Customers often come in looking for a way to update their interior design or upgrade from the builder-grade lighting in their new homes. “The easiest way to update your home quickly is changing out your light fixtures, from lights in the entryway to sconces in your bathroom,updating those can give a room a fresh look,”Katelynn said.“Change your lighting fixtures and your rug,leave the furniture the same,and people will think you’ve changed everything.” It took some work to put together the lighting gallery,which sits in one of the Mister Robert showrooms.First,the structures for the lighting fixtures had to be constructed,andVisual Comfort came in to check out and approve the space,as there are a limited number of certified dealers. There are fixtures fromVisual Comfort throughout the store as well. “We try to rotate our fixtures quite a bit: whatever is selling,whatever is in style,” Katelynn said.“There are new fixtures every sixth months.Overall,we have 60 lights fromVisual Comfort on the floor.” Right now,popular pieces include those with gold finishes,which is a recent change, and fixtures that include natural elements like quartz.Katelynn has designers she’s a fan of,rather than pieces. “Kate Spade is one of the designers in the new lighting line,and her stuff is more girly,with boys and dots on it;just whimsical kinds of pieces,”she said.“Kelly Wearstler’s pieces are out there.They’re all over the place,so unusual,and people are caught up by them.” Photoscourtesyof MisterRobertFineFurniture&Design. 34
