Lighting is essential when it comes to shaping the mood of your design and there are also a few elements to keep in mind when matching your lighting with your decor style. To create ambience, relaxation and intimacy in your design, focus on including some low-level lighting options such as tea lights or pillar Candles for a warm glow. For a touch of luxury, focus on a embellished statement Candle with a beautiful design such as Cire Trudon Candles. To create an elegant, sophisticated look, include a Slender Nickel or Pewter Decorative Lamp Base with a neutral linen shade. If you have limited space, try a mounted Wall Sconce or place the bar cart under a Crystal Chandelier and watch the bar cart come to life. 

Lustre is often what makes a design truly shine... adding a subtle bit of glam through a reflective mirror, shimmer or pewter can bring a sense of glamour and charm that would otherwise be missed. Lustre and lighting often work in sync, as lustre is the state or quality of shining by reflecting light. This could be by pairing a tea light in a silver or gold candleholder, placing decorative objects or candles on top of a reflective mirrored surface, or adding in decorative items that showcase as sheen, gloss or radiance such as crystal. 

Green, Living & Lush... Plants, Foliage and Flowers can simultaneously soften and elevate a space. Create a fresh, tropical look with some Palm Leaves, a more refined look with White Orchids or Roses, an Industrial look with a Fiddle Leaf Fig placed to the side of the Bar Cart and bring a pop of colour with some lemons, limes or oranges that can also serve as a garnish. 

The key when bringing all the elements together is to not over do it, and one way to do this is to select 1-3 of your most loved pieces to have on display. Think of a decorative object, luxury candle, picture frame, sentimental object or most-loved book. Adding something loved, creates a lived-in feel & ensures that your home reflects what you value most. 

Layering creates interest, be it layering complimentary or contrasting textures, colours, heights, materials, shapes and sizes. Layering different items draws the eye in and allows you to get creative when thinking of some of the bar cart accessories you would like to add, experiment with and style together. Two simple ways to layer is by stacking books to create height or by combining high and low elements next to each other, such as pairing a Tall Vase, Ginger Jar or Lamp next to Tumbler Whisky Glasses, Candles or Bar Tools.
