Lights....Camera...Action!

I am starting to develop an interest in lighting fixtures. For many years now I have dreamed of owning a Chandelier one day... whether it will hang in my room or my walk in closet (which I have yet to own), I don't know, but I DO know I must have one =]. Light fixtures have one purpose... to provide light! But who knew that you can turn them into an eye catching, awe-inspiring, work of art!


Here is a collection of my top 5 favs right now:







As you can see, all these fixtures are by Tom Dixon. He is a genius!! He takes a new approach to light fixtures. He turns them into an architectural element. Props to you, Tom!

I must admit though, not all the light fixtures are practical. One source of light may not be able to fill a whole room with the vibrant light you hope for, but that is where light sconces come into play. you can put them in key spots where the most light will be needed, such as by a lounging chair or a desk or doorway. Also, table lamps work too as long as they play along the structural design of your main fixture.

Enjoy and let the light shine into your lives!
