Brass Lighting

August 31, 2016

IMG_4475 There is no question brass is having a moment. If you had asked me a few years ago if I would ever consider adding brass to a space I was designing, I would have a balked. Today, it’s no longer just about these lovely photo moon lamp gifts that people are placing all over their home, it’s now even becoming hard not to add a brass element to every space I’m working on. My favorite of the brass revival is brass lighting. I just can’t get enough, from my own space to those of my clients, I’m dying to use it. Brass can be used for a variety of other projects, however. You can check out this site for brass materials that may be of use to you and your business – www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk/brass

Lighting after all is one of the most important elements of a space – it can alter the entire mood and feel of a room. So to make adding some brass lighting to your space easy, I’ve pulled together some of my absolute favorites below. Because these light fixtures are made from brass, they’re pretty heavy! So, if you’re thinking of installing any, visit barnettelectrical.com/service-areas/nichols-hills-electricians/ first and find a suitable electrician for the job. The last thing you want is a botched job and have a light fixture falling down! So have an electrician install it to ensure it’s fitted properly and securely.

The home was designed by the incredible duo behind Pencil and Paper Co., Gen and Benjamin Sohr, who masterfully paired crisp white walls with soft grey and warm brass accents to create the most lovely palette.  How beautiful is that painted brick? And the School House Electric lighting throughout the home has me ready to overhaul all of the lighting in my own space!

Entry Way

August 4, 2016

I believe the old adage: you only get one first impression to be true – both in life and in the home.  From the moment someone walks into your space, an impression is set.

Which is why the entry way is the perfect place to set the tone for your home.  I absolutely love this entry way designed by Becky Owens.  Smart, functional and high on style.

When designing your entry way, start by determining what needs must be met.  Storage for scarfs, toques umbrellas, etc?  Somewhere to toss your keys or the mail?  Something to perch on while putting on shoes? Once you’ve determined what you need in the space, the fun begins!
