Light up and Make a Statement

Light up and Make a Statement

I always regret playing it safe. In my head it goes, “go on. Let’s be brave this time and do something awesome. But hang on a minute, what if it isn’t awesome? What if, actually you’re just trying to be different for difference sake and really you should just do what everyone else is doing because you’re not an interior designer and you’ll probably end up just messing it up and everyone will think you’re stupid”

Cox and Cox Lighting

My inner monologue turns a simple decorating decision into a life-defining moment. It can escalate pretty quickly up in my head. I’m so dramatic. So instead of going back and forth with myself I decide on making (what I think is) the sensible decision, but then inevitably end up having to do the job twice once the regret sinks in.

I would say I never learn, but I am! Learning that is. I’ve been making conscious choices to avoid this vicious circle and so far it’s really been working out for me. Especially with my latest addition to my dining room. I went big with this trapeze pendant Cox and Cox very kindly sent me to light up this area.

Cox and Cox Lighting

This bold design works perfectly with the softer elements in this room. Instead of sinking into the background the lighting is a prominent feature here. I like to think it draws you into this space. My living and dining spaces are in one room and rather than congregate around the tv I want people to meet here, sit down and chat about the day instead of mindlessly reaching for the remote.

Cox and Cox Lighting

Can a light fixture change the way we use the room? Who knows, but it can certainly create a space worth being in. I might need to add an extra (edible) incentive if I want everyone to join me here more often, but I’m good with that.

Thank you to Cox and Cox for sending me this pendant.

    But if you’re new to driving, you may feel a little nervous about getting behind the wheel.

    Don’t worry. While it’s true that accidents can happen to anybody, there are things you can do to drive safely and do your best to avoid them.

    Thank you for sharing, I really like the idea of such lighting. Whatever idea you come up with for a new interior, you should always start by looking for a good electrical contractor, then he would have examined the room and approved all your ideas at the start. Then you will get the expected result and you will not need to redo anything

    I like this option. Such lighting helps to create a unique atmosphere for every corner of the room and favorably emphasize the advantages of the interior. I advise you to choose modern chandeliers from Vonn here

    Lighting always plays a huge role in your home. I prefer that the room has not one lamp, but many cozy details – lamps that will illuminate every corner and create an atmosphere. And smart switches will make your life even more comfortable. I advise you to learn more about smart relay switch here
