Visual Comfort

“One of the first fixtures I fell in love with was the Diego Bird Lantern. I remember thinking it felt less like lighting and more like a beautiful piece of architecture. That really shaped the way I think about lighting today—not just as something functional, but as one of the most important design elements in a room,” shares , recalling the first Visual Comfort piece that caught her eye.

“Fun fact, I’ve actually had this fixture in every home since because I love it so much. Now I have two petite Diego Lanterns in my mudroom.”

"Choose your lighting much earlier than you think you need to. Lighting isn't something to figure out at the end of a renovation—it should be part of the planning process from the very beginning. It's one of the few design decisions that's much easier to get right upfront than to change later."

Designed by , the ’s primary suite is a study in gold and green. The jewel-box tones and luminous gold ceiling are inspired by early 20th-century Czech and Viennese Modernism, creating a dramatic backdrop for Julie Neill’s Talia Semi-Flush Mount.

It’s “the perfect bridge” to connect the room’s artistic influences, explains Amorphous Studio principal Ronnie Gor. “I didn’t want a chandelier that dominated the room simply for its size or ornamentation. Instead, I wanted a fixture that would illuminate and celebrate the gold ceiling, allowing the richness of the wall covering and architectural surfaces to become a part of the experience.”

"I always joke that at one point my husband looked around and said, 'I think we have too many antiques,' and to me that was the best compliment. I never want our home to feel like everything was purchased in one weekend—I want it to feel warm, personal, and as though each piece has been thoughtfully discovered over time."
