Ideally, according to Rosi, the aquarium placed in a position that does not interfere with views and street lanes in the room.
“In addition, we must consider the proportion of jelly, both the proportion of space, location, or other objects around him. Proportion here could be the form and dimensions. All these depend on the condition of the room, “said Rosi.
Rosi added, we can use the aquarium as a semi-permanent transparent screen to separate the two spaces are non-private. Alternatively, place the aquarium in places negative, in the sense that lack tempattempat activity. Or, we may also use a small aquarium ball-shaped quarter, and posted on the wall.
Usually it filled an aquarium or a pair of fish only. The placement is appropriate, now only think of the lighting system for the aquarium also has a function room lighting.
Yes, the aquarium can be used as a means of artificial illumination for the dark room and lack of natural light, or used as lighting on the often darkened room while the occupants were sleeping, such as living room and family room.
The effect of light is one of the supporting elements that can change the aquarium look more attractive space. Way, call Rosi, place the aquarium lights as if hidden or not visible directly.
“So, the light was good to make the aquarium as having their own light, or in other words create a glowing aquarium,” added Rosi.
Adjust the size of a large aquarium lamp. Similarly, light colors, needs to be adjusted with the theme of the room, which also functions as artificial UV to the survival of the inhabitants of the aquarium.
Other creative ways, make light of the aquarium by putting lights in the ceiling, but that can transparent to the room below. Effect of light produced can be very good.
Type Minimalist

There is also an aquarium which is only about the size of the jar. Although little seen, this type of jar can affect the beauty of a room. According to Rosi, a small aquarium is very commonly used in residential minimalist style. This type of aquarium can provide distinguishing the effects of the elements around him.
Nature tend to contrast and very appropriate transparency applied to the massive space, simple, or lonely.
“These effects are usually arises from something small in the big or little. That is one theory in a minimalist design, which is something small or a little, but are felt in the simple space. Location can be unusual, “he added.
Aquarium minimalist type typically use a simple frame, hardly even have a motive or the frame. This aquarium is inversely related to ethnic type. This aquarium types often use carved wooden frames. Similarly, the classical design aquarium.
In the aquarium this model, the frame used to have more details. “Types of ethnic and classic aquarium can use as a place for akuarium.Namun table minimalist style, technique peletakannya more free,” said Rosi.

LAMPS park generally seem trivial, it can create a variety of exciting atmosphere when packed neatly. The bright light makes all objects visible park. Dim light creates a romantic atmosphere. In fact, the park lights are placed under the pool can create a shadow of water.

According to Early, the laying of a special spotlight for a somewhat hidden position. Therefore, the potential for disturbing the beauty of the park is minimal. According to him, the presence of the park with a touch of art and the imagination will give a dramatic and romantic effect.
Standing lamp itself has a slightly different function spotlight though both light garden. The lamp model is only functioning as a general light. That is, illuminated lawn area, which is usually placed side edge of the park.
Therefore, the laying of the election or garden lights should be adjusted to the desired atmosphere. This is because the existence of the park lights could form an atmosphere. Harmonization rules also required the following in mind when putting the lamp design selection to create a fitness aspect.
Therefore, the selection of garden lights had to be adjusted to the basic concept of the park. To park with traditional concepts, for example, lighting design presented must reflect lawasnya model. This can be done by adding the element of wood. Once the adjustments are also other parks architectural concepts that must be harmonized with the design of the lamp.
For lighting depends entirely on your taste. Want to bring an atmosphere of bright or dim. Whatever the choice, most of the lighting in the park should be equally impressed not to shabby for a part of the dark.

If the park there is a fish pond or pool, the presence of light with any number of more compulsory presented. “For the night, lighting is very important because it will give ‘life’ in the pond environment,” said a member of Indonesian Association of Landscape Architecture (IALI) Ir Nirwono Yoga.
The lamp can be placed in the water, highlighting the top and give effect to light with the shadows of water. Alternatively, put the lights on the statues or plants which shone into the pool. This option is intended to highlight the pond with the shadows of objects in the pool. However, he suggested, the use of light not too much. The reason, the scene in the pool just is not exotic anymore.
