As Oscar de la Renta once said, "The most important thing? Perfect lighting at all times." Getting that perfect balance is not always easy to achieve. Whether you're looking to add a little ambient, functional, or accent lighting to your estate, these designer fixtures are sure to shine.

Jonathan Adler's Celestial Chandeliers

Adler began his artistic career trying to be a potter but quickly became obsessed with Chanel while at the Rhode Island School of Design.

His lights are an attractive mix of retro and modern chic. If his lighting designs had a personality they would be the soft-spoken yet glamorous type.

His Meurice Chandelier series looks amazing large and small surroundings. Appreciate how it adds a spark of elegance to an understated Danish dining table and chairs.

Brooklyn-born, These Lights Now Shine Worldwide

Gabriel Hendifar and partner Jeremy Anderson founded Apparatus Studio in Brooklyn in 2012. Since then their playful creations made with vintage materials have developed a global devotion.

Nothing defines their aesthetic better than their series of "Cloud" lights. These hand-frosted glass orbs refract a silky soft glow from their interior light sources.

When hung over a cozy bed, they shift the eye upward making furniture-filled rooms seem lighter than air.

Heirloom Quality Lighting from The Deep South

Under the guidance of Creative Director, Michael Amato, Charleston, South Carolina's Urban Electric Company seeks to blend impeccable craftsmanship and sophisticated timelessness into handsome and refined lighting fixtures.

Take the "Chelsea" named after a famous London bridge. A traditional lantern artfully cloaked with modern edges. It can turn any kitchen island into a glorious showpiece.

A Designer Fave Gets Some Planetary Inspiration

Wholesale manufacturer Curry and Company is no stranger to the scores of designers who scoop up their quality lighting designs. Their Spring wall sconces add new dashes of daring to the 31-year old brand's direction.

While they would say their Pinders wall sconce has a "planetary grace," you might just notice a hint of Tolkienesque mystery in this wrought-iron, gold-leaf finished light.

This glowing ornamental fixture hides its source while emitting a sense of inner power.

Where Ornamental Awe Meets Natural Magic

For breathtaking lighting design that also emits an incredible quality of light, look at Ochre's linear celestial petals. These dimmable crystal pebbles come in patinated bronze or satin nickel.

Hanging from the ceiling on a twisted chain, the true magic of these chandeliers is there completely concealed LED's that cause a sliver of glowing gold to appear at the base of glass resembling a raindrop.

An Old Hollywood Take On The Floor Lamp

Floor lights are rarely the statement pieces their chandelier cousins are. Most only differ by stem height and the width of the shade, however, the Barrett Knurled Boom Arm Floor Light cuts out the convention in favor of some cinematic drama.

Resembling a brass version of a movie studio boom mic, this Ralph Lauren Home light packs a warm LED into a clean line that looks anything but boring.

Trends in home lighting this year include space-inspired shapes, old meets new styling and bold designs crafted from familiar elements.

The results are as luxurious as they are luminous.

You already know that fashion designers are the trendsetters when it comes to creating off-the-runway fashion styles, and many of those stylesetters are just as talented at setting design trends for their own luxury homes. The following dazzling interiors showcase some aesthetics that reflect the tastes of some of the most esteemed fashion designers. From lavish living rooms and contemporary kitchens, to fashion-inspired bedrooms and baths, to the most remarkable private outdoor spaces, these areas will inspire the high-end, real estate fashionista. Scroll down to view the most amazing spaces that reflect the inspiration of fashion's most celebrated names.

Living Rooms

This living room embraces the Manhattan skyline. And contemporary, clean-lined and colorless make for a design combination where Isaac Mizrahi, the American fashion designer based in New York City, could take real-world chic and award-winning flair to unleash his inner fashionista.

The turquoise waters create a serenity in this living room that could house Donatella Versace herself, to unabashedly allow her some R&R while her 2019 Spring Collection provides those splashes of color Versace is so well known for.

Remember the Versace Green Dress, also known as the "Jungle-Dress", worn by Jennifer Lopez at the 2000 Grammys? That's the exact splash of color that would work so well with this lavish apartment.

 Kitchens

Ralph Lauren could be having his morning coffee in this kitchen.

Isaac Mizrahi showcases NYC street-style in the same way that this kitchen celebrates its sassy chicness.

Donatella Versace won't be cooking in this kitchen, but it remains just as hot in its style as the Versace empire itself.

 Bedrooms

Polo bedsheets would complete this bedroom.

This Mizrahi-like bedroom leaves nothing to the imagination.

Could you not see Donatella sitting in one of these plush chairs and listening to televised, rave reviews of Versace's 2019 Spring Collection?

 Bathrooms

Bathing has never been so in style.

"At the top" has taken on a whole new meaning for the real estate fashionista who bathes here.

This bath is an oasis where you soak in and soak up paradisal joy.

 Private Outdoor Spaces

Ralph Lauren and his friends would be well suited in chaps to spend time here.

Yes, this sky pool is real and elevates what it means to be "the best of the best" in New York City.

This outdoor space brings the most luxurious full circle.

Whatever you prefer -the American west, urban living or beachside bliss- make your living space a place where your bad-ass fashionista side can relax, rejuvenate and remain reigning high in fashionable realty.
