Livingroom Lighting
Nowadays living rooms are not reserved just for special occacions. The living space is frequently the social center of the home.
It is the place to curl up with a good book, watch tv, visit with friends or entertain formally.
Unlike the kitchen and bathroom, where the position of the light fixtures is pretty much determined by the built-in furniture and appliances, the living room needs a more flexible lighting plan.
Lifestyles change over time, and furniture gets moved around. That’s the reason portable lamps work so well in a living area.
It’s amazing how good lighting can change a space. And it doesn’t even have to be expensive. A few tricks make a huge difference in making the living room feel comfortable and inviting. I do so many home consultations where all I do is to haul a few floor and table lamps out from various nooks and crannies throughout the house and demonstrate how creating “pools of Light” creates atmosphere.

Bedroom Lighting
There are many factors to consider when choosing the lighting for this very personal space.
This is the area of our home where we are our true selves, where we savor our private time alone or with a loved one.
Not only intended for sleeping, the bedroom is usually the space you get dressed, choose your outfits, curl up with a good book and relax.
Choosing the right bedroom lighting plays a major role in how comfortable you feel, not to mention your ability to choose matching socks! More »
Bedroom, Bedroom Lighting, Reading Lamps
With a showroom with an eclectic mix of lighting fixtures as my source, I get to pick the lighting for my office, better yet, I get to redecorate as often as I want! (Daniel, my trusted electrician will attest to this with rolling eyes!)
I see my office as my lighting lab. Ok, that’s a good excuse and it sounds really professional, but the truth is that I LOVE good lighting fixtures and portable lamps, their looks, what they do for my room and my mood. I just can’t make up my mind and stick with one single desk lamp when there are so many great ones out there.
Talk about “pools of light”, “intimate focal points” – I have them! More »
