4 Ways to Elevate Your Home with Statement Lighting
1. Install decorative lighting in unexpected areas
Whether it’s a crystal chandelier in the bathroom, a bold pendant in the home office or a pair of whimsical mini-pendants above a bedside table – using unexpected lighting in different areas of the home is an easy way to make a fashion statement. Not only can the type of fixture create a distinctive style accent, but focusing on areas of the home that are typically void of decorative fixtures altogether can be a distinguishing factor. Who’s to say the mudroom can’t be outfitted with a beautiful chandelier?
The Equinox chandelier provides an unexpected style element that takes this home office to a whole new level of design.
2. Create multi-fixture displays with pendants and mini-chandeliers
The trend to group fixtures in clusters of two or more is a sure way to catch the attention of friends and family. Through light, contrast, and reflection, lighting provides a style element that cannot be achieved with other accessories. When installed in groups, the effect is multiplied! Natural areas for grouping pendants or chandeliers include a two-story foyer, above a breakfast nook, or over a dining room table.
The unique form and layered glass of the Caress pendants add to an impressive kitchen scene. The water glass element adds rich texture and playful reflections.
3. Select lighting that incorporates artistic elements
As David Peek put it – lighting can be (very literally) a work of art. Fixtures with craftsman elements provoke interest and intrigue in the home. Progress Lighting offers many fixtures with handcrafted features such as hand-painted finishes, blown glass, and hand-bent forms. Fixtures that are made by hand suggest a one-of-a-kind appeal for a one-of-a-kind home.
Switch out your traditional chandelier with a new row of pendants to light your dining room table setting.
4. Don’t be afraid to make changes
Update your existing fixtures with small changes to bring a fresh vibe to a room. Crown your favorite fixture with off-white shades to bring in an elegant appeal as you prepare for holiday entertaining. Or, install vintage Edison bulbs in your kitchen pendants to create a warm, inviting glow and captivating design element. It’s the little things that make the difference.
