"There is one fundamental fact about lighting: Where there is no light, there is no beauty." -Billy Baldwin, Ruby Ross Wood
Just like design styles you use when designing a room, lighting has certain styles too. It's important to make sure that the lighting used, matches the style used throughout the space. This blog is all about the different styles of lighting and what to look for in each style. All the information below can be found at www.kichler.com.ARTS AND CRAFTS / MISSION / PRAIRIE
"Look for rectilinear shapes, thick, solid material sections and flat, stylized design elements. If wood is used, it will typically be oak."
CONTEMPORARY / MODERN
"Look for the complete absence of ornamentation, clean, uncluttered lines, single tone finishes without texture and an overall light feel in the construction."
LODGE / COUNTRY
"Look for rough-hewn wood, natural metals with forge-like features and heavily textured surfaces. Elements of wild game may also be found."
TIFFANY / ART GLASS
"Look for colorful pieces of glass, set in geometric or organic patterns and wrapped in onyx-colored beading. The accompanying lamp base or lamp (bulb) holding devices are usually rich, deep bronze finishes. Many of the contemporary pieces are finished in brushed nickel."
TRADITIONAL
"Look for elegance, gentle curves, and straight lines all wrapped in restrained ornamentation with simple finishing."
TRANSITIONAL
"Look for bronze or earth tone finishes, warm glass accents or diffusers and traditional lines without heavy ornamentation."
UTILITY
"Look for familiar shapes, no ornamentation, unencumbered light output."
