Two Ways: Lantern chandeliers
Sometimes when the inspiration is flagging, it's fun to play around and experiment with a space that may or may not exist. This "two ways" series is such a fun way to push myself in new directions, and this one is no exception.
Typically, we think of lanterns as a fairly traditional element. Check out the roundup, here. But a little bit of tradition can ground a modern, bohemian space. And the new lanterns coming out these days are so architectural, they're suited to a modern, sculptural interior. Check it out.
Neutral and Sculptural
Colorful and Bohemian
(Note: There would be 6 dining chairs in each room--it just looks crowded when you do that in a design board.)
I have to say, I would move right in to that second room. But working with clients with an aesthetic more modern than mine is giving me added appreciation of form and texture (as opposed to color and pattern.)
What do you think?
Or do you prefer your lanterns a bit more traditional?
