Statement Lighting for Every Room

Heidi Milton

I think when we talk about “statement lighting” we automatically think dining room chandelier.  But today’s lighting designers have made it easy to envision statement lighting in every room of your home by varying shapes, sizes and finishes.  A statement lighting piece can be the crowning jewel on the simplest decor.  And if you haven’t shopped light fixtures in a while, you’re in for a treat! Today I’m sharing inspiration for lighting different spaces in your home.

The foyer. 

Let’s start at the beginning… where you welcome your guests.   Your foyer doesn’t have to be expansive in order to host an eye-catching light fixture.

Your living spaces. 

Family and living rooms don’t have to be lamps and recessed lighting alone!  Capture an element of surprise by adding a statement fixture to a reading nook or center stage.

The kitchen. 

Today’s kitchens with islands and breakfast nooks offer ample opportunity to showcase an amazing light fixture.  Hardworking spaces don’t need to skimp on style!

Dining room spaces. 

Big or small, a bold light fixture will make this space extra special.  Go for an unusual shape or finish for big impact.
