Indoor lighting can be very personal. Design is all in the detail and in the personal preference. These are some of the lighting choices I have made recently on homes I have worked in.

Hanging Lights

There are more spaces available for hanging lights in your home than you realize. The primary ones are in the foyer, over tables, and over islands in the kitchen. Here are some I have used!

It is semi-flush, but you can add an extension to hang it down. It is 23" so it is a larger semi-flush.

You can use canned lights just about anywhere. What many don't realize is the different settings of lighting you can have with them.
