Mood Lighting: Unique Fixtures That Will Make Your Custom Home Shine
Lighting fixtures make a space stand out and add a level of customization that makes a home feel warm, welcoming, and one-of-a-kind. There are various options to choose from, including show-piece chandeliers, pendant lights, recessed lighting, and more. But which fixtures are best for your custom Lowcountry home? Here are five unique lighting fixtures that are sure to make your home shine!
Big Bold Chandeliers
Chandeliers provide a layer of class and elegance often associated with their appearance. Many chandeliers will have intricate, dazzling designs that bring life to a room, even when the lights are off!
Other benefits to chandeliers are that they can help save floor and wall space, provide ample lighting, and come in various styles. Some types of chandeliers include:
Contemporary
Crystal
Drum
Mini
Modern
Sputnik
Waterfall
There are even hybrid chandeliers that can blend your favorite designs together!
Geometric Pendant Lights
Pendant lights, also known as drop lights or suspenders, are excellent fixture options if you want to add a more subtle stylistic element to a space. Geometric or abstract pendant lights in particular offer a modern design and have become more popular in newer homes.
However, there are plenty of other styles of pendant lights to choose from, including:
Bowl Pendant
Drum Pendant
Exposed Bulb Pendant
Globe Pendant
Mini Pendant
Multiple Pendant
Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting is even more subtle, but one benefit is that it allows you to dim your lights or create an atmosphere. Because recessed lighting is often hidden from view, it can also make a room appear larger due to there being more “visual” space.
Another advantage of recessed lighting is that it can highlight specific areas of a space or be used for other design purposes as they come in various colors.
Under-Cabinet Lighting
Something that has become very popular in recent years with new construction homes is under-cabinet lighting. It can add the perfect finishing touch to your kitchen space with the bonus of being an upscale feature that not all homes have.
Under-cabinet lighting also ensures that you’ll always have a full view of your countertop—no more casted shadows while you’re cutting up vegetables!
Landscape Lighting
Adding solar or wired lights along the walkway of your home can make it easier to see where you’re walking at night as well as enhance your curb appeal. Other outdoor lighting options, such as garden or porch lights, can also increase your home’s security and highlight the features of the exterior you love most.
