For the Powder Room:
Small spaces are the perfect place to add a bit of over-the-top drama. Go super glam with glimmers of cut crystal and burnished silver: This retro pendant lamp and matching sconces are a perfect choice for any lavish lavatory.
For the Living Room:
In a large area, layered lighting works best. Instead of relying on a single overhead fixture, create cozy pools of light with strategically placed table lamps.
