A common mistake is over lighting a room with overheads that are too bright. The key is to use floor and table lamps and keep overheads on dimmers. Lamps will add depth and proportion to a room, in addition to being functional. The size and style of lamps are crucial to the room’s overall look.

Overhead or ceiling mount lighting should be used in rooms where you need maximum lighting, such as dining rooms for entertaining guests, or a kitchen where you need to prepare meals and allow the kids to do their homework.  Chandeliers make a fantastic statement in any room, especially if you have high ceilings.  Play with proportion, going a little overscaled when you can.

Look at the options when you visit our North Carolina furniture outlets and showrooms for the perfect fixtures or lamps.  You’ll find a multitude of finishes and styles to suit any type of décor.
