Statement lighting has become the jewelry of beautiful rooms. Here are my picks for lamps, sconces and chandeliers with a chinoiserie (Chinese-esque) flair that will be the perfect finishing touches for your home. One of my interior designer tricks is to put pink three-way bulbs in lamps to give the room, and the people in it, a lovely glow. — Beth from Chinoiserie Chic
