Styling Tip: Layer Lighting for a More Expensive Look

One overhead light rarely makes a room feel warm. For a more refined look, use lighting at different heights: a table lamp, a wall sconce, candlelight, and soft ambient light from another room.

Layered lighting makes textures look richer, softens shadows, and helps everyday spaces feel more intimate. It is one of the simplest ways to make a home feel high-end without changing the furniture.

Did you know? Designers often recommend at least three sources of light in a room: ambient, task, and accent lighting.

Boutique takeaway: Add a sculptural lamp or candleholder where you want the eye to pause.
