Style Guide: Modern Youth Bedroom

At Barn Light Electric, we hear a lot about remodel projects for the kitchen, bathroom or outdoors, but we don’t hear a lot about livening up children’s rooms. We threw together another Style Guide to show you just how easy it is to incorporate great, unique lighting into your little boy – or girl’s room. Most of our fun finds this week, came in pink, yellow or purples too so if you have a little girl, this room can be for you too! We chose our bedding and rugs first. Dwell’s duvet set of modern animal silhouettes and geometric shapes brings in plenty of color itself, so we chose a basic navy and white rug from Ikea to go on the floor below.

Colorful Kitchens and Pendant Lighting

As with death and taxes, there is no escaping color. Apartment Therapy is a unique design resource that proves using color is a Good Thing (yes, we just quoted Martha Stewart). This vibrant image caught our eye while perusing Apartment Therapy’s vast selection of inspirational and low cost design ideas. This photo, featured in their Adding Color in the Kitchen post, first caught our eye with it’s use of Kelly Green cabinetry. Although far brighter than the standard wood-toned cabinets we are accustomed to, the green backdrop provides a unique, calming feeling when paired with its reclaimed, vintage accessories.

Pendant Lighting For Your Vintage Farmhouse Kitchen

Originally suited for lighting machine shops, power plants, and shipping departments, the classic industrial shape and function of the Deep Bowl Pendant serves as a hallmark to mid-20th century RLM lighting innovation. This particular fixture was created to collect and focus an evenly distributed spread of light over workers and benches positioned below its deep dome reflector. As the Deep Bowl and other RLM models’ reputation spread throughout factories, various lighting manufacturers began to produce versions of these popular industrial lights.
