When it comes to decorative fluorescent light covers, you have a wide range of options to choose from in terms of where and how you choose to use these innovations in decorative lighting.

With that said, with such a variety of areas to choose from, you may find it a bit challenging to figure out where, exactly, to install your light covers for the optimum effect. After all, decorative light covers are not simply for making a room look great and wowing guests, but they are also ideal for expanding a space significantly.

For instance, when you choose to install cloud themed light covers -- which are available now at OctoLights.com -- on your bathroom ceiling, you're not only giving the space a unique visual focal point, but you're also creating the illusion of added square footage.

These light covers, in particular, work similar to real skylights in that they will be viewed as a window, without the actual cost associated with actually adding a skylight to your bathroom.

Beyond the added space and visual appeal, light covers also provide additional benefits, including decreasing the harsh light produced by standard fluorescent light fixtures, which could cause migraines and lead to a decrease in productivity.

This is why decorative fluorescent light covers are ideal for areas that are generally used as work spaces or offices, as they can truly increase workflow and keep you feeling comfortable throughout the day.

Now that you are aware of the real benefits decorative fluorescent light covers can provide, let's explore just some of the best applications and uses for these incredible innovations in decorative lighting:

Decorative Fluorescent Light Covers For Your Home

Adding decorative fluorescent light covers to one's home is, by far, the most common reason why folks choose to purchase our light covers, and for good reason.

Decorative fluorescent light covers act as the perfect addition to any room in your house, and can be used in a wide variety of ways to enhance your living spaces and beyond. At the beginning of this article, we covered the best way to use decorative light covers in your bathroom, but what about the other spaces in your home?

Installing Light Covers In Your Living Room

Creating an accent wall for your living room is a unique way to give the most used space in your home the focal point it needs; and what better way to create an accent wall than with a unique fluorescent light cover?

For instance, try combining your living room's decor -- whether it be modern, contemporary, rustic or anything in between -- with landscape light covers, which depict gorgeous mountainscapes and scenes of nature to bring the outdoors inside.

Installing Light Covers In Your Kitchen

Nothing could be more agitating than having a cramped kitchen. After all, a kitchen should be one of the brightest, and most inviting areas of your home, as it's where you and your family will make precious memories while cooking and eating meals together.

Thankfully, with decorative fluorescent light covers, you can substantially create the look of increased space, without paying for pricey renovations or additions. How?

Try installing cloud light covers on your kitchen ceiling, and you'll instantly feel as if you have real skylights, with a view of the gorgeous blue sky outside.

Installing Light Covers In Your Child's Playroom

Yet another area of your home where light covers work great is in your child's bedroom or playroom.

Decorative fluorescent light covers can seriously enhance your child's imagination and effectively capture their unique personality and interests in an entirely unique way. For instance, you can create custom light covers with images some of your child's favorite superheroes or animated movie characters.

You can even create light covers that display photos of your child and your family while on vacation or at their youth sporting event.

Not only will you be making your child's space all their own, but you'll give their room a central theme that will be appreciated by guests and family members alike.

Decorative Fluorescent Light Covers For Your Business

Running a small business is no easy feat, and takes careful planning and budgeting to be a success.

Not to mention, you have to constantly be finding new and unique ways to stand out from your competition and bring new customers into your business. With this in mind, you could either spend an astronomical amount of money on advertisements and complex marketing campaigns, or you can choose fluorescent light covers for advertising your business.

No matter what type of business you run -- be it a restaurant/cafe, retail store, or anything in between -- decorative fluorescent light covers can effectively attract new customers.

Utilizing Fluorescent Light Covers For A Restaurant

Restaurant owners are constantly looking for ways to stay ahead of their competition by introducing new menu items and other promotions. In this regard, fluorescent light covers are the perfect option to help get new diners into your establishment.

You can create light covers that perfectly showcase your most popular dishes, new items on the menu, or weekly specials, which can then be installed at the front of your restaurant to entice potential customers walking by.

Using fluorescent light covers in this way will work for any type of restaurant or eatery, including bars, coffee shops, and sit-down eateries.

Utilizing Fluorescent Light Covers For a Retail Store

Similar to a restaurant, retail stores need to consistently be advertising their products in order to get new customers in the doors, while accommodating existing customers at the same time.

