Mission Oak and Mica Lamps
The right mission oak lighting can add drama and elegance to your rooms. Different mission oak lamps lighting effects contribute to create atmosphere. General or ambient mica or stained-glass lighting begins to se the mood; whether turned up bright or dimmed down low. The even glow of mica shaded lamps or a mission chandelier sets the tone. The mission oak light through a pleated shade is exactly the tone of this rich warm light. Ambient mission oak lighting often works along with task lighting; an arts and crafts lamp pulled up next to a reading chair or next to a bed provides the direct beam of light that is the task light. This is the light that lets you read or work in a dimly lit room. But it is also the contrast between general mission oak light and the sharper pools of task light that provide mystery and drama to the interior. The most romantic lighting is accent lighting in our world that means mica lamp shades. The gleam of candles through mica hurricanes, the glow of votives in stained glass scattered through the room across the dining room table or along the mantel. Tappers aloft above a dining table, bathe the china and crystal in a soft glow, nothing is more atmospheric than mission oak light. Often all three types of light are used together as a dark entrance hall glow with candles and barely a glimmer of a mission oak chandelier in the hall gives way to the brighter sparkle from silk shades and crystal from the room beyond.
