Choosing the right lighting fixtures for a hallway can be particularly challenging. Unlike most rooms, hallways usually don't benefit from any natural lighting, and often there isn't enough space to simply set down a lamp. That means any lighting in a hallway needs to be built in, but finding fixtures that fit the narrow width of the space and height of the ceilings can be its own challenge. Today...
Almost everyone has some kind of lamp sitting on their night stand. It's a bare-bones, basic kind of bedside lighting that gets the job done, and usually isn't too expensive to set up. But while table lamps are the go-to for getting a little light next to your bed, they're far from the only option out there. If you want to get creative with your bedroom
Get The Look: Making A Small Guest Bathroom Breathtaking
Decorating a very small bathroom can be an exercise in frustration. There's rarely room for anything but the basics, and it's easy to expend all your creative energy just trying to find a place for all the necessary parts. That combined with a lack of natural light means that small bathrooms are a somewhat grim canvas for a remodel. But small bathrooms don't have to be boring, drab, or dark - you ...
Any real estate agent or contractor will tell you: if you can manage to sneak built-in lighting into any (and every!) room in your home, you should. Being able to flip a switch and get all-over, over-head lighting gives any space an immediate visual appeal that can easily translate into a fast sale or even a slightly higher value on your home. But installing permanent lighting fixtures isn't alway...

kitchens. Now, while we can all agree on going back to the past is a bad idea overall, there are some good aesthetic pointers that still look good after a few decades. Here are five ways to bring...
The layout of this bathroom by Shanade McAllister-Fisher is a designer's nightmare: it's small, cramped, narrow, and without a single window to help brighten up the space. It's literally too small to be photographed from inside the room. And yet, the smart use of contrast and light not only saves this small bathroom from feeling cramped and crowded, it actually gives it a really nice desi...
It's the time of year where nature motivates you to stay inside and curl up with a good book or twenty until the ground stops being coated in ice. This is where a good reading nook comes in, a secluded space all your own that is comfy, filled with books on your to-read list, and well lit enough to see the words but not so bright that you get a fluorescent lighting headache. Here are some options f...
I love light - natural and artificial, bright light, low light, mood light, accent light - whatever. In fact, the only thing I like better than a well lit room is one that's lit well with lighting fixtures that look good, too. With a trend toward built in (especially recessed) lighting, living spaces are getting more and better lighting (which is a good thing), but the fixtures that provide that...
Lighting is rarely a top priority when designing a home office. After all, there's a long list of expenses and considerations that have to come first, from furniture to electronics to simple connectivity. But good lighting is one of the few ways that you can make a home office feel more like home than the office. Instead of flat, generic overhead lights (like recessed lighting or, worse, the fl...
