Hues of blue fuse with green tones, morphing into one of the most sought-after colors of the season: Teal. Pantone notes that the shades of green so popular earlier this year are evolving into these deeper, luxurious shades of teal, embracing a soft, versatile look for Fall.

A sophisticated and refined addition to any room, teal embodies elements of simplicity and discriminating taste. At the same time, teal offers a vibrant pop of color that can enhance an otherwise lackluster neutral-based space.

Make Your Home Stand Out – Winter

Interior Design – Lighting Tips

Interior design expert Laurie Smith shows you how the decorative influence of a single table table lamp can add drama and complement a room’s color scheme. She also points outs how sconces and pendants can increase warm, ambient lighting in your home.

 

How can I determine the correct amount of xenon bulbs to place under a wall cabinet?
                                                         – Meghan F.

A good rule of thumb for calculating undercabinet lighting for xenon bulbs is to use approximately 54 watts per 6 square feet of cabinet or counter surface. For example, a surface that is 10 feet long and two feet deep equals 20 square feet. Divide 20 by 6, which gives you 3.33 (round down to 3). Therefore, you would need 3 xenon bulbs at 54 watts each.

 

New Arrivals – Angersteins Design Showroom

Inspired by the shape of a birdcage, this iron-and-wood chandelier boasts ten lights to illuminate the room, and enough style to have all your guests raising a glass skyward at your dining table.

The Eva Side Table’s cubed shape is a great complement to the round Cyrano Coffee Table. This functional piece has a removable top that can be removed for storage and features small inlaid recycled elm wood planks. Simple form, but full of character…the Eva Side Table is a great value.

Make an Artistic Statement with Light

Lighting is possibly the most powerful tool you have when it comes to interior design. Why invest in beautiful furniture, rugs, paintings and accessories if you are living in the dark? When looking for a light fixture, think of yourself as a curator looking for a perfect piece of art.

Like art, a fabulous fixture can make a strong design statement as well as provide illumination for your space. Don’t be afraid to add interest by using a modern fixture in a traditionally decorated room or vice versa. Find one special piece and build your room around it.

Located in a Newark corporate center, the Intech office is a classic case of a book that can’t be judged by its cover.
While the exterior exudes a clean, albeit generic look, this office has a communal space & kitchen that are anything but ordinary!

INSIDE RETREAT: Create a Place to Relax and Stay a While

Angersteins Lighting and Design Center

Once your company comes inside, it’s time to shine. Little touches can inspire a cheery mood and make guests feel comfortable and merry. Examine all aspects of illuminating the room where guests will be spending time. Carefully placed lights, candles and festive décor can guide guests to gathering spots throughout your home. Here are some additional tips for making your guests feel at home:

  • Dim recessed lighting, and adjust accent and cove lighting to create highlights and drama.
  • Focus attention on a tree and other holiday decorations with portable spotlights, which can usually accommodate a table top dimmer.
  • Create pretty silhouettes by placing a spotlight beneath a Christmas tree so that it shines up through the branches.
  • Switch out a few lampshades. Replacing a neutral lampshade with one that is red or gold will soften the light and create a holiday atmosphere.
  • Fill a corner with a basket of children’s holiday books.
  • Create an elegant ambiance in the powder room by adding some simple touches, such as a portable lamp with a colored shade, bright flower arrangement, holiday towels or scented candles.

Take an overall look at your home, and visualize it as a guest. Notice what stands out and what areas need additional attention. Your guests will surely appreciate the extra effort.
