Black Lighting Fixtures Have Bright Prospects
Explore the darkest reaches of the lighting world — black lights have endless potential for bringing out the dramatic side of rooms

Light fixtures of all types are the perfect place to bring in small doses of black for a big effect. They act as makeup (eyeliner, if you will) for a room, defining the space and highlighting key features.
Installing a black pendant or painting an existing wall sconce black may be just the pick-me-up a tired room needs. Check out these interiors for inspiration.
