When choosing the best lighting for a room, consider both the way you’ll be using the space as well as the best lighting fixture size. Try to balance bringing enough light into the space without overwhelming it while also avoiding dim corners.
For example, a statement chandelier may be enough to fully illuminate the dining room or foyer, but may not provide enough light in a spacious great room. Dainty wall sconces or flush-mount ceiling lights light up a hallway without cluttering this tight space.
Next, choose a design you love—or request a custom fixture. Lighting not only brightens a room, it adds to the overall design you’re creating in the space. The handcrafted lighting fixtures available from sellers on Etsy blend both function and form. Many of these lighting options can be customized, too. If you’re searching for a certain mounting style, for example, many sellers can adapt their light fixtures to work in your space. That’s the beauty of working directly with independent makers!
