Narrow and refine your lighting search articulate your style of decor so you can focus on something that
will complement your interior design.

lighting. Samples of wood used in cabinetry and flooring, as well as fabrics and colors, can
steer you to the appropriate selections.

How will the room be used?

Answering this question completely ensures that appropriate lighting recommendations can be made.
When visiting a lighting showroom, in addition to having a handle on what style you like, you need to ask
yourself, "what is it that I am doing in these rooms?" For example, will the lighting be used for tasks, or
will it be mostly ambient or decorative? Those questions will ultimately help refine the type of light you need.

Do I need an appointment?

NO! yet we recommend calling ahead so we can better match what you’re looking for with our
staff of lighting consultants. For example, if you want traditional lighting we would
recommend you see a different consultant than if you had a highly technical contemporary
design in mind.
