illuminating
accents
T HE LIGHTING IN your home sets the
tone for each space, so why not freshen
up your fixtures? From table lamps to
accent lights, there are unique and finely crafted
pieces that will enhance the look of your home.
Here are a few stylish trends from which to
draw some inspiration for your interior design
scheme.
While Southwest Florida homeowners have
fallen in love with soft colors like grey and seainspired
blues, another way to incorporate a
peaceful palette into your home is by using
metal, especially a subdued gold or brass finish.
These colors work so well with design styles from
traditional to contemporary, so there is sure to be
the perfect light fixture for your home. These tones
complement the greys and blues, so if you’re home
is filled with cool colors, this is a great way to add
a little warmth and shine. Easy-to-install lighting
like a reading lamp, small shelf globe, or floor
lamp are ideal for quickly updating a space.
If you like a touch of old-fashioned charm,
vintage Edison-style bulbs are the perfect retro
element. The nostalgic design of these bulbs
with their rounded cone shape makes a homey
statement and are perfect for areas such as your
living room or kitchen. While there are still
incandescent bulbs available, LED Edison bulbs
last longer and consume less energy. These
vintage-inspired bulbs bring warmth and visual
interest to many design styles but look most
natural when paired with industrial elements.
For maximum effect, use multiple lights rather
than single bulbs.
Wooden lighting elements are a popular and
work well in Southwest Florida. While 2018 was
filled whitewashed, farmhouse inspiration, 2019
has seen a resurgence of wood that is rich, grainy,
and true to its natural color. For people who
like a more modern aesthetic, ribbons of wood
veneer can be molded into fluid, visually pleasing
shapes for pendant lights, sconces or chandeliers.
Here are a few of our current favorite lighting
fixtures—there is something for everyone!
