Housetrends Cincinnati June 2020

It can be tricky business selecting the right light
fixture for a room. Thousands of options make
the process overwhelming. A plethora of styles
and sizes in various metals, fabrics, bulb counts and
glass—tinted, etched, frosted or clear—make you
second guess yourself, sometimes even after the
purchase has been made.
This Urchin fixture
by Varaluz is inspired
by the simple,
geometric-shape of
sea urchins with
their telltale barbs.

Is the one from the big box store good enough, or
should you splurge on the special order creation that
caught your eye?
While many of us would lean toward playing it safe,
it appears that those who have the courage to power
things up and make a statement with lighting are setting
the stage for a show-stopping look. Like a great piece of
art, a standout fixture can really draw the eye and set
off a space.
We’ve collected some striking entries from past issues
of Housetrends, as well as some of our favorite manufacturers.
We hope they’ll help you narrow down the field
when you are selecting your own finishing touch. And
if you are hankering for even more choices, go to housetrends.com
and search: statement lighting. ➻
