WHAT DO I NEED TO CHECK BEFORE BUYING LIGHTING FROM ANTHROPOLOGIE?
Livingetc knows design.
Proper lighting is essential for every space as it can be used to add depth, accentuate focal points, and create a cozy ambiance. Anthropologie Home Stylist Anne White goes so far as to describe light as a form of art.
While there are some general guidelines, such as hanging pendants and chandeliers about 30 to 36 inches above the center of your dining table, there are few strict, universally applicable rules for lighting your space. However, as a general rule of thumb, a room's lighting should complement its architectural elements, especially in a living room, where a home’s most striking features are often found.
To determine the most suitable lighting for your specific space, take a good look at the area in question. Consider whether adding a hanging light would introduce tasteful drama to the space or potentially obstruct sightlines. Similarly, evaluate the placement of lamps, like the one on your bedside table — should it be closer to or farther from your bed for practical use? These considerations will vary depending on individual preferences and the unique characteristics of your space.
And one more tip from us, if you're planning on installing a light on a dimmer switch, check first whether the piece you're choosing is compatible. While it may still work, an incompatible light (or lightbulb) can cause flickering, clicking noises and even damage to your home's circuits.
If you ever find yourself uncertain about how to illuminate your space effectively, don't hesitate to seek guidance from a lighting expert. Keep in mind that lighting offers ample opportunities for personalization. Ultimately, your space is yours to customize according to your preferences, so have fun with it and create an atmosphere that reflects your unique style and needs.
