At home, alabaster lighting works best as ambient and accent light: a pendant over the dining table, wall lights beside the bed, a sconce in the hallway, or a table lamp in the living room. The warm, soft glow creates a calm, comfortable atmosphere.
Living room
Use an alabaster pendant or chandelier as the centrepiece, and add a table or wall light at seating level. Keep the main light dimmable so the room can move from daytime to evening mood.
Bedroom
A pair of alabaster wall lights on either side of the bed saves bedside space and gives gentle, low-glare light. The soft glow helps the room feel restful.
Dining room
Hang a pendant about 30 inches (75 cm) above the tabletop as a common guideline, and adjust for ceiling height. Alabaster flatters food and faces because the light is warm and even.
Entryway and hallway
A pair of small wall lights adds a welcoming first impression without taking up floor space. Alabaster is a strong choice where you want a sense of care and quality at the door.
Tips for choosing for the home
- Pick a size in proportion to the room. Small rooms suit a single, smaller pendant.
- Layer light: ceiling, wall and table.
- Keep alabaster fixtures out of wet areas such as bathrooms with direct water splash.
