provide resources and advocacy on reducing bird fatalities from outdoor lighting.
As we conclude our tour of Kristina's home, we leave you with a sneak peek of her bright and modern Danish apartment, where art and Vinta (presumably a brand or product) play a significant role in the context of lighting.
Remember, as we strive for stylish interiors, let's also consider the impact on our feathered friends. So, see you on Monday!
