When we go for drives at night, I am always intrigued by the cozy ambience that the soft glow emitted from a lamp creates in the homes’ windows as we pass by.  Lamps are one member of a large family of light fixtures, including chandeliers, flush mount fixtures and a whole list of relatives.

Light fixtures are more than a means to see at night… they are themselves, a functional piece of art.  Think of the light fixtures in your home as accessories that compliment and complete the design of the room.  They should serve a purpose, sure, but they should also be beautiful, unique and keeping in the “look” of your home’s overall design.

This floor lamp has a clean, transitional style with a tailored drum shade.  It’s neutral color makes it appealing for almost any decor and it’s size and scale make it a smart choice to anchor a reading chair and end table grouping.

This fabulous contemporary chandelier makes a bold design statement!  The metal’s warm finish and linear lines give the fixture a modern flair without being cold or stark.  The shade’s unique shape adds to the appeal of the fixture.

This gorgeous custom designed entry fixture features colored glass and metal detailing.  This piece is truly a piece of art, and serves as the “wow factor” in this great room!

A lamp with an unusual shade makes a great statement.  This lamp is as much an artistic accessory as it is a functional light fixture.

This dining room features a pair of sconces flanking the arched alcove and a contemporary chandelier over the table.  The combination produces an unexpected yet pleasing symmetrical style.

Lighting is a little thing that makes a big difference.  The designers at Interiors Joan and Associates can help you find the perfect fixture to complete any space in your home or office!
