20 Unique Ways to Light Up Your Entire Home With Personality

Make no mistake: Light fixtures do more than simply brighten dim spaces. In fact, when done well, a room's lighting coaxes the eye upward, opening the space to its full dimension and potential. It also carries forward the desired tone of the designer, whether that means adding a dash of glam with crystal beads glimmering upon the edges of a wrought iron chandelier or a dose of playful mischief with a just-right pineapple sconce (click through our slideshow to see examples of both!).

Often an opportunity to stun, light fixtures can be showstopping centerpieces (we're stealing the title — and glory — from you, all-white flower arrangements) and deserve just as much design consideration as any fireplace mantle or grand staircase. Because truly luxe accommodations don't limit the scope of their attention solely to walls and floors. They embrace every dimension. Here, we've gathered 20 luxury lighting ideas sure to inspire you to glam-up your ceilings ASAP.
