Lighting is one of the easiest ways to help define a space. With open concept décor, adding the correctly sized pendants over the island, and/or a chandelier over a table can really help define and decorate these areas within the room. With open concept it is important that the fixtures work together, they don’t have to be the same, but they should work together to create a cohesive look. Clear glass versus frosted glass, or shaded fixtures, can have quite different effects in the same space. Clear glass, or an open-framed fixture, will help keep the space light and airy, and ensures the fluidity of the space. This is a great option if you have a large window with a view that you would like to see through. Frosted glass is a great option if you want to define a certain area or create that super cozy feel. Frosted glass and shades also help diffuse the light throughout the space, so it is a great choice for a room you want to have a more comfortable or romantic atmosphere.
