Nest by Tamara Lighting Roundup: Our Top Nine Lights To Add Great Style To Your Home!

We loved the lighting 
showcased at Highpoint this October!
Fall Market at Highpoint was jam-packed with new design, and the lighting options were varied and innovative. Today, take a look at our top 9 choices.  We chose each one of these because by adding these beauties to a room, it has the potential to completely transform.  


1. We are gushing over Aerin's new lighting spotted at Highpoint at Visual Comfort.   The Lynn sconces are brass and crystal and oh, so unusual, and very glamorous.
2. We are smitten with Niermann Week's new lighting line, a collaboration with Visual Comfort.  Check out this show stopper, a crystal and brass chandelier channeling feathers.


3.  Ralph Lauren offered up many wonderful lighting options this Market.  It was hard to narrow it down to just one but the Crosby flush mount light caught our eye and although a take on a classic it offers something slightly different.  
4.  The unusual shape and layered, textural nature of the Okey Dokey chandelier at Cyan lighting made it top our list.  It offers a lot of sparkle, and it is also available in a smokey amber finish. 
5. This 8 light polished Nickel Sylvan Light is one of our favorites from Libby Langdon's new collection with Crystorama.  The line can be used in both a modern and traditional setting, and it has a masculine and feminine side.  

Libby told us, 
"I find that men are getting much more involved with the design process; the angular frame of the Sylvan strikes a masculine note while the graceful arms are quite feminine - something for everyone!" 
6. The Lana Light over at Arteriors is stunning - It is very unusual and interesting, and a pair would certainly add texture and sophistication to an entryway, home office or sitting room.  The handmade ceramic spikes are reminiscent of sea creatures.  
7. Fine Art Lamps showed lots of options for innovative lighting, and this Lucite, rounded chandelier is divine.
8. Noir's Lex light
has a matte black finish and a sputnik shape. 
Additionally, it holds an
industrial, hip vibe - we love it.
 9. Made Good's The Russel continues the Faux Bois trend and it is offered in silver, gold or white.  Stop back soon for more about Made Goods, and they offered up some great pieces at Highpoint this Fall.  
Happy Nesting 
XO Tamara
