Lighting can quickly make or break a room, so when shopping for HGTV Dream Home 2016, he focused on the ceiling fixtures, table lamps and floor lamps, making sure each room had an original mix of shapes, finishes, textures and design styles. 

“When given my first choice, I'm drawn to classic industrial fixtures since I feel they fit with any style interior and also mix well with a wide variety of furnishings and artwork,” says Brian.

For a traditional approach to a glamorous or formal style room, an iron and crystal chandelier is classic and timeless just like black and white.

Finding the perfect size fixture to anchor a large room can be daunting, however grouping the same or slightly similar fixtures together can solve this issue as long as the scale of each fixture is proportionate to the other.
