One of the things that strike me most about a room is the lighting – it can be the amount of light or type of lighting in a room. Our new apartment has several groups of interesting pendant lighting in the living room. But I would love to have chandeliers (including my most popular pin on Pinterest with a chandelier in a pink and gray bedroom!) some day to give that unexpected chic edge. Unique lighting in the most unusual places – like a kitchen or bedroom – really make an unexpected statement. Or lighting in different forms, like in the stainless steel chandelier or adorable bowling hats (how fun for a family room!) would be fun too!
Unique lighting can also be a chic, but cheap way (at least cheaper relative to other large statement pieces) to make a great decor statement.
What are your favorite examples of lighting?
these are such great examples of useful and beautiful lighting. right now we just have a stand up lamp and the chandelier that came with the apartment, but i’m hoping for some more interesting pieces (like the 5th photo w/ the silver discs.
Love that third one, it is stunning!! The rest of them would make me feel like I was in a restaurant too much. But, that one I love :)) Happy Wednesday doll x
i’d like to decorate my room with pink and black chandelier too but it’s quite expensive in my country

Such ingenious ways of lighting up a room. An interesting light fitting really defines a living space. These are so creative, the dice is so cute!
Ohmigosh the top hats are the cutest idea EVER – I LOVE! 🙂
Love the chandelier in #3! SO gorgeous.
I love the look of chandeliers, but with our 14-foot ceilings in our rental, I somehow don’t think we’re going to be able to have any while we live here. I desperately need to work on the lighting in our apartment – it can really change the entire look and feel of a room!
these are amazing. I’m in love witht he idea of top hats as light fixtures. they look so tastefully whimsical
great post!!

I’d be scared to sit in one of those chairs!
These are so playful and fun. I especially like the hats and the wire chandelier. I saw a really fun one in Ikea the other day…
Great post!

I’ve never seen anything like the last one! Lights in the form of major sized dice? That’s amazing.
these are so fun! lighting really adds so much dimension to a room.
Chic on the Cheap
Hello!I love all the ideas, except for the last picture!in my house I have opted mainly for low-profile lamps, like apliques, built-in spotlights, ceiling lamps. In the living room though I’ve treated myself with a chandelier made of three apple- shaped crystal lamps hanging by means of straight transparent wires at a low height over the table. May I also add that what I love the most is a candle-lit room!ciao
I love unique lighting choices, I’m usually too much of a chicken to use them myself!
Great inspo! Loving the chandelier!!
