Interior Design Tips: Consistency in Lighting 

Great tip about making the finishes different enough to make it clear that you weren't trying to match, and strategy for mixing metals.

Enjoyed this information. I appreciate that there was no background music as well. Thank you for sharing this information. 🤗💚

It’s so encouraging to know that we can mix finishings.

Hi!!! I’d absolutely LOVE it if you’d make an updated “2023 version”of this video!! I’m in desperate need of help picking updated lighting. Loved this video, just need some ideas for 2023-2024 design trends ❤

LOVE YOUR STYLE. I love your house....or all the pictures. Great advice. Lighting is so important.

Excellent video!!! Thank you for all the good tips!!!

Excellent video. Thank you!

This is a great idea for a series. Can't wait for your next one ✨

Amazing ideas! I will try to use them in my new project in planner 5d.

Very helpful, thank you so much! Keep these coming!

This was great. I learned so much. Looking forward to watching the other videos

Absolutely loved this video! Great tips and from someone that loves an eclectic style this helped a lot.

I needed this so much!! Thank you. 🤍

Great tips! Thank you for sharing! :))

I found your video helpful. I used to build homes for a living and now teach high school engineering. Some of my favorite lighting has to do with task lighting and mood lighting. In my kitchen, I have five different lighting circuits (Main 4x8 fluorescent w/crown frame, 4 recessed cans, under-cabinet, over-cabinet, and 3 pendants over the bar/sink) two of which are on Lutron dimmers, and the two cabinet are rgb-led light strips which have dimmers built-in. The over-cabinet and under-cabinet are switched receptacles inside/above the wall cabinets. This allows for updating lighting when needed. With the recessed cans, pendants, and cabinet lighting dimming options you can create various combinations for a very pleasing effect, themed for the season, and perfect for entertaining. Throughout my home, I have three lighting options in the living rooms and master bedroom (indirect up ceiling light, ceiling fan, and recessed cans). I am a fan of trayed ceilings with crown molding flying out from the lower tray and led strip lights sitting inside the crown shining up to the higher ceiling illuminating ceiling crown and trim details. I also have a stone-walled arched nitch in the dining room with three miniature recessed lights washing the wall revealing the character of the stone. I know I got carried away with the lighting in my home but I really love the warmth, comfort, and calming effect it offers. Keep up the good work.

Planning our dream home and you've helped me think differently about the lighting! Thank you.

On the onset I thought wow what a great video idea. But I am at the 6.45 minute now into the video and wow there's is so much stuff in selecting lighting and you are such a good teacher and your tips are just things one would never have thought about. Superb. Can't wait to watch the rest of the video and can't wait for the entire series.

A+ content. Exactly what I'm struggling with right now.

I absolutely love the lighting you picked for us😀

Great video this makes me feel more confident about the decisions we have made in our fixer upper! It was super stressful for me picking out light fixtures ect and I mixed some metals but I tried to make them flow best I could and I’m glad I did! Thanks for the video

Hey friend! Beautiful video. So informative, so aesthetic. Will be saving and sharing when my friends ask me about lights for sure!

SO many helpful tips!!!

Great tips! You definitely gave me some direction. We are in the middle of a rebuild and are at the lighting stage. So many decisions!!!

LOVE Visual Comfort & Co.

I needed this video! Great explanation for me that has no clue.

Great video Chloe! I’m stuck trying to pick out lightning for my new home. What you mentioned at the end stuck out to me!

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you!

Nice video with very useful information that I can use straight away. Can you share the stain colors and wood type for the kitchen island, appliance wall and the book shelves?

Very helpful :). I’m struggling because I thought I could only mix two finishes. I have black hardware on my doors and brushed nickel kitchen fixtures. I wanted to add some gold and also my kitchen pendants and dining fixture are In close proximity.

I really would enjoy seeing you more often I like your home and property and would like some advice as to where is a nice area with nice houses and land since we’re thinking of relocating from NYC. I would greatly appreciate your advice

We're building a semi-custom home in Boise and found out that the lighting options given by the builder looked hideous. Thank you for convincing me that, if I could splurge on something, lighting would be one that deserved attention.

I wish I could have watched this video before I made some mistakes with my lighting on my main floor remodel. So many good tips!!

I have struggled with "consistency" and appreciate your guidance especially with lighting. Thank you so much for these videos!

Love the video, it was super helpful! You should make a video about taking care of your goats.

