Every once in a while, many look around their personal surroundings and make the decision that the ambience could use a little updating! It doesn’t have to be major and more importantly, it doesn’t have to break the bank.
As every design professional knows, a favored quick fix that also offers a MAJOR aesthetic payoff is to update the lighting in the space. Lighting is the jewelry of every home. Just as you would with an outfit, make a few accessory changes and VOILA! You have a whole new look!
Want some lighting inspiration? Keep reading, and we will share our Top 5 Favorite Light Fixtures with you!
1. Arteriors’ Aramis Sconce, designed by Barry Dixon.
Dubbed as, “Couture for the Home”, this show-stopper was inspired by the styling created for one of Alexander McQueen’s fashion shows. The progressive impression left by these sconces is nothing short of avant-garde – are they elegant? YES! ….and perhaps somewhat macabre in some way? They have that fascinating je nais se quois, and it is exactly that mysterious allure that draws us in!

2. Arteriors’ Waverly Pendant
This is pendant perfection for those of us who are style icons that don’t take themselves too seriously! The whimsy this fixture brings is nothing short of spectacular. Reminiscent of a Hollywood starlet’s floppy sun hat bouncing in sync along an Amalfi zephyr, the glamour is found in the casual simplicity of the piece.

3. The Cabaret Fringe Chandelier by Regina Andrew
Whether the look you’re after is, “kicking up your heels” or “hosting a formal dinner”, this pendant hits the mark. It offers playful sophistication that spans whatever mood you may need to set. Garbed in the most saturated of tones, this beauty is sure to turn heads.
4. Holly Hunt – Lyra Pendant
We are enthralled with the multiple juxtapositions in this single piece! It can easily capture and hold one’s gaze due to the faceted dimension, the varying shapes, the complex lucidity, the playful magnification. It’s the perfect intersection of lighting and sculpture. Holly Hunt does it again!….and we continue to be forever fans.

5. Articolo Lighting – Loopi Wall Sconce
Touted as the romantic interpretation of linking fingers, this wall sconce not only provides an inviting glow but doubles as a bauble, sculptural enough to stand alone – no additional accessorizing necessary. We could see these flanking both sides of a powder room mirror for a spectacular impact.
