Sometimes using “the big light” is just too much, and natural sunlight is simply not enough when it comes to perfectly lighting a room. From bathrooms to butler’s pantries, check out these spaces where the smaller lights are the bright stars.
The soothing and energizing power of light and color is unveiled in the translucent VAL Luminex bathtub, designed by Konstantin Grcic for Laufen, with nine different ambient settings to choose from to match your mood.
Each forged ring of the Hubbardton Forge’s 20-light Starburst pendant is formed and then hammered to create unique textures and patterns, giving the gold accents in this living room a whole new shine.
This bathroom’s arched mirrors feature On-Mirror TUN technology by Robern that lets you control the brightness and color temperature of the light, from warm to cool, to set the tone for different times of the day.
Small spaces call for even smaller lights. Check out the wall sconces in the bar area of an Upper West Side townhouse. They complement the cabinets high-gloss burgundy color, Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal.
Mood lighting is more than just color and brightness. Shape plays a role in The Line Lamp created by Brooklyn-based lighting and furniture designer Elish Warlop, and each bar can be slid back and forth, changing the density of light and shadow along the wall.
Even the cue sticks get their own mood light in this Cathy Purple Cherry-designed billiards room and bar. Over the pool table, a trio of Urban Electric’s Mac Light in black with a hewn brass gives new perspective to the room’s dark wood accents.
