How to get the lighting just right from day to night.

How to get the lighting just right from day to night.

Lighting can make or break the ambiance of your home. The key is layering: combine overhead, task, and accent lighting for a versatile, warm atmosphere. We suggest dimmable overhead lights paired with wall sconces or table lamps for depth. Floor lamps with sculptural designs, can also serve as a design element and anchoring pieces.

Choose bulbs wisely—soft white LEDs mimic natural light and feel welcoming without being harsh. We recommend using warm-toned bulbs for living spaces and cooler tones for task areas like the kitchen or office. Want to add a touch of personality? Incorporate unique lighting fixtures, like pendants with a matte black or brass finish, to tie the room together. With the right mix, your space will feel polished, functional, and inviting.
