Porcelain Pendant Lighting for Bright White Laundry Room

Laundry Rooms & Mudrooms, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Pendant Lighting for Bright White Laundry Room

Most laundry rooms are not blessed with abundant amounts of natural light. Often relegated to the basement or an interior wall or closet, the laundry room must be illuminated by more artificial means of lighting but that does not necessarily mean boring, big-box-store fixtures. Check out this bright white laundry room that is indeed blessed with some natural light coming in from the next room. But to supply the necessary “did that stain I pretreated really come out on the first try” lighting, a beautiful porcelain barn light hangs from above. This shade resembles our Ivanhoe® Sky Chief Warehouse Porcelain Pendant, one of the most popular fixtures in our line of Ivanhoe® Porcelain Pendant Lighting.

Barn Pendant Light Adds Pop of Color, Style to Farmhouse Kitchen

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Barn Pendant Light Adds Pop of Color, Style to Farmhouse Kitchen

industrial-farmhouse-kitchen.jpgWhen faced with a tight space for a kitchen, one of the busiest rooms in the house, you might be tempted to keep everything on a small scale — the table, the appliances, the accessories. This cozy kitchen proves that if you want to go grand, it can certainly work. The long dining table fits right into the space with the smooth wooden surface complementing the wide planks of the rugged flooring. Instead of filling in the former fireplace, it becomes a cozy nook for the fridge, and the mantel makes a convenient shelf for the airy, sweeping plant that fills the upper space. And the touches of red all add a pop of color that livens up the look. The barn pendant hanging from above in a matching red finish is the crowning touch. Read More »

Classic Warehouse Shades Add Splash of Color to Artists’ Retail Space

Commercial Spaces, Retail Stores Betty Leave a Comment on Classic Warehouse Shades Add Splash of Color to Artists’ Retail Space

A few weeks ago we featured a building in North Portland, Oregon that has been reclaimed and refurbished into studio space to accommodate the area’s growing artistic movement. In that early September blog, our focus was on the bare bulb industrial style pendants used in the space along with low-energy Plumen Light Bulbs.

Vintage Porcelain Lighting Sets Mood in Victorian Wine Cellar

Home Tours, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Vintage Porcelain Lighting Sets Mood in Victorian Wine Cellar

vintage_cord_hung_porcelain_pendant.jpgSad as it may be, most homes don’t come with a wine cellar. Much less a wine cellar that oozes with warmth, style, and a moody vibe that lets you know as soon as you cross the threshold that this is a place to slow down, relax, and breathe —  just like a good wine. This gorgeous setting is part of a 126-year-old home located in Connecticut’s Pine Meadow Historic District. Known as the Philip Chapin House after its first owner, it is named in the National Register of Historic Places as “an excellent example of Victorian domestic architecture.” The owners have spent decades preserving the historic details of this home and, as you can see here, chose classic porcelain lighting to set the mood.

Barn Pendant Adds Chic Look to Industrial Farmhouse Kitchen

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Barn Pendant Adds Chic Look to Industrial Farmhouse Kitchen

In watching the industrial design trend take off like a freight train, we see so many examples of lighting that once hung in warehouses and factories now being used in every room of the house. From RLM-inspired warehouse shades in the kitchen and porcelain reflector shades in the dining room to barn wall sconces in the bathroom. There’s been an uptick as well in commercial settings where warehouse lighting can be found in businesses ranging from swanky boutiques to country stores.industrial_farmhouse_reflector_cone_pendant.jpg Read More »

Porcelain Deep Bowl Pendants Lend Glamour to Belgium Hotel

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Deep Bowl Pendants Lend Glamour to Belgium Hotel

Part of the appeal of the industrial style is its raw, unfinished feel. At the Hotel O in Leper, Belgium, they have taken the industrial style to new heights with a dark, moody interior highlighted by retro style lighting. The check-in desk, shown here on the left, is a simple, raw wood counter, and dark walls and dark floors throughout add to the introspective vibe of the space. Deep bowl pendants hang in both the lobby and the restaurant and offer their own kind of pensive style. These pendants are very similar to our Ivanhoe® Wilcox Deep Bowl Porcelain Pendant, part of our signature collection of Porcelain Barn Lighting.
