One of my visits to check out all of the incredible options at Lamps Plus!
If you’ve been following along, you know the house is a 1860-square-foot Spanish style house built in 1931. My goal with the interior design is to honor the original style while adding a fresh update.
In thinking about the lighting scheme of the whole house, I started with the vibe in the kitchen, living room, and dining room. I went for lighting options with discreet silhouettes and delicate lines in the living spaces and in the kitchen and bathrooms I wanted to go with some classic shapes. The house will be a bright white, which you know I LOVE!
This is a picture of the living room after the primer has gone up. I am painting the beams white to freshen up the space and to make the visual effect of higher ceilings so that the lights do not overwhelm the room.
This shot is peeking into the kitchen so you know what we’re working with. Much to be done, clearly!
I got inspiration for the living room from examples like this one (above) by Kelly Nutt. I will have two large big metal classic chandeliers hanging in the COCOCOZY Design House.
Living Room: Sutton 44″ Wide Textured Black 12-Light Chandelier
Living Room: Juliette 17″ High Country Iron Wall Sconce
Living Room: Sonneman Intermezzo 7″ High Rubbed Bronze Sconce
In the kitchen I am going with a modern schoolhouse vibe on the ceiling with some lights manufactured by Lamps Plus.
My faucet is chrome in the kitchen so I’m keeping with silver metal and clear glass for those fixtures. I picked out two hanging schoolhouse style lights to frame the stove and then several matching semi-flush mounts for the rest of the kitchen. Then, lastly, I picked some black wall lights for the sink wall that will hang over the two windows above the sink.
Kitchen Wall Lights Over Sink Windows: Wray Bronze Metal Hardwire Swing Arm Wall Lamp
For the master bedroom and bathroom, I am going with brass. I picked a really delicate brass wire piece for the center of the master suite and then brass lighting for inside the master bath. I think the master should feel a little more special than most!
Master Bedroom: Arteriors Home Mara 23 1/2″ Wide Polished Brass Pendant
Master Bedroom Wall Lamps Next To Bed: Wray Black and Antique Brass Plug-In Wall Lamp Set of 2
Master Bedroom: Robert Abbey Alloy Warm Brass Plug-In Swing Arm Wall Lamp
Master Bathroom Ceiling Lights (2x): Charleston Brass 13 1/2″ Wide Clear Glass LED Ceiling Light
Master Bathroom Lights Over Mirror Wall: Large Cone 11″H Brushed Brass 2-Light Adjustable Wall Sconce
So many decisions, so little time! I will share more lighting as we get closer to the install.
Stay tuned!
