All the news is dark and gloomy these days, so I think it is a great time to talk about lighting. This post is the first of a series of mini-posts about lighting, my literal attempt to light up your life.
Have you been to a lighting galley recently or even just browsed online? If you have, you know that lighting fixtures once thought of as just being functionally necessary have evolved into spectacular works of art.
When strolling through my favorite lighting stores, I am in awe of the opportunities of expression these beautiful fixtures present. I know that the right lighting fixture can elevate the drama in a room and set the stage for style.
Often for me, It is difficult to resist the impulse to indulge in a new set of lamps. When I see sensational lamps, I immediately think, where can I put those because I most definitely need them! Today’s lamp designs offer many choices of sizes, colors, and shades—what a superb opportunity to make a splash in a room.
Because I am infatuated with lamps, I am often surprised when clients say they don’t need lamps because they have ceiling lighting. This statement tells me that many people don’t realize lighting needs to be layered and come from various sources. In my opinion, the more, the better.
In upcoming posts, we will talk about the different lighting types. This first blog post’s purpose is to open your eyes to what lighting fixtures offer aesthetically and get you excited about lighting up your world.
