What Light Fixtures to use High End Showcase Home |
|||
 Beautiful lighting fixtures are becoming more of a priority in the high end custom home industry. Olsen Custom Homes hired our lighting design team to help select and place all of their lighting fixtures and ceiling fans in their premier showcase home. These custom built showcase homes are what high end custom builders use to show off their best work. We have taken pictures of every room in this home so we can share it with you. The pictures are compliments of the talented graphic designer Dale Roberts |

Use Many Types of Kitchen Lighting Fixtures to Create the Perfect Light This is another picture of the Kitchen Lighting showing all of the different types of light sources we used. We used recessed lighting to create an easy to control general lighting. The decorative island pendant is part of a pen shell series by Metropolitan with matching bar pendants to match. The xenon under cabinet lights are used to off set the shadowing from the light above when performing tasks on the counter top.Family Room Lighting done Right In the showcase family room we used four different types of light sources to complete the well lit atmosphere. The Adare ceiling fan by Minka Aire Fans has the same pen shell glass used on the decorative light fixtures in the kitchen lighting. This ceiling fan comes with dimmable up lighting and down lighting to help create different moods. We used recessed fixtures in the elaborate tray ceiling and in the inset walls by the fire place. This combination of all dimmable lighting will give you complete control of the mood in this room.What Type of Lighting for the Theater? The wall mounted sconces are of the same pen shell series that were used in the kitchen and family room. The sconces create the perfect home theater mood when dimmed while watching a good movie. We used recessed lighting as the main dimmable ambient lighting source. Step lighting was used so that you can have floor lighting during the movie with out obstructing the integrity of the movie.Wine Cellar Lighting Most wine cellars tend to be in smaller darker rooms that are climate controlled. We used a Metropolitan pen shell series pendant with a matching wall sconce. Both the pendant lighting and the wall sconce lighting are dimmable so you can create the intimate wine cellar mood.How to Complete Your Master Bathroom Lighting Bathroom lighting is one of the most important rooms to light right in your home to assure that women look beautiful and men shave all the hairs necessary. We used a mini chandelier over the tub from the Minka-Lavery Jessica McClintock lighting series and the matching vanity lights on the mirrors. The Vanity lights use four 100watt bulbs creating enough light to perform any type of grooming. We also used recessed lighting and a table lamp for general ambient light.Master Bedroom Lighting In the master bedroom we added the Salon Grand ceiling fan with medallion that matched the master bathroom mini chandelier and vanity lights. Again the recessed lighting was used for general ambient light. The bedside table lamps are great for reading controllable from either side of the bed.How to Light the Dining Area without Glare? The main problem with dining room lighting is to much glare from a single chandelier. To solve this problem we use recessed fixtures in the side mantel and wall sconces in the same pen shell series that we used for the chandelier. All of these light sources would be dimmable to create an intimate dining mood. | |||
