Celebrating Home

With the events of the past two years, it’s more evident than ever how much homes have evolved, becoming more central than ever to our daily lives. Once a place that was solely dedicated to the domestic rituals of life—eating, sleeping, spending time with family, etc.—our homes now serve as offices, learning centers, and gyms, among other things. Homeowners and builders have found innovative ways to customize homes to fit this new definition of what a home is and how it can serve us.

Our catalog features ways to illuminate every room in the house with ambient, task, or accent lighting options that make the space fully personalized, engaging, and inspiring. Whether you are working or working out, we know the right lighting scheme to optimize your mood.

When it comes to lighting a space with an open concept, it is important to consider what fixtures will be visible from any angle of the space. It is likely that most of the fixtures will be visible to you and your guests, so it’s important to determine what style you are going for and that all of the pieces complement each other. With walls separating a space, you can benefit from giving a room its own unique design, but an open concept layout relies much more on cohesiveness.

Instead of a one-dimensional look and feel, the lighting in this open concept living and kitchen space features a mix of hanging pendant lights, recessed can lights, and an oversized ceiling fan. This layering effect brings visual interest to the space – by placing lighting exactly where it needs to be, you create dimension and a lasting effect.

Thoughtfully placed mini-pendant lights create a unique and cozy bedtime reading space. These pendants from Quoizel blend natural textured fibers with dark industrial hardware, and the nearby switches mean you won’t be jumping out of bed to turn off the lights. Proper bedroom lighting should allow you to focus on what matters most: getting a good night’s rest.

If your nightstands are getting a little out of hand with clutter, try bedside hanging lights or wall lamps and keep what is most important to you close by. If table lamps are more your style, try looking for fixtures with added features like USB ports to keep your space intentional.

To create a simple yet impactful bathroom for yourself and your guests, try mixing up your lighting with a variety of lighting applications in this space. Pendants, sconces, and toe kick lighting are all bold ways that unexpectedly light up the space in a delightful way. Stick with one to two finishes for a cohesive feel, and choose pieces that look proportional to your mirror.

Toe kick lighting is also a great addition to any bathroom. You don’t have to turn on all the lights when you get up in the middle of the night – toe kick lighting allows you to light just the space you need and get right back to sleep.

Have you considered dimmable lighting? The bathroom serves as a multi-use space, and when choosing your lighting, you will should consider the appropriate amount of light needed for your daily routine. From wanting bright lights for applying makeup to not-so-bright showers in the morning, dimmable lighting allows you the flexibility and options necessary for different times of the day.

Homeowners now prioritize fitness and health, which has led to a significant investment in home gyms. Lighting your gym correctly allows you to focus on your workout and impacts on how you feel during your workouts. Whether it’s a calm yoga session or an amped up cardio routine, you need to consider how you’ll use your space to find lighting solutions that meet your needs.

Recessed lighting in home gyms helps you focus on your workout. It allows for free movement without worrying about knocking over a fixture. While you engage your arms in a range of movements or your body in jumping, stretching, and squatting activities, recessed lights will help keep everything out of your way. They are also a great choice if you already have competing design elements in the room but need more light.

Creating a relaxing environment is important for yoga practitioners. You should consider installing a dimmer and a ceiling fan to create a calm and cooling atmosphere. With these lighting options, you can curate a space to get in your desired zone.

More people now have designated spots in their homes dedicated to their work. Choosing the right lighting in your home office can help you work both productively and comfortably. Try mimicking natural daylight so that your work monitor’s bright screen and harsh lighting don’t bother you even as you check those late-night emails.

The bronze ceiling light from Quorum pictured here comes in three additional finishes, paired with a distinguished clear globe. This piece hangs close to the ceiling and gives the room a stylish aesthetic.

Keeping as little on the top of your desk as possible is another way to create a productive, clutter-free workspace. Instead of traditional desk lamps, hang a pendant light or have a single showcase ceiling light, so your desk remains free to do your best work.

Illuminating your outdoor spaces not only enforces security and provides function, but it can also highlight and enhance the most beautiful parts of your home. Do you have unique architectural elements that deserve the spotlight? Do you entertain guests often and have a pathway to your entrance that needs lighting? Use questions like these to understand how your space functions in order to use the right fixtures. When considering your options, keep in mind that outdoor lighting allows you to play with shadows and depth.

Tiny outdoor spaces are getting the grandiose treatment. Homeowners are now finding small spaces in the backyard – sheds, garages, etc. – and completely transforming them. These spaces provide a much-needed separation from the main home – whether it’s to focus on work, relaxation, or special hobbies. These are not your typical “sheds” – these spaces are dripping in elegance and require special attention when choosing the lighting.

These homes outside of the home are built on passion and creativity. So, it is important to match that level of visual interest with unique lighting pieces. Play around with ceiling-mounted fixtures indoors, or try something even bolder. Chandeliers are a delightful, elegant, and unexpected surprise, while outdoor sconces give a welcoming, homely feel as you walk up to the door. If a chandelier feels too large, use hanging pendants that can provide the same effect in the smaller space. Don’t forget about pathway lighting leading from the main home, so you have easy, safe access at night!
