Lighting

Lighting is the most underestimated design element in most homes, and the one that most dramatically changes how a room feels when you get it right. Our lighting guides cover how to layer ambient, task, and accent light in every room; pendant and chandelier selection for dining rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms; the best floor and table lamp picks by aesthetic; and how to use warm-toned bulbs, dimmers, and plug-in fixtures to transform a room without hardwiring anything.
