Modern Light Fixtures Bring Future Forward
Modern Light Fixtures
Bringing the right amount of light to a room can be tricky, but today’s LED bulbs, high-tech controls and intriguing styles make it much easier to accomplish — and a lot more fun! Many of today’s looks draw from the space age of the 1960s, but the sleek styling combined with high-tech touches bring them solidly into 2021’s realm. Others are rooted firmly in the present, as rods and box lamps with LEDs suspended from the ceiling or wired into the wall. What brings modern light fixtures together is their efficient use of today’s lighting technology with intriguing shapes or patterns to illuminate your home for productivity and ambience.
SPUTNIK OR GLASS BURST STYLES Inspired by the space race and fascination with the stars, these updated chandeliers feature spheres of light at the end of black or gold rods to recreate the spark of innovation and burst of new technology to make satellites and space travel a reality. They set an exciting tone for the room that can be translated through many types of interior design.
LED LIGHT RODS These can be found as a single stylish rod suspended over a kitchen for task lighting or mounted on the ceiling in bunches to bring a futuristic vibe to a living room or game room. Their versatility makes them easy to customize to your taste and tasks.
PENDANT SHADES AND LANTERNS The ideal marriage of form and function, these put task lighting on task to also fill the room with a warm glow that invites family and guests to gather and gab. These look great hung alone or in sets of two or three. WALL SCONCES These don’t have to be frilled and scalloped to be installed in a home to provide additional task or accent lighting. Think clean lines and colors other than gold, and you’ve got a thoroughly modern light source.
RECESSED LIGHTING These are not showy fixtures for the most part but sunken into the ceiling so as not to take up airspace and make the room feel smaller. This increasingly popular style has several variations, including ones that push the bulb up into the ceiling (baffle trim), flush with or slightly below the ceiling (open trim) and in housings which can be angled to change the light’s direction (eyeball trim).
FLUSH MOUNTS When you crave the drama of a chandelier overhead but just don’t have the ceiling height for it, you can always go with a flush mount lamp with modern angles. If you’re tired of the flush-mount dome lights in your home you can always swap them out for an artsy statement piece.
FLOOR, TABLE AND DESK LAMPS Don’t forget about these workhorses of the lighting world. Plugging and playing gives you more freedom to play with styles and shapes.

IS THE REAL ESTATE MARKET GOING TO CRASH?
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE HIGH END MARKET?
-Ivy Zelman, Founder of Zelman & Associates z “There are marked differences in today’s run up in prices compared to 2005, which was a bubble fueled by risky loans and lenient underwriting. Today, loans with high risk features are absent and mortgage underwriting is prudent.”
-Dr. Frank Nothaft, Chief Economist CoreLogic “These outsized increases have raised concerns that a home price bubble is emerging. However, conditions today are quite different than the early 2000s, particularly in terms of credit availability. The current climb in house prices instead reflects strong demand amid tight supply, helped along by record low interest rates.”

With the mass exodus out of certain states, buyers are coming into our market with lots of cash! COVID has changed the viewpoint on where buyers want to live. They no longer need to be in the big metropolitan city, and are searching for smaller, more community centered towns across the country. This is why markets like Idaho, Arizona, Tennessee, Texas, and the Carolinas are the hottest markets in the United States. Here in Prescott, the MILLION DOLLAR plus price point is UP 260% from this time last year. In 2021 alone, there has been almost more sales above $3 Million Dollars than the previous 5 years combined. There is extremely high demand in every price range, but the supply levels are low across the country. Experts are saying that this real estate run can continue for another 5-10 years based on supply and demand.
