Summer is one of the best times to bring out patriotic tones of red, white and blue in your interiors. Between Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day holidays there is lots of entertaining at home during those Summer months.
While you may think that patriotic decor has to be limited to textiles and Americana decor, think again! Wall lights in festive colors, metallic finishes and fun patterned shades can turn your home into a festive destination for all of your entertaining this season.
Take a look at a few ways to bring patriotic wall lighting into your this summer.
Tips For Using Color
Transform your interiors with gorgeous red influences:
Red is one of those colors that grabs attention instantly and doesn’t let go! When paired with white, blue, and clever neutrals, there's no stopping the creativity of wall lighting you can have. Blown glass and red inspired wall sconces are a great way to add color to your room without having to change out your entire decor.
Remember, wall lighting doesn’t have to be restricted to vertical walls, how about adding ambient lighting like this kitchen ceiling application from Isabel Bettie. This clever use of red light brings the artwork, cabinetry, and finishes together beautifully.
Festive Lighting Calls For Custom Touches:
Let’s face it, July 4th is all about celebrating with family, friends and of course fireworks! Lamps Plus has a wonderful selection of shades that you can customize with. Whether it’s a funky pattern that expresses your style or color combinations that only you could think of.
