Sadly, lighting is all too often left for a quick dash around Ikea on a busy Saturday afternoon. Whilst Ikea can offer affordable options to light a room, it is perhaps a purchase overshadowed by the rush for a bag of 50 tea lights or that must-have potted cactus. Over at Bright.Bazaar we believe that lighting is one of the most important additions to our homes. A great way to add colour and depth to a space; good lighting really can change how a room feels. We've been on a search to find some inspirational room sets, which use lighting to tell the story in each space.
An antique chandelier adds a sense of grandeur and formality to a room - perfect for hanging above a dining table. If you prefer a more modern and quirky version, then check out these chandeliers by Squint, which you may remember appearing on the site a few months back - we're still loving them!
The task lighting in this small corner makes the space instantly recognisable as a work area. For more home office inspiration, check out our regular feature, Office Inspiration.

As it's the last month of summer, why not make the most of the light evenings and turn your garden into a romantic hideaway. Perhaps those tea lights were quite important after all...!

I do like using little tea lights in the yard during the summer. I have some mason jars that I like to put them in. I agree with you on the lighting front - you can have a beautifully decorated room, but the lighting can just kill the whole thing if it's not given some thought.
ReplyDelete@Sew Recycled It's a fab idea isn't it! I find the idea of alfresco dining by candle light so romantic - let's hope our UK weather sorts itself out!
ReplyDelete@Kathy I know! I've been to so many houses where they have been decorated so well, but the lighting had been forgotten - such a shame.
Yes, I like the way a chandelier says 'this space (and in this case the activity of formal dining) is important to me' - it gives grandeur and emphasis, even if it is a quirky one.
ReplyDelete@Mise Couldn't agree more. I think chandelier's are a great way to make a bold statement in any room, especially a dining room
