Lighting can transform a space.  Not just the illumination which designer Allegra Hicks recently stated in an interview “ is key to feeling well in a room”  but the fixture itself. 

Take the “beehive” pendant for instance.  It’s lightness and whimsy makes a statement in any space whether a hallway, bedroom or bathroom.   It’s particularly difficult to find pretty yet simple fixtures for hallways where you  may need two or three.   There are all kinds of, what we in the design biz call by it’s technical term,  “boob” lighting – you know the ones I mean, right?   Not very attractive.

Enjoy these pretty photos from Phoebe Howard’s portfolio.  I have written about her work previously here.

I love both the clear glass and white glass pendants which come in different sizes.  Aren’t they just the cutest things?
