Lighting Defines Your Sense of Style

Traditional décor developed in Western culture from a hodgepodge of influences between the 1600s and 1800s in Europe and America. Manor homes of England, American plantations and country estates throughout Europe heavily influenced traditional design concepts with their reliance on ornate details, contrasting straight lines, iron and brass accents and hand-painted wood. This showy old-world style incorporated Neoclassical, Colonial and French Country design ideals. Transitional lighting softens the ornate details of traditional decorating styles and focuses on one or two key design features:

• Transitional chandeliers integrate form and function with clean lines, easy-to-clean surfaces and special accents that you can choose.

• Minimalist lighting styles focus attention on your cherished design features with subtle accents that reinforce your concept.

• Choosing a mix of floor lamps, wall lighting, vanity lights, ceiling fixtures, chandeliers and pendants provides focused lighting where and when you need it without compromising your design vision.

• Transitional designs are among the most versatile styles for complementing multiple decorating styles in different areas of a home or business.

• Choose from warm glass accents, multiple earth-tone finishes, bronze accents, lighting diffusers and traditional geometric lines without the heavy ornamentation and fussiness of traditional designs.

Transitional Outdoor Lighting Expands Your Living Space

Few decorating trends have captured the public’s imagination in recent years as dramatically as turning outdoor areas into extensions of practical living space. You can use Capitol’s exhaustive selection of lamps, technologies and manufacturers to create the illusion that outdoor space is a part of your home–an extension of your living room, den, kitchen or entertaining area. Landscape lighting enhances your grounds and increases safety without detracting from nature. You can choose from pier lamps, security lighting, post lamps, outdoor ceiling lights, LED lights and wall lighting in transitional designs. Most transitional lighting incorporates earth tones, so it’s one of the best choices for outdoor decorating. In all lighting choices, 1800Lighting carries a full line of mounting hardware in complementary designs and finishes.
