mix & MATCH


Today's styles are uniquely eclectic and you should feel comfortable mixing and matching. Chandeliers lend themselves perfectly to this process. You can look for a chandelier that is inspired by the period reflected in the room you are putting it, but you don't have to. Many contemporary designs are a blend of traditional elements with modern materials which makes them work with a variety of decors. Still, when you are mixing styles it helps to stay consistent with your finish selections, which will support a cohesive look without standing in the way of your creativity.

Bathroom Lighting

BATHED IN the right LIGHT

Of course bathroom lighting needs to be functional, but that doesn't mean it also can't be beautiful.  It's a misconception from years past that bathrooms must be brightly lit. Bathrooms do require a certain amount of practical light to support practical activities that are performed in the bathroom, such as styling your hair or applying makeup. However, layers of light can be most effective in the bathroom because it can provide the ability to control the lighting depending on the task at hand.

TASK LIGHTING

The best vanity lighting utilizes cross illumination, which provides shadow-free lighting. In other words, you need a lighting solution over the vanity, as well as on both sides of the vanity, which lights the face evenly, and achieves the “cross-illumination” effect.

AMBIENT LIGHTING

Ambient lighting is typically provided by ceiling fixtures, and is especially important in the bath because of varied mixtures of materials and finishes, many of them shiny surfaces like wall tile, floor tile and chrome faucets.

Simply Sconces

Sconces can easily provide general, task, or accent lighting. Many sconces are designed to match and compliment our chandelier and foyer families. Sconce lighting can be used in all areas of the home, and are often used as accent lighting above a mantle or fireplace, above a buffet in the dining area, or lining a stairway or hall.
 
TIP: When hanging a sconce, remember in most cases it should be hung at least 60" from the floor. When hanging two sconces on either side of a mirror or other focal point, space the sconces appropriately according to other decorative elements.
