As the get into the full swing of the holiday season and the new year approaches, many of us are holding festive gatherings, family dinners, and joyous celebrations. Upgrading your overhead lighting fixtures in key rooms such as the dining room, living room, bathroom, foyer, and front door entrance can transform your space and elevate the overall holiday experience- and ring in fresh style for the new year! Here’s our top five reasons why it’s time to treat yourself and your home to new lighting.

1. Set the Mood with Adjustable Lighting

The proper lighting can set the tone for any occasion, and the holiday season is no exception. Swapping out outdated or inadequate fixtures for modern, adjustable lighting options allows you to create the perfect ambiance for each memorable moment. Whether you're hosting an intimate family dinner or a lively holiday party, having control over the brightness and warmth of your lighting can enhance the mood and make your space more inviting. Many fixtures, like our show-stopping Inverse LED pendant, include dimmable, integrated light sources that easily dim down to an enchanting, festive glow.

2. Showcase Your Festive Decor with Overhead Lights

You've spent time and effort decorating your home with festive flair, so why not ensure that your decor takes center stage? Upgrading your overhead lighting fixtures allows you to highlight your holiday decorations and create focal points in the room. Opt for fixtures that complement your decor style and enhance the visual appeal of your festive arrangements. From chandeliers to ceiling mounts, the style is up to you!

3. Functional Entryway Lighting for High-Traffic Areas

High-traffic areas such as the foyer and front door entrance need fixtures that provide ample illumination while making a statement. Adequate lighting in entryways enhances the overall aesthetic and improves safety and functionality, ensuring a warm welcome for your holiday guests. Try a flush mount with a clear glass shade, like the Adley Collection, to make your surroundings shine their brightest.

4. Create an Inviting Dining Experience

The dining room is a focal point during holiday gatherings, making it the perfect place to invest in upgraded lighting. Pendant lights or a chandelier above the dining table can add a touch of elegance and create a more intimate atmosphere. Adjustable or customizable fixtures also allow you to tailor the lighting to suit different occasions, from formal holiday dinners to casual brunches with friends. We suggest the Elara 6-Light Chandelier - you can customize its look by selecting from a choice of tapered or fabric drum shades, or clear cylindrical glass shades to accent its slender, chic form.

5. Elevate Everyday Living Spaces

Beyond holiday festivities, upgraded overhead lighting fixtures can enhance your day-to-day living experience. In the living room and bathroom, where various activities occur, consider fixtures that provide both functional and aesthetically pleasing illumination. For example, in the bathroom, add luxurious vanity lighting like Copeland Collection whose geometric opal glass shades and soft gold finish delivers elegant illumination. Or add new lighting at the front entrance to greet guests in style. Our Padget Collection features a clean, tapered form reminiscent of traditional coach lanterns but has a modern elongated form for today’s home designs.
