10 Modern Lights You Have To Have

Lighting is one of the most common things my clients tell me they need help with. Choosing a light feels like such a big commitment because it is attached to your home – it is a fixture. Choosing a location for your light can also be daunting because it means putting a hole in your wall! In some cases, even through millwork. So, while it certainly is a commitment, it is one of the most fun things to choose for a space. Lighting is the jewelry of your home! 

If you came here because you’re having trouble choosing lighting for your own space, it is your lucky day! Below you will find 25 modern light choices that I think are sure to knock your socks off! Even better, I sourced them too! You can easily click any link below to be directed right to the lighting to purchase.
