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.

Moore purchased the house with her fiancé, Taylor Goldsmith in January 2017. Interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel and architect Emily Farnham were enlisted to transform the 1950’s  3,551-square-foot home into the couple’s dream pad. Golden fittings and fixtures appear to be a theme with faucets and cabinet pulls along with pendent lighting, mirrors (well, okay brass from CB2) in a distinctive midas hue. The influence is undoubtedly ’70’s retro, including terrazzo floors with gilded divider strips.

Construction meetings at our #lessismooremm project have become the highlight of my week. Later today we get to check in on the terrazzo progress (a 5-6 week process). Here’s a rendering of our #palladiana terrazzo fireplace ledge being fabricated right now. Swipe for the before. #emilyfarnhamarchitecture

The kitchen, which underwent a full scale demo, introduced a single waterfall design island made out of Calcutta Venato marble with juniper cabinets. Contemporary flair is added with more slabs of marble, a theme which is continued into the shower. No cleaning grout lines with a toothbrush for Moore and Goldsmith.

The calm before the storm at #lessismooremm one week ago right before move-in day. The furniture installation is almost complete and our clients are in the process of making it home. We’re all excited to show you more soon. #emilyfarnhamarchitecture A post shared by Emily Farnham (@emilyfarnhamarchitecture) on Jan 23, 2018 at 9:33am PST

The upholstered green headboard hasn’t been seen in boudoirs since Barry White was used for seduction. And those pendant lights will have you digging out your parents’ flares. As for the felt fabrics on the sofas, cue an old episode of Charlie’s Angles and you might have seen them. That said, the retro elements don’t overpower this renovation. Instead, the clean lines, and modern touches add a sophisticated cool with a touch of fun.

A rendering of our #lessismooremm project, currently under construction. The master bath was another place we had to get a little surgical to remove the traces of an ill-fitting previous addition. Swipe for the before, and swipe again for the only time wall-to-wall carpet was acceptable in a bathroom. #emilyfarnhamarchitecture

Moore and Goldsmith clearly nabbed Sherman because she didn’t want a home that looked like everyone else’s. No white cabinets, grey walls and hardwood floors for them. Sherman’s ’70’s flirtations are clearly bold statements but not garishly so. The softer greens and  natural elements —stone and wood — take down the disco ball and turn the show house into a home, which can actually be lived in as opposed to photographed.
