Yesterday, Design Professional at the Design & Decoration Building Kate Bergeron began sharing her love for good lighting. Here's more from Kate about some of her favorite light sources and the designs she loves most.

An added bonus to great lighting sources is that, aside from the beautiful fixture and coordinating lampshade, lighting can mellow the mood with a dimmer bulb when you want to create a relaxing ambiance, or illuminate the room when you're picking up the pace. When done right, good lighting can even mask challenges like not enough window light.
The D&D building is full of wonderful lighting sources. Among my favorites are Donghia, Jerry Pair, Ralph Lauren, Holland & Sherry, Holly Hunt and Lorin Marsh to name a few. I also love that some of the most interesting chandeliers or pendants can be found in your grandmother's garage or even at Good Will. I'm also not opposed to buying a sconce from Ikea and throwing some bronze paint over the base for a more luxe-vibe.
Though, as for the real deal, right now I'm totally into the funky designs of New York City-based artist Lindsay Adelman. I love her original spin on the lighting's Calder-like shapes, and swoon for the edgy punch in many of her chandeliers. Favorite interior designers of mine certainly deliver, too. I never tire of Kelly Wearstler's lighting choices. Whether it be the placement of a candle or that perfect rustic-gold table lamp, Kelly knows how to elevate a space to a whole new level of enlightenment!
