REFINISHING

Furniture Making

SUBSCRIPTION pages 68-69 pages 10-11

Just walk ing into a lighting showroom can seem overwhelming! There are so many lighting options to choose from. Where do you begin?

Some fixtures direct the light up; some direct the light down. Some are attached to the walls; some hang from the ceiling. Should I consider a floor lamp or a table lamp? Thank goodness when purchasing a new lighting fixture, the lamp shade is included. But what if I want to purchase an antique lamp or I inherited a table lamp that comes without a lamp shade? What type of lamp shade should I buy to properly complement the lamp (pages 10-11)?

Lighting our homes is complicated! It is so easy to get caught up in the design and color of the light fixture that sometimes we can forget lighting needs to provide a function aside from aesthetically improving the interior design. A well-lit, bright room feels bigger while dark rooms can feel smaller. There are shadows to consider along with how much natural light is coming into the room before making those artificial lighting choices. Layering the lighting in a space is of utmost importance too (pages 68-69).

Lighting your spaces can be tricky, and if you want to make sure you get the atmosphere and mood you’re looking for, bring in the lighting experts.

Frank Lloyd Wright nailed it as always!
