I’m a lighting and automation designer in Australia. So many interior designers and architects forget about the importance of lighting and how it can change your whole home. This was a great video and thanks for highlighting what I think is one of the most important parts of what makes a house a home xx

Hello, I can provide a lighting scheme

What I love about you is your encouragement to not necessarily spend tons on money on brand name decor, but to incorporate things we love, we are passionate about, and are sentimental about or that tell our story. You are so empowering! I feel like if I follow those thoughts I can't go wrong! (unless I hang my curtains/drapery panels too low or match my headboard, nightstands, dresser, & armoir.) :) :) :)

Omg! Lighting is so important to every room. It makes look there best or worst. I love the Philips hue light bulbs. Working with people who don't want to install dimmers, I always suggest the Philips hue lights. They have amazing features so you don't walk into a dark home because they turn on when you approach your door or before sometimes. Perfect for movie watching, you can have them on a motion sensor so they are low and brighten when you enter a room. great for older people who need a little light. This video has me thinking about all the ways light affects you.

Thank YOU Julie for teaching us combining Feng Shui in this modern era. It's time to replace the dining room wall canvas picture, this wall is also facing the window across living room. I've learned from your other episodes that it's a great idea to place a mirror on this wall that attract the natural scenery from that window. But I wonder can I put a crystal chandelier with gold trim that may reflect from the mirror? I'm supposed to use the mirror to absorb the best scenery from that window, but having a crystal chandelier above dining table, would it reflect away what I intended to absorb?

Your awesomeness thanks

Awesome channel. Love the videos and all the information. I’m trying to figure out a new ceiling light for my office/library in my new home.

I love that brass/copper color finish for fixtures. Wasn’t sure if I could/should hang the lighting a bit or if it should be a flush so as not to block the book shelves at the top? Any suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your advice! You made me feel so much better about a recent purchase for my foyer lighting. I splurged, but I know that i will love it! It hasn't arrived yet, so I am having a bit of anxiety regarding if I chose the right size or not. I think that it will be okay though. My ceiling is 23ft from floor, rounded reverse staircase with 2nd story window. Staircase walls roughly 18ft diameter, but it opens to a platform at the top, so it's not all completely walled-in.. The lighting fixture is a 42" diameter sphere made of crystals (handmade Etsy). It's so pretty and sparkly! i really wanted a light and airy feel for my statement piece and overall vibe for the house. I am guessing that I should center it to the upstairs window, right?

Also, are there any rules on how long it should be as well since you only mentioned diameter?

Hi Tara, I custom made that massive chandelier overseas. It’s 72” in diameter for 21’ ceiling height. It’s an open space so it could handle that size. No rules on island/ dining table lighting, I think as long as they coordinate- whether style or finish, you’re all good. And lastly no minimum size of island for pendant, just scale it proportionately and you should be fine 👍🏻 Thank you for watching!

Hi Julie! I’ve been watching a lot of tour videos lately and I want to thank you for giving us so many great tips. I just have a question on the dining light above the dining table. I think I watched another video of yours that said that the light should fill up the area above your dining table. So if we had a long rectangular table, I believe you had mentioned we can use 2 - 3 pendant lights above it. In this video, you only mention to use the 2 - 3 pendant lights above a kitchen island. Can you please help to clarify whether we should have two or three lights above a long dining table as well?

I’ve been getting this comment a lot Roxii! I had no idea it would be such a hot topic. I like warm lighting since my style is more eclectic/ new traditional. I love warm candlelight, I design with warm woods and lots of gold/brass elements so soft white LED (with warm undertones) work well for my space. For more modern aesthetics that lean towards cool colors (blues/ grays/ silvers) I like daylight. It’s crisp and clean and works well with the modern aesthetic. Just commit to one, don’t mix, and it will turn out beautifully!

Hello Juie, Please tell me if an 8' kitchen ceiling should have pendants? I will have a moveable cart island in the middle, either 12" or 18" wide. Since my kitchen is only 11" 7" wide I could not have a bigger island. Thank you for all your help through your videos.

Hi Patti, thank you for watching! It’s not necessary with ceilings that low. If the cart was stationary, you may install pendants, but seeing as how you will be moving them at your will- people will bump into the fixtures. Try semi-flush mounts. They give the illusion of pendants, but still hung up pretty close to the ceiling. Hope that helps!

If I want to hang a fixture in the center of the room - above the table, it would hang from a vaulted ceiling, since the ceiling reaches the tallest point off center - I’m hoping I am explaining myself correctly... does it make sense for a chandelier to hang off of a vaulted ceiling (where it is still tilted)?

Yes, center the fixture above the table to define the space below it. Doesn’t matter if it’s hanging from a vaulted portion or the highest beam. The dining room below will dictate where that fixture goes.

Sure, if you need the extra lighting and don’t walk under it 👍🏻

I love ceiling fans for my living room. Tall 20 foot ceiling. Do u have any recommendations?

💎🌹Hi Julie, I'm a new subscriber and LOVE 🏅your insightful, interesting and user-friendly content, so 😊 I found you.

THANK YOU very much...back to my bingeing your past videos 📹 💓💓💯‼️ I need help souring a light fixture for my medium sized bedroom and dining room (rectangle table seats 6pp) and living room (medium and large size) in a price range under $500.00 for 2020 modern/high glam high-end looking fixtures from reputable companies.

Julie how would you recommend sizing light fixtures for a vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams? Should the height I use to scale the fixture be the tallest point?

@JulieKhuu

Use the height where the fixture would be located. If in the center of the room, use that height. Not the highest point nor lowest point.

Hello! Loved the video. I have a two story great room with lots of natural light but not sure which type of chandelier to go for. The raindrop chandeliers look nice but not sure if that might be too much..

Hi Julie! I'm remodeling my kitchen. I'm trying to find 2 pendant fixtures to go above my island, but we have an antique chandelier from my grandmother right next to the kitchen in our dining room. Do you have any tips for making it cohesive?

Hi Julie, addicted to your channel. My ceilings in the master bedroom and formal living room are partially vaulted the highest point is at 22ft and the lowest is at 9 ft. Another issue are the exposed beams and boards(which is actually the make up of my roof). I love the the style but because of the style of my ceiling roof, it’s very difficult to find appropriate lighting. Some people mentioned drywall then have electrical wires installed. That would take away from the beauty of the wood work.

I have the same ceiling and I simply had my carpenter conceal the electrical work under a beam that we affixed to the structural beam. Looks completely custom and a part of the original design. Check out my kitchen to see how I achieved this look (under home tour playlist) 👍🏻

Hi Julie I am a fan of yours. I would like to ask you about my square cove ceiling in my dining/kitchen(25meters small diningroom/kitchen). Is it necessary to put my hanging rectangular shaped ceiling light in the middle?

Not necessary, but would be a beautiful feature to highlight the architectural cove 👍🏻
