Every homeowner has some form of lighting in their space – but many aren’t intentionally styling those lighting pieces. At Reid’s Fine Furnishings, we believe that lamps should be illuminated art. Lighting is capable of adding interest and ambience to your home, while also complimenting the design and function of each room. Here are 3 ways that home lighting can enhance your space:
Sculptural lamps can add texture and variety to your space.
Sculptural lamps have uniquely shaped bases and are made of interesting materials like textured ceramics, reflective glass, or finely shaped metals. Sculptural lighting is a fantastic way to introduce a unique artistic element that stands out from your furniture and upholstery. Consider a glittering glass lamp for a formal sitting room, or a modern, burnished metal lamp for that man-cave in the basement.
Use light fixtures to blend different design styles.
Few homes are solely furnished in one design methodology. In our experience, most people have some kind of transitional style (blending traditional with modern) or a unique combination of interior design influences. Your lighting elements are a great way to seamlessly blend styles without it feeling forced or disjointed. For example, a traditionally tufted leather chair and ottoman can be lifted into a more modern setting when paired with an industrial metal reading lamp. Lighting isn’t simply practical – it is a part of your interior design!
Lamps add interest to dull corners and purpose to awkward spaces.
Every home has an awkward space or two. Adding an interesting floor lamp or a stained glass night light on a small accent table can help liven those drab corners of your home. Plus, you can play around with different shade shapes and textures to perfectly compliment the space – no matter how odd or narrow.
At Reid’s Fine Furnishings, our showroom offers an array of stylish home lighting in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. Plus, our knowledgeable team can help you find the right lighting for your personal needs. Visit us today and find the perfect illuminated art for your home!
