I’m hearing from lots of you that you are using outdoor lanterns & light fixtures in your interior spaces because these fixtures are less expensive & bigger. Some folks are brightening their kitchen islands with one lrg or several smaller exterior lanterns. A friend of mine who has long, narrow hallways & high ceilings in her home has illuminated them with boxed lanterns. You can also find beautiful chandeliers & lamps at antique stores or flea markets. Simply have them rewired for a treasure.

Lots of our customers at Nell Hill’s want hefty, dramatic fixtures to hang over their kitchen islands or in their entries because these large-scaled pieces bring with them a lot of drama. When I moved into my home, I loved the chandelier that was hanging in my dining room, but the scale was too small for me. So when I finally found a chandelier that was just right, I moved the existing dining room fixture to my den & moved the den chandelier upstairs.

I love a bargain and always look for home furnishing that look more expensive than they really are. But these days, those are hard to find when it comes to lighting. At market I’ve noticed that the lights that are a bargain usually look cheap and low quality. So my advice is, don’t skimp when it comes to lighting — spend the extra money and get a lamp or chandelier that will add to the style of your home, not detract from it.

Lamps are an investment, so you’ll want to treat them well so they will last for years. Make sure your lamp is fit with the right sized halo and shade. If you’re not sure, take it to a lighting store and ask the pros. Check your lamp shades periodically to make sure they are holding up. If they are faded, dingy or out of style, replace them. (I’ve found that when you use higher wattage bulbs in your lamps, the shades need to be replaced more often.)

I love rooms that look like they have evolved over time. And one way to achieve this look is to use a dissimilar assortment of lamps in the space. Try bringing in lamps made from a variety of mediums, like metal, porcelain, glass and wood. Experiment with a mix of colors, shapes and sizes, too.

Lighting: While small, delicate lamps are occasionally the right choice if you have a tiny table or small space, most often, a bigger lamp will look better on a standard sized table. The key to picking the right-sized lamp is to study the size and scale of the table on which it will sit, the size of the furnishings that surround it and the other accents that will be on the table. Then, opt for the largest lamp that will work in the setting. Serene Bedroom, Beautiful Bedrooms, Home Bedroom, Beautiful Decor, Master Bedroom, Lovely, Bed Drapes, Ladies Writing Desk

To help your functional lights do their jobs, fit them with light colored shades. While I love, love, love black shades, they restrict the light output of a lamp. So if you’re picking a lamp for your office desk, in the main conversation area in your family room or by your bedside where you read, go with a light shade.

Lighting: Allow Them to Warm up a Seating Arrangement:       If you want a small seating arrangement to look inviting, add an accent light. Place one on the table in your breakfast nook to pull the grouping together and make it look finished. Try the same idea next to a chair in your entry or your bedroom.

Welcome Lights: Accent lights make wonderful welcoming nightlights. When Dan and I are done cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, we turn off the overhead lights but leave a small accent light burning on the counter so when we pop back in to answer the phone or grab a glass of water, we are greeted in the darkness by a soft, warm glow. I also like to turn on an accent light in the main floor powder room when I entertain so guests can find their way.

Treat Them Like Art: Since your accent lights won’t be providing the main source of lighting in a room, you can focus simply on how they look, not how they perform. That means the sky is the limit! Since I like to work accent lights into existing displays, I often opt for lamps that look like artwork themselves. Check out the lamp in the photo above, which resembles a worn & weathered garden statue.  Bringing together 2 of my favorite gardening tools; garden statues & accent lighting.

Lanai Chair: The original came from Martinique, found on the veranda of a sugar cane plantation. Many a spiced rum was sipped from the comforts of its padded cane seat. Solid teak, at once secure & graceful, was exactly right for the climate. Our Lanai Lazy Chair, like the elegant original, is made from solid, renewable teak. The structural integrity & unequaled durability of this chair set it apart from the lesser imitations we see today.
