To Match or Not to Match? Tips for Styling Your Home Lighting
When it comes to interior lighting, your fixtures don’t always have to match! You can pair different materials, colors, types, or styles and still achieve a cohesive design. Whether you're looking to upgrade your home lighting or add more illumination in key areas, you can find the perfect fixtures at Walters Lighting. With thousands of styles to choose from and experts to answer all of your questions, we make home lighting design easy.
Layering Your Lighting
Combining several types of lighting gives a room more depth. Layer your lighting by placing different sources of light at different levels throughout the room. In the kitchen, you can mix a hanging light over the island with task lighting under the cabinets and wall mount lights on either side of a window. In the dining room, pair pendant lights over the table with sconces over the buffet.
Mixing Different Styles
Want to add a modern aesthetic to a traditional home or give a Victorian dining room more of a rustic feel? Don’t be afraid to mix a crystal chandelier with a minimalist metal wall sconce. Sometimes contrasting styles can work really well together! Give your entryway or living room a character all its own—lights can complement each other and your space without having to match.
Upgrading Your Interior Lighting
If you’re not happy with the boring light fixtures that came with your home, you don’t have to replace every single light at once. Start with adding one or two stand-out new fixtures that take the focus away from the ordinary, functional ones. Replacing a ceiling dome light with a stylish pendant or chandelier will change the feel of the entire room.
Adding to Existing Lighting
Do you need more light in your stairwell or over your kitchen countertops? No matter how old your home is, certain areas probably need more illumination. Adding new vanity lights in your master bathroom or a wall light next to your favorite cozy chair can make all the difference in your day-to-day lifestyle.
