THE BEST LIGHT FIXTURES FROM VISUAL COMFORT

There are so many decisions to make during any renovation or decorating project and while finding the right lighting is often one of the final pieces of the puzzle to fall into place, I firmly believe it is one of the most important steps in creating the space you envision. Today’s post is a round-up of what I consider the best Visual Comfort light fixtures, from chandeliers and pendant lights to flush mounts and wall sconces!

I’ve sourced the majority of the permanent light fixtures in our home from Visual Comfort (several through open box deals on their site!) — they have a large variety of beautiful designs that come in plenty of additional finishes and are a beloved favorite of interior designers for good reason. They have designer collaborations with the likes of Aerin Lauder, Barbara Barry, Kate Spade, Kelly Wearstler, and Ralph Lauren, and I so appreciate that they feature images of their fixtures in real spaces from stylish customers and interior designers so you can get a feel for how a light fixture might look in your living space as well.

That said, they have so many options that it can be overwhelming to sift through their best sellers and new arrivals, so I wanted to put together an ultimate guide for anyone sourcing lighting for their next home project. Whether you’re looking for a dining room chandelier or a pendant light for above your kitchen island, I hope this round-up helps you find lighting you love!

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT HANGING SHADES

The first Visual Comfort lighting I sourced for our home was the pair of Ralph Lauren Windsor large hanging shades we have above our kitchen island. We have 10′ high ceilings in our kitchen and family room so I wanted to make a statement and these two hanging shades truly make the space!

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT PENDANT LIGHTS

Pendant lights are another great option for hanging above a kitchen island. I absolutely love the Hicks pendant light — you have probably seen these in many interior designers’ portfolios as they give a pretty nautical touch to any coastal living space.

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT CHANDELIERS

Visual Comfort has a large variety of chandeliers, so much so that I had trouble narrowing down my favorites here. We have the Visual Comfort Vivian large one-tier chandelier in our dining room, where I decided to go with the hand-rubbed antique brass finish since we have lots of polished nickel throughout the rest of our home. And I love the idea of their classic ring chandelier over a round table in a cozy breakfast nook!

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT CEILING LANTERNS

Ceiling lanterns can work in so many different living spaces, from a bathroom to a foyer to a bedroom. We have the Visual Comfort Country semi-flush bell jar lantern in our hall bathroom and I love the classic shape. I also love their (easier to clean!) open lanterns like this, this, this, this, and this.

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT FLUSH MOUNTS AND SEMI-FLUSH MOUNTS

Flush mount ceiling lights are the perfect option for standard 8′ ceilings and Visual Comfort lighting has the best selection of attractive flush mounts and semi flush mounts I’ve seen anywhere. We have the Visual Comfort Siena large flush mount in the small hallway that leads to our pantry and powder room. We just had the Visual Comfort Aerin Hampton chandelier (designed by tastemaker Aerin Lauder) installed without any visible chain so it looks more like this flush mount version and I love the white plaster finish and architectural interest it provides.

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT SINGLE SCONCES

Visual Comfort makes the most beautiful sconces that can be hung in powder rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, formal living spaces, and beyond. I chose the Visual Comfort Vendome single sconce for either side of our powder room mirror — I went with the polished nickel but as with most of their styles, there several additional finishes to choose from!

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT DOUBLE SCONCES

I love the look of a double sconce between two mirrors over a double sink vanity. Above is the Visual Comfort Hulton double sconce in our hall bathroom — I love that it feels like a piece of jewelry between the simple white mirrors!

THE BEST VISUAL COMFORT FLOOR LAMPS & TABLE LAMPS

We have brought the Ralph Lauren Anette floor lamp with us from one house to the next for six or seven years now and it is always the perfect finishing touch in every space. A few more of my favorite Visual Comfort floor lamps and table lamps below!
