Have you ever noticed how lighting can change the feel and look of a space?
Above and beyond the physical light that a fixture gives off, the style of the fixture you choose can enhance or detract from the look of a room.
I always look for lighting that is compatible with the style of room I’m working on, but with its own character. Lighting that is too similar to the overall style of a room can sometimes blend in and go unnoticed, versus standout and enhance a space.
Here are a few looks I love.
Colored chandeliers are a great way to add a splash of color to a room.
Paper lanterns are being used in design a lot these days and are an inexpensive way to add unique lighting to your home.
Ever thought about using outdoor lighting indoors? It’s a great option, especially is spaces that need more causal, oversized ceiling fixtures.
Double hung chandeliers are great in bedrooms or dining rooms.
I love when I step into a room and see a light fixture or lamp that is unexpected. Not only does the room feel more stylish, but the lighting adds a point of interest that gives the room character.
