The first part of the search is to consider what room you're placing the lighting in and what it needs to accomplish. Are you looking for a piece that adds ambient lighting, or do you need task oriented lighting, or some combination of the two? Do you need a table lamp to simply add atmosphere, or are you sitting there reading a book? Perhaps you need a 3-way switch that allows for a low amount of light as well as strong light when needed. Once you’ve determined the setting for your new light, you can now hop into the fun part of choosing the design style of your lighting fixture.


Table lamps and floor lamps and chandeliers OH MY! There’s no shortage of fabulous options from which to choose. Whether your home's interior design style leans more towards sleek and modern or vintage eclectic, lighting fixtures are a decor statement all on their own. Painted ceramic lamps are always a classic and can be more on the simplistic side or more ornate if you're someone who loves details. Sculptural and textured lamps are also a stunning option because they can bring so much interest to a tabletop display. From colorful, hand-painted bases to all kinds of shapes for your lamp shade, your perfect piece can be found and styled to your liking.

Always check the recommended wattage for your light by observing the light bulb socket on the fixture. The higher the wattage, the brighter the light, and the lower the wattage, the dimmer the light. If you’re someone who likes to have options, consider ceiling lighting and getting a dimmer installed. For your everyday lighting solutions, we recommend soft white light that leans in the yellowish range. This light is soft, yet practical and is used on a regular basis in your home. Light brings warmth and is usually the feature that helps welcome guests into your home. It’s a practical and decorative fixture that sets the mood for both your dinner parties and everyday routines.
