Light fixtures

Unique Light Fixtures

Sconces, chandeliers, and pendants are three great ways to add a nice amount of light, while also giving the room a feeling unique charm and warmth. Each of these options are amenable to your personal style, be it a classic look, a contemporary feel, or anything in between. As with any kind of installed lighting, it is important to make sure that the electrical work in your room is ready for the new fixtures to be installed. If you have electrical knowledge, then get to work, but if you do not, consult the advice or assistance of a professional electrician.

Chandeliers

Always an option for a beautiful centerpiece in any room, chandeliers provide fantastic lighting for large areas. For many people, finding the right chandelier is as simple as picking a design style to match the room. Remember the old crystal chandelier? Not anymore, today your chandelier options are almost limitless. Choose from wrought iron, hand forged, brushed nickel, wall floating, lantern-style, and much more. Your choices don’t end there; in many cases you can also choose your lantern color or bulb cover color/style. Some even come with matching sconce sets, providing your room with a sense of cohesiveness. Since modern lighting has become more energy efficient, these are great ways to light up a room for less. Install a dimmer so that you can adjust the light levels as needed.

Pendant Lighting

Similar to chandeliers, pendants are suspended from the ceiling. Used singly or with other units, these can provide both localized and room-filling lighting. Hang one pendant above a breakfast nook for a great warm feeling for the small space or put multiples above a preparation counter. Pendants come in many different materials and styles. Choose from all metal units to those with cloth shades, this style of lighting is one of the most versatile. Whether you’re looking for a rustic look or a sleek modern feel, pendants provide function and form at a great price.
