The lampshades in particular replaced the heavy designs and designs that were done in the 70s and 80s with sleek and simple looks and what you had was just a diffused light moving across the rooms.

It was only after the makeover that the room was painted with some bright color splashes.
To augment more illumination, new lampshades with different patterns were put on the table with the rests of the transparent one, while new covers for the dining chairs have been also replaced. The Roman shades were exchanged with contemporary versions that enabled natural light into the room making the kitchen appear much larger. The new quilts that we bought for the dining table provided rich warm colors giving a perfect match to the new cabinetry of the house.
