They’re not always given the importance they deserve, but a good light fixture can set the tone for an entire room. Today I’m putting the spotlight on a line I really love, by Visual Comfort.
Every time I come to choosing the lights for a particular project, I’m drawn to this design house. Whether the look is contemporary chic, classic minimalism, or traditional and ornate, I always find something here that appeals to my design sensibilities.
Recently I was on the lookout for a simple pendant light and I came across this gorgeously elegant scallop pendant designed by Barbara Barry for Visual Comfort.

I just adore the grace and simplicity of something like this, which works in any environment – the sign of good design. How perfect it looks as part of this all-white interior, set against a dark wood floor. I love how the curves of the lightshade echo the Baroque-inspired mirror frame!

You can understand how versatile this piece is if you see it in bathroom setting. Combined with the French doors and old-fashioned taps, it helps create a real sense of luxury and style.

One of my other favorites is this stunning regency chandelier, created by designer Joe Nye.

You can’t beat a chandelier for adding a genuine touch of grandeur to a room. I’m loving the effect of this gorgeous chandelier in a dining room that just oozes neoclassical charm. It’s actually from the home of Visual Comfort founder Andy Singer!

You can go as ornate and grand as you like with a chandelier. This decor, which was styled by Suzanna Kasler (another member of the Visual Comfort team) is a great example of how a room can marry traditional and modern elements to create an aesthetically pleasing as well as a comfortable and ‘livable’ space. We were able to use this elegant chandelier in one of our interior design projects, which will be featured soon!

The highly decorative chandelier is simply the icing on the cake – or the ‘highlight’, if you like!
