Lighting is where we spend most of our design energy, and it shows in the size of the Lighting collection — chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces, ceiling fixtures, table and floor lamps, cordless lamps, string lights, and the bulbs and sockets to run them all.
How to navigate a collection this size
Rather than scrolling the whole thing, it helps to think in terms of the job each subcategory does. Chandeliers and statement pendants are usually a room's primary fixture and focal point. Wall sconces and smaller pendants layer in secondary, supporting light. Table and floor lamps handle task lighting and can move around as your furniture layout changes. Cordless lamps and string lights solve for spots with no easy access to wiring.
Start with the room's main fixture
Every room benefits from deciding on its primary light source first — usually a chandelier or a pendant light centered over a table or the room's main furniture grouping. Once that's settled, everything else (sconces, lamps, accent lighting) gets layered in around it rather than competing with it.
Then layer in support
Our chandelier vs pendant vs wall sconce guide walks through when to use each, and we've written dedicated guides on wall sconce placement, cordless table lamps, and warm vs cool white light for getting the details right once the main fixture's in place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start if I'm lighting a room from scratch?
Pick the primary fixture first — typically a chandelier or pendant centered over the room's main table or furniture grouping — then layer in wall sconces and lamps for secondary, ambient light.
How many light sources does a typical room need?
Most well-lit rooms use at least two or three light sources at different heights — a primary overhead fixture, plus a mix of wall or table lighting — rather than relying on a single ceiling fixture alone.
What's the difference between the Wall Lights and Ceiling Lights sections?
Wall Lights covers fixtures mounted to a wall — sconces and wall lamps — while Ceiling Lights covers flush and semi-flush fixtures mounted directly to the ceiling, as distinct from hanging pendants or chandeliers.
Do I need an electrician for everything in this collection?
No — plug-in and cordless options exist across most subcategories specifically for spots where hardwiring isn't practical or you'd rather avoid an electrician.
