Chameleon Fine Lighting

When some people shop for lighting, they choose function over form. Of course, the function of the light is of utmost importance, but there is no reason why lighting can't be chic and fun too. Lighting is, at least for me, an important decorative element that sometimes gets overlooked.

Chameleon Fine Lighting, based in New York City, is a terrific source for both antique and reproduction lighting. If you're looking for inspiration for your home, you need to look at their website. There are so many wonderful sconces, chandeliers, and lamps that it is easy to get lost in their site! Although the main showroom in New York carries both the reproduction and antique lighting, there are showrooms throughout the country that carry their reproduction "Signature" line.
