Illuminate Your Space with the Power of Statement Lighting

At Black and Milk, we understand that lighting isn’t just functional—it’s transformative. Statement lighting can instantly elevate any room, creating a focal point that adds both style and substance to your space. Here’s why it matters and how to make it work in your home.

✨ Why Statement Lighting Is Essential:

Create Ambience: The right lighting sets the mood, whether you want a warm, cosy atmosphere or a bright, energising space. A well-chosen fixture can enhance the overall feel of the room.
Define a Focal Point: A bold chandelier or unique pendant light can act as the centrepiece of a room, drawing attention and creating a visually stunning focal point.
Add Personality: Lighting is an opportunity to inject your personal style into the space. From sleek modern designs to artistic statement pieces, the options are endless.
Balance Form and Function: While aesthetics are important, ensure your statement lighting provides the appropriate level of brightness for the room’s purpose. Consider adjustable or layered lighting options for versatility.

✨ Tips for Choosing the Perfect Statement Light:

Consider Scale: A large fixture in a small room can overwhelm, while a tiny light may get lost in a bigger space. Make sure the size of your light fits the room’s proportions.
Mix Materials: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different materials and textures. A metal frame combined with glass elements can add depth and interest to your space.
Play with Placement: Statement lighting isn’t just for dining rooms and living spaces. Consider placing an eye-catching fixture in unexpected areas like bathrooms or hallways for a surprising twist.
Think About Height: Ensure your lighting is hung at the right height. Chandeliers should be high enough not to obstruct views but low enough to make an impact.

I would also definitely go white if the windows are on the green wall. Will be much more natural to tie the accent wall with the stark wht contrasting walls. Always a very chic contemporary look. Also very relaxing as opposed to the treatments standing out when you already have your standout feature- the green accent wall. Great white bed you ordered! Then I love all the blue/green/ silver accent advice. I did a similar room in purples/greys/ whites and we used great posted prints of florals with a little oriental flair in nice big mats w frames. You could do florals or nice big botanicals in greens would be very fresh and modern!! White or silver frames or maybe even the shock of black would be cool.

Hi Marie. It's difficult to tell how wide the room is but a round table could work at the foot of the stairs. Dress with a large bowl and plants/flowers etc. you could also try hanging 3 chandeliers or pendants down the hall. I would also have either 2 matching consoles opposite each other by the front door or keep your existing and add some seating opposite to create symmetry. I think if you were to dress the console with bigger items it would stand out more ie ginger jars on the bottom shelf, classic urns, plants etc on the top. Once you've got the basics done and budget permits, you can add further floor standing decorative pieces, a small chair etc. I think you definitely need some tall art by the front door though or even mirrors if you're not keen to add art

www.visioninteriors.ie Looking at your curtains and curtain pole, in my opinion it is the pole that initially needs to be corrected - it is a nice steel pole,however the importance of a pole being fitted correctly makes a huge difference to the hanging and look of the curtains. the brackets at each end of the pole should be at least 8"/20cm away from each sides of the window, this allows the curtains to frame the window nicely while letting in as much light as possible. The brackets should be 2"/5cm away from the finial ( ball end in this case) at each end of the pole. The space between the bracket and the finial (end of the pole) has one curtain ring only and the rest of the curtain rings/hooks are the window side of the brackets so that the curtains can hang straight. Whether you buy new curtains or hold onto your existing ones check out the fitting of the pole and remedy it - you will be amazed at the difference this can make.

Your house is very attractive but a little TLC is required. If possible depending on budget limitations, I would do the following to soften the edges and add a manicured, polished yet homely feeling to the house: Area needing attention: Front door and surrounds Issue: Lack of a focal point, has no presence and appears to recess into the house • Remove all potted plants from outside the front door • Remove the seat from under the main window • Rent/borrow a water power washer to clear away the moss/weeds • Paint the front door (if wood) a dolphin grey colour and add a door wreath (radiates warmth) • Purchase 2 potted Bay trees (Laurus Nobilis) to be placed either side of the newly painted front door to frame the doorway • Put up a postbox on the wall to the right of the front door • Add 2 external candle lanterns to enhance the ambience for house viewings
