9 Choosing the perfect light for your space is as important as choosing the right jewelry for your outfit. Lighting is no longer just for functional purposes, it's now that pop of sparkle in your entry way, or the industrial piece of art above your dining room table. Think outside the box and take a chance on choosing something spectacular. The champagne bubbles from Sonneman will not only wow you, but it will also give your friends some serious light envy. Lighting is becoming more deconstructed with the use of Edison bulbs, visible wiring, and raw materials like driftwood. Polished chrome, wood and gold/bronze tones are still on the fast track of lighting trends. Each light finish in your home does not need to match. Live on the edge and mix your metals. Choose two to three focal lights; supplemental lighting should be there to help showcase them. Just remember: too many statement lights can be overpowering.