This can be done perfectly through the use of custom decorative fluorescent light covers that display images of exciting new products that have just arrived, or items on sale at that particular time.

Install these light covers at the front of your store, or even throughout the retail space to keep your customer's thinking about the products you have in stock and products on their way.

Utilizing Fluorescent Light Covers For Advertising Any Business

Beyond advertising your products, items, or services within your own establishment, you should consider creating custom advertisements with light covers for use in areas outside your place of business.

This can include bus stations, shopping malls, as well as other stores and businesses, such as your local grocery shop, post office, vet clinic, and more. These ads can include something as simple as an image of a new product, or give potential customers detailed info, like your address, phone number, and social media channels.

Decorative Fluorescent Light Covers For Schools

Giving students every opportunity to succeed, in order for them to get the most out of their education, is the goal of every great teacher.

Unfortunately, some schools -- while having brilliant teachers on staff -- may not have the resources to provide an environment in the classroom that is inviting and comfortable in order to allow their students to keep their productivity level high.

Most classrooms feature dull white walls, and harsh fluorescent lighting, which can hurt your chances (as a teacher) of keeping your students fully engaged in whatever subject you're teaching.

Thankfully, teachers can opt for unique and educational fluorescent light covers to fully enhance their classroom and keep their students focused on their academics. Here's how.

Using Light Covers In The Astronomy Classroom

Astronomy is a tough subject to teach, especially for younger students, however, when done correctly it's typically one that is found most enjoyable to learn by children of all ages.

The reason is simple: stars and our solar system will always be one of the most fascinating subjects to talk about and discuss. Thankfully, with astronomy light covers -- which display breathtaking star patterns and galaxies -- you can keep your students fully immersed in astronomy at all times.

You can even use these light covers -- which can be installed on your classroom ceiling -- as a visual aid, to help students learn how certain star patterns look and where they are located in the sky.

Using Light Covers In The History Classroom

History classrooms are another ideal location for decorative fluorescent light covers; specifically custom light covers, which can be created using images of important events and moments from our world's past.

For instance, you can create light covers that display images of Julius Caesar, King Tut, Galileo, or Queen Elizabeth. These images will not only show your students what staples of history looked like, but can be perfect for setting the tone of your classroom with unique and fun wall or ceiling art.

Using Light Covers In The Mathematics Classroom

Yet another major subject that is ideal for custom decorative fluorescent light covers, math can be fully enhanced -- no matter what grade you're teaching -- with light covers that display popular math problems and solutions.

You can even create light covers displaying examples of particular math problems (and solutions) that will be included on an upcoming test or exam, to help your students study and succeed.

Decorative Fluorescent Light Covers For Celebrations

When it comes to celebrating -- whether it be for a birthday, holiday, wedding, baby shower, anniversary or anything in between -- the proper celebratory decor can make all the difference.

Sadly, you may find the typical decor, found at your local party shop, to be lacking in terms of uniqueness and personability. Fortunately, with custom decorative light covers, you can create a unique and personal centerpiece for any celebratory event or get-together.

Utilizing Fluorescent Light Covers To Celebrate A Birthday

Creating custom light covers for a birthday party or celebration -- whether it be for your child, parent, or significant other -- is the ideal way to show your loved one you care while bringing in a personal touch to the birthday celebration.

For example, you can create light covers that display photographs of the birthday boy or girl from their childhood, on a recent trip, or even create multiple light covers that showcase a timeline of that person's life with photos taken at different points of their child and adulthoods.

Using light covers in this way also works great for other personal celebrations, such as anniversaries, bat mitzvah's, wedding showers, and even graduation parties.

Utilizing Fluorescent Light Covers For Holidays

For most, holidays are the greatest parts of the year, and should be celebrated as such with holiday decor that fully encapsulates the charm of that particular season.

You can create light covers that display everything from Christmas trees, and Santa Claus (in December) to pumpkins, ghouls, zombies, and witches (in October). You can even add custom light covers to your outdoor holiday display.

For Valentine's Day, you can even create light covers that showcase photos of you and your significant other to be installed in your dining room to enhance a romantic Valentine's Day dinner.
