When you think of updating your home, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it remodeling the kitchen? Updating the bathroom? Many of us shy away from making changes to our home décor because we simply aren’t ready to renovate, or even paint. That doesn’t mean that you can’t update your space–it’s amazing how making one small change in your home décor can have such a huge impact!

Replacing your hardware and adding new accessories is the easiest way to make a beautiful and cost effective design update in your home. See your home in a new light by replacing your old light fixtures. These days, lighting isn’t just lighting, anymore. It can be used as artwork, a statement piece, a focal point or for that fabulous piece that brings the whole room together. A new light fixture could be the WOW factor your space is missing!

Here are some of the latest styles and lighting designs that caught our eye at Design Connection, Inc. All of the pieces we are sharing today are available through our design studio here in Overland Park. If you would like to browse lighting options that are not available at national stores or if you need help picking out the perfect piece, we invite you to stop by! If you see something you love, let us know!

Brass and Gold

Brass and gold elements have shifted from an interior design trend into an interior design movement. Incorporating these features into your lighting choices will give your space an updated look for many years to come.

Metals

The right light fixture can be the perfect piece to tie different styles in a room together. Is your traditional kitchen a little too traditional? Mix it up with a modern metal light fixture!

Pendants

Pendant lights are moving beyond the kitchen island and into bathrooms and bedrooms. Using pendant lighting in place of an overhead vanity in the bathroom, or in place of table lamps at your bedside, will give your space an elegant, sophisticated look.

Chandeliers

Once reserved for entryways and formal dining rooms, chandeliers are becoming the shining design in rooms that you’d least expect. From kitchens and bathrooms to guest bedrooms and walk-in closets, chandeliers can be used in any room that needs a touch of glamor.

We share designs that inspire us in the hopes that you, too, will be inspired to make the changes in your home that you dream of. If you need help making these changes come to life, contact the interior design professionals at Design Connection, Inc. for a complimentary design consultation.  From selecting the perfect light fixture to creating custom furniture and draperies to masterminding an entirely new floor plan, we do it all, big and small. Contact us today!
