Lighting and Interior Design

Lighting can be a dramatic focal point in a room, or it can be a huge elephant that no one wants to talk about…or look at!  With today’s interior design trends moving away from traditional, European elegance toward a cleaner, modern look, most homeowners will need to address their decorative light fixtures in the near future.

The types of decorative light fixtures are:  flush mount, semi-flush mount, chandelier, pendant and sconce.  Each category brings with it different parameters to consider:  What is the ceiling height?  Are there any doors that would be in the way of a hanging fixture, such as a lantern or chandelier?  How much light does the room need?

It is important to consider the design theme when selecting decorative light fixtures.  Does this style complement the architecture?  Will the fixture enhance and support the overall design scheme we are developing?  Again, we keep all of these considerations in mind when selecting your new decorative lighting fixtures.

And cost…cost is always a factor.  At Eric Ross Interiors in Nashville, TN, we want to create an entire environment for our client, so we make certain that your budget will have enough room to add that perfect fixture—one that we can use when redecorating this room 10 years from today?

Selecting the perfect decorative light fixture can be a master-stroke in a room.  Keeping in mind the various questions to ask when selecting a new fixture can make the difference between a winning design and a lost cause.
