SCONCE Savvy

Often overlooked as a design element, sconces can act as a complement to a chandelier and encourage a layered effect, making the lighting and overall design of the room both appealing and functional. With the ability to direct light into the room at face level, wall sconces are perfect for balancing the amount of light in your space. It is a common misconception that sconces need to “match” the central lighting fixture in the room. They can equally complement such statement pieces by simply staying within the same finish family but choosing a varying style.

A Quick Guide to SIZING & HANGING YOUR CHANDELIER

Chandeliers are designed to float in a room as an important part of the decor. Too large and this fixture will overpower the space. Too small and it will look out of place. Placing a chandelier that is too small in a space is likely the biggest mistake. Great designers, therefore, tend to make their decisions on fixtures that may appear slightly larger than might be appropriate. It's generally always best to make the mistake on a fixture being too big than too small.

 To make sure your chandelier is the right size for the room in which it will hang, consider the following:

1. How high is your ceiling?  Taller ceilings demand larger fixtures.
2. What is the size and shape of your table? Island? The chandelier should complement, not overpower, anything you plan to suspend it over.
3. How big is the room you are trying to illuminate? Again, be sure the chandelier is not too big or too small for the room.
4. What is the form and design of the chandelier? Light, airy fixtures tend to look smaller.
   
   

MEASUREMENT Guidelines


To size a chandelier for your dining room, or to be the focal point of your space, measure the length and width of the room and add those figures together. The sum, converted to inches, will equal the diameter that you can use as a guideline when selecting the size of your chandelier.
 

If the resulting measurement (room length + width, converted to inches) seems inappropriate due to the size of your table, size your chandelier three quarters the width of your table.


In most cases, the bottom of your chandelier should sit approximately 30"–32" above the table top.


Sizing a Chandelier FOR YOUR FOYER

When determining whether to hang a flush, semi-flush, or multi-tiered chandelier in your foyer, be advised that the bottom of the fixture should be at least 7' from the floor.



For two-story foyers, if there is a window above the front door, center the chandelier so it can be seen from outside.

If your foyer is extra-large, you may also want to add sconces. Sconces should be installed 60" from the floor and 6'–8' apart.

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.

RIGHT LIGHT: Turn Down the Light and Warm Up the Room

All it takes is a few small upgrades and improvements in lighting to make a huge impact on the warmth and inviting feel of your home. During the cold, dark days of winter, the right lighting is especially important. Using a dimmer will help create the perfect ambience for indoor activities.


In a room where a central lighting fixture dominates the space, dimming allows that fixture to provide a more subtle and comfortable light, and lets other fixtures provide appropriate contrast. The addition of one or two portable light fixtures will help set the perfect stage, especially if they are connected to a table-top dimmer, which can be found at our showroom.

Choosing the right lamp for your Living Room

How to choose the right lamp for your

Living Room

Think of living-room lamps as one part light and one part sculpture. They should be lovely to look at whether on or off. Just make sure they don't block the view or get in the way of conversation.


Height: Most living rooms can handle a lamp that's 26 to 34 inches tall. "But you don't want to be looking up into the hardware," says Jamie Young, a Los Angeles lighting designer. To see if your lamp is right for a given table, sit on the sofa or the chair next to it, she says. "The bottom of the shade shouldn't fall higher than eye level."

Base: Even a skinny, candlestick-style base should be substantially weighted so those who talk with their hands don't rock the lamp if they bump it accidentally.

Positioning: Rooms should have a light source every 10 feet or so. If a lamp is on a table between a sofa and a chair, "consider a thin or transparent base," says Steven Sclaroff, an interior designer in New York, "so sight lines―and conversation―flow freely."

Shade: A fabric or semiopaque paper shade gives a warm, flattering glow. Near a TV, an opaque shade of any material can minimize glare. In general, drum shades look more modern; conical ones, more traditional. A shade should never extend past a table's perimeter.

Bulb: If you intend to use your lamp for reading, make sure the bulb is at least 60 watts; a three-way bulb or a dimmer will modulate the brightness.

Style: A living room is a great place for a lamp made from a favorite object, such as a vase. Most lighting-repair stores can help with the wiring.
