While researching decorative lighting for the 18th Street project I thought I would start with the largest fixtures. Chandeliers. There is a large open stairway that features a stone veneered wall that can accommodate a tall and wide chandelier. Because the stone is a natural element and we’re going for a warmer contemporary home I don’t want a light fixture that is really sparkly, super reflective, or cold. I came across these from Fine Art Lamps that seem to work. They are warm in color and contemporary in shape without being so slick and shiny. It’s an open floor plan, so the fixtures will have to answer to each other whether it be in shape, color, or both.
Just about every lighting manufacturer has a good selection of contemporary bathroom lighting. I especially like Forecast’s and Hudson Valley’s wide range of styles and finishes.
There is no shortage of companies that make pendants. There are three locations where pendants are being used. The Kitchen, the bar, and in the Master Bedroom. These are just a few of the “millions” of choices to narrow down. I’m attracted to pendants that have warmth and texture. The pendants shown here are just a tiny slice of what’s out there. There are many, many colors, materials, and textures to choose from. These little lights are like pieces of jewelry and will definitely be eye-catching over the kitchen island or the a bar!
