Decorative Lighting

A couple of times a year, I will journey outside of Yale and present the latest trends in the lighting and appliance industry. Over the last few years, the trends have been more pronounced. Consumers have moved to a great room, rather than a formal dining room and living room.

This change has affected our industry certainly in appliances with more cooktops, wall ovens, wine coolers and icemakers. It has dramatically changed lighting and how we light a much larger multi-purpose space.

We now have more recessed(or track) and undercounter lighting. It has also altered the type of light fixture. Instead of a chandelier over the table, we have pendants over an island....

If you walk into Yale, this is what you see








Pendants....But remember for islands, peninsulas and great rooms a pendant is the adaptation for this new style
