Home Lighting 

Lighting is an essential component to a successful design palate. When designing your barndominium, lighting can be used as a design focal point.

I believe if thoughtfully placed, lighting will transform interior rooms and exterior spaces of your barndominium home. I like to think of lighting as a starting point for design, rather than being left until a last thought.

Our Kichler Pier 1 Outdoor Wall Light is the perfect mix of vintage industrial, which blends well with our design of our barndo.

Industrial Lighting 

What is Industrial?

“Industrial has been transforming over the past few years into a more detailed and refined, aesthetic characterized by more sophisticated finishes. With fine detailed and polished surfaces that owe as much to fine furniture and high end jewelry as they do factories and industry” 
– Greg Martin, Kichler Lighting Creative Director

What Components Make Up Industrial Lighting?

Traditionally, these lights are made of dark-toned steel and wood that are unfinished or distressed. Features can  include clean lines with exposed bulbs, metal and wire cages mixes old world charm.

How to Mix Finishes, Materials and Lighting

By incorporating different finishes and textures, you can create a warmth and cozy feel to your home. Styles do not need to be matchy in order to open the doors of design. Simply by adding just the right amount of finishes and textures, you can successfully mix modern farmhouse with rustic and refined lighting.

Take for example our master bedroom lighting of choice. We choose to go with Kichler’s Cavelli Ceiling Fan in black matte for an industrial look.

In barndominium design, most often you’ll see the living space, dining area and kitchen connected. It’s important in this type of floor plan to be consistent across all rooms. This doesn’t mean all finishes or styles have to match, it just means the overall flow of all three rooms should flow well together.

So yes, you can choose black matte, gold matte and glass finishes together! Want to go bold with your ceiling lighting? You can with larger spaces, as they can take more daring pieces but don’t shy away from unconventional lighting in smaller spaces!

Kichler’s Gimbal Direct to Ceiling lighting was our choice for our living room. The LED Downlight is designed to provide a 360-degree adjustable light source with a 30-degree tilt, for directional lighting to highlight architecture, walls and artwork. Easy snap-in clips for quick and easy installation!!
