Tiffany Style Lighting is a wonderful way to add unique lighting to your space:
Most Tiffany Lighting is classified by its bright and colorful glass in the form of a mosaic with complex patterns and a beautiful, luminous and very vibrant glow. The design of each Tiffany Style fixture is distinctive and seemingly very time consuming; each portion of glass is wrapped in copper (repeated for every piece of glass), placed inside a dome-shaped mold and then bonded together.
Today, Tiffany Lighting has expanded its color and textile palette, creating a much more modern and contemporary feel. Look for very colorful portions of glass in a geometric or natural pattern with dark bronze finishes like this Kichler Lighting Elegant’e Bronze Pendant. Although, the modern Tiffany Style fixtures tend to have a polished nickel or satin nickel finish.

Mission Style Lighting can be interpreted in various ways but either way you look at this specific style, one thing is true, it meshes well with both traditional and contemporary environments.
The bold, clean lines against the very natural colors add a beautiful touch to any space; Mission Lighting features even, angular lines in warm finishes like bronze or brown and the typical glass seen with these fixtures is amber-tinted or art glass. This style can combine with an array of different surroundings and adds a very timeless and tasteful look to your home.
This Hubbardton Forge Flush Mount is a nice example of Mission Style Lighting. Take a look at even more Mission Lighting right HERE at Littmanbros.com!

Art Deco Style Lighting is a wonderful design to add to your space. Here are a few pointers when looking for the perfect Art Deco Lighting:
Art Deco Style was developed in the 1920s and had a strong renewal in the 1960s incorporating Andy Warhol’s “Pop Art” style. Art Deco Lighting features very bold colors, sharp geometric shapes and jumbled forms; typically shiny materials are used with zig-zag or curvilinear lines and unique patterns. This style of lighting has bold and abstract designs, yet often has a simple outline that creates a modern and timeless appearance, which creates a very versatile style for your space.
These two pendants are a good interpretation of Art Deco Style Lighting; the red is the Kylin Chrome Pendant from Eurofase Lighting and the other is the Seattle Polished Chrome Pendant by Artcraft Lighting.

Here are a few pointers to help you add some Classic/Traditional Lighting to your home:
Traditional Style Lighting consists of a lasting design scheme that is often considered Early American or Victorian style. A very decorative and elegant approach to lighting, Classic or Traditional Style Lighting features striking and luxurious elements with heavy ornamentation and intricate detailing. Look for an exaggerated design, simple finishes (like bronze or gold), gentle curves and an overall classic sophistication with rich embellishments.
This 12 Light Chandelier by Dolan Designs is a good example of Classic/Traditional Style Lighting.

Add Contemporary Lighting to your home to complement your style:
Contemporary/Modern Lighting should incorporate a very clean and simple design with minimal use of accents or ornamentation. Contemporary designs represent a very subtle complexity of up to date trends; smooth lines, fresh geometric shapes with the most current and avant-garde materials are used. Since this style of lighting is so minimalist and modest it tends to be a wonderful choice of lighting for an array of settings.
This 8 Light Chandelier from Access Lighting is an excellent example of Contemporary/Modern Lighting.

If you’re that person who has a fusion of styles in your home then it’s often difficult to know what kind of Chandelier to add to your space. In a situation like this, a simple kind of lighting to focus your attention on would be the Transitional Lighting Style. It’s a very versatile type of lighting and one of the most common varieties – it blends a timeless, classic shape with conservative detailing.
This image of the Kichler Granby 5-Light Chandelier is a good model for what a transitional light fixture might look like – it is a very appealing look for a great room, foyer or large master bedroom. The lighting in your home is important and matching a large fixture like a chandelier to the design of the house is crucial. Transitional lighting unites traditional and contemporary and the end result is a warmer, more inviting space.