Nicely done…. Where did you get the pendant lights in your kitchen

Thank you so much for all your tips and inspiration. With the popularity of LED mirrors would you suggest combining other light fixtures with the LED mirrors whether it be overhead lighting or wall sconces along side the LED ? TIA

Exactly what I've been searching for! I am in the middle of creating a lighting plan and the variety is overwhelming. What I'd really like to know is how to get quality lighting without spending $500 on each item or having everything look like it's from the display at the Ikea or Home Depot; I guess "lighting for the rest of us". Your video really gives useful, helpful information. Thank you.

❤❤thank you so much . This video is so helpful . I have a question. We have small open space 45 m. Kitchen vs breakfast nook vs 2 chairs with fireplace . I think 2 big pendants can do my room smaller visually and divide room into 2 rooms . What do you think about one pendant on island with same level as big chandelier of living room ?

Can you please make more videos on interior design and how you project plan. I’m studying interior design and taking on a project and this is very helpful. Thank you 💕

Wow, this was mind-blowing! I definitely am the person who has about 50 tabs open on my browsers toggling back and forth to compare fixtures lol…to no avail. I’m going to try your approach with Pintrest and Canva! Thank you!!

I love the bedroom light on your board! The ball chandelier with brass finish. I can’t find it anywhere; would you be able to provide me with the link please? ♥️🤗

I think you are all the lighting any home would need...

Hey :) where are the cabinet knobs from ? I’m looking for something dainty like those.. thanks so much!!!

What kind of app do you use to create a kanban board? Thank you.

Great video! In the middle of a whole house remodel on a 1965 brick ranch. Any suggestions for island pendant lighting where 8ft ceilings are involved? Having difficulty getting the pendants to look and hang right in that limited amount of space. They look stubby and squat and, in my opinion, the shades/globes look too close to the ceiling. Looking into linear pendant lighting but most are super modern or industrial and we are transitional/coastal. Thanks!!!!

For a smaller island, 76”x31” would you say one 14” pendant is enough? How do we think about proportion? Thanks so much!

Fabulous video! I am replacing lighting in my vacation home (slightly rustic cabin style). The previous lighting was brushed nickel and very matchy/dated. I have selected a matte black wagon wheel with frosted cylinder shades for the dining room. We dim those lights a lot, and I like the dimming better with the frosted shade. The foyer is visible from the dining room and I am trying to decide how different to go. Yes, I could do the smaller matching wagon wheel, but that would be boring. I have seen a lot of lantern styles I like, but would it be better to have a drum or cylinder shape to echo the round wagon wheel? There will also be a ceiling fan in the great room (black with walnut blades). Thoughts? and Thank you!

I just found your channel; great information, thanks! What is the board you are talking about that you can place all your choices on?

How do you pick the color of lighting (warm vs cool) in rooms?

Thank you for your videos. Very informative, I have a question. I have a new building I am designing. The highest point of the ceiling is 14 ft high of which I am going to have 2 chandelier hanging from the beams. (16x20 space) What would your recommend/thoughts be for how far the light should hang down into the space? Is there a tried and true calculation for hanging lights in a large room style setting? like you had mentioned for pennants over a kitchen island, it seems like I see designers speak of that standard height for hanging. I am having difficulty finding any information for the great room setting.

WELCOME TO THE NETWORKING PLATFORM,

Do you have an app recommendation for a camera board? I couldn’t find anything using that term. Thanks!

Two other elements of lighting are 'layering' and placement. Maybe you can do a part 2 on lighting to cover these aspects also. Layering of overheads, sconces, task etc....and chandeliers that need to be hung low enough over tables or in high ceiling rooms so that they do not look like UFO's hovering in the sky. Colors of shades, each play a role (think black shades) as well as the ideal height of a lamp/shade on a living room table or bedside table so that your eye is not blinded by seeing the bulb. How about 'wall-washers' for textured walls, and uplights in the floor for wall-washing and plant hightlighting as well as safe night-time strolls? Sooo much to discuss....

Can you please list some Canadian sources, if you know, thank you🙏☺️

Could you do a companion video that shows examples of interiors that have the type of lighting you're recommending & why? A very helpful video but too much video time was the presenter talking--a very lovely presenter, but I want to see what you're talking about and why you love it. Thank you!

I have definitely bought a wagon wheel chandelier that could only hang too low for 10 foot ceilings... 300 dollar mistake. Read the specs like she said!

I like the info but would be nice if there were more examples.

Put on the lights dimming video mam

Ice cold

you are beautiful

Too much preamble about not liking lighting

McGee & Co are completely overpriced & overrated. Beautiful photography & photo styling do NOT make seamless shipping & quality. Buyer beware. The prices are insulting.

She talked too much and showed a little
