Statement lighting can always finish off and make a space (and is useful to boot). We often tell people to spend money on one big statement item and then the rest can be styled around it, and still give the wow factor - there is no need to spend big on every item of the interior. For us, oversized lighting gives that immediate impact! Consider the style of the space and the feeling that you want to create with the light fitting. Be brave and oversize!
Every room needs layers and levels of lighting and a statement piece is only one element of the lighting scheme. In different spaces, different types of lighting is important. In a kitchen, task lighting is key. In a dining room, low level mood lighting is more important, for example. Look out for striking light fittings and buy them when you see them!
