Lighting By Jean

   “Light fixtures are the jewelery of a room.”   

Scott Richter, architect and furniture designer of the Montreal-based firm Jennifer Scott, was asked by Liza Finlay, of Style at Home magazine, (March, 2008),  “does lighting play a large part in your interiors and products?” His answer shows that we are on the right track when we pay particular attention to the shape and quality of lighting fixtures we include in our décor.  He said:  Light fixtures are the jewelery of a room.  Any architect will tell you that light is an integral part of design: it creates drama and contrast, that “wow”. Space is made up of material and light—that’s it.  There are only two kinds of light: the kind that exists and the kind that we create artificially.  With light fixtures, we can push the fanciful aspect.  It’s our opportunity to be expressive. Liza also asked him how to light a small space.  Scott Richler:  Lighting a small space, or any space, really is purpose-driven.  The way a space is lit should be dictated by its intended use.  I’d start by lighting the walls of a smaller room to open it up.  If you’re using conventional recessed lights, place them closer to where the walls and ceiling meet, instead of in the middle of the ceiling.  I’d avoid hanging  any fixtures that are out of scale.  For example, if you hang a chandelier that’s too large, it will be obvious.

We have satin steel track lights with adjustable arms that would be the perfect accent to any room. 

Anyone who’s been shopping for lighting at the major home improvement warehouses can tell you there’s pretty slim pickin’s as far as choice is concerned.  Though they do seem to have hundreds of styles of lights they all seem to be slight variations on the same theme.  Either the ever-present halogen pillar or some variation of ceiling fan seems to be the choices.  Whatever their claim to fame is or may be, it certainly isn’t lighting.
