When choosing lights, most people try and blend the fitting in with the room or even make them invisible. That's why so many people choose the dreaded downlight. Don't get me wrong, down lights have their place. But I can't help but feel that people choose them because they are an easy option. One sure way to make a bold and unique statement in an interior is with lighting. I love the idea of using a kick arse light fitting, just as you would a sculptural piece or artwork. Statement lighting can transform the look and feel of a space, providing edge and interest to an otherwise boring room. Don't be afraid to be adventurous with your light fittings. They're there to serve a purpose but they can also be used as a unique decorator piece.
