Lighting Ideas
When choosing lighting, it helps to factor in the design of your room. This is a simple trick to help make choosing lights easy.
Layer types of lighting in your room: mix and match different lighting styles and shade styles. Examples: vintage and modern, transitional and mid-century modern / low level lights, medium height or overhead lighting like pendants or chandeliers. Layering lights will give your room a refreshed and illuminated look.
Lighting That Can Be Layered
Here’s a look at some of the styles you can find when shopping at Potato Barn:
Add one lamp to the end of our sideboard and a pot or other decor piece to the opposite end to create contrast in your space.
Glass lamps are quite popular these days. These amber lamps mix a bit of vintage with this modern sideboard. Mixing styles is fun!
Floor lamps bring some height to the space. This thin style lamp is a great addition next to your sofa or accent chair.
Have a really long sideboard? Why not break up the space and add some height dimension with a lower profile vase. And be sure to add some greenery. It will warm up the space.
Larger lamps can become a unique focal point.
Modern, contemporary, industrial or farmhouse… whichever style of lighting you choose, lighting is a great way to switch things up in your space. Lighting is also one of the easiest to switch out if you want to add in a different style to the space.
Tie in finishes. This floor lamp is a similar finish to the side table. The different heights also bring dimension to the space.
