National Home Show
We were honoured to be selected as the lighting supplier to the Home Show's Dream Home. Working with designer Lynelle Madison, we were asked to
design and supply the lighting for the home.

THE DESIGN

The 2003 Dream Home was the main attraction of the National Home Show.  The house was over 4,000 square foot and incredibly was built in just 8 1/2 days by Baywood Homes as a free standing structure inside the Home Show!

Interior designer Lynelle Madison, of Design InVision (as well as a regular designer on The Decorating Challenge), set the overall vision of the home, designing it for comfort, convenience and luxury.  Lynelle came to us to find the right products to complete the harmony of design she was striving for. With her we put together a magnificent collection of products for every room in the home and then we had just two days to pull it all together! Pictures of some of those rooms are set out below.

THE COURTYARD

Lynelle's design revolves around four natural elements: earth, fire, water and air. All of these elements were found in the Courtyard and we provided 'the fire' with our new 'Flame' wall sconce.  The sconce has the impression of being a burning torch with a light and fan below a special piece of fabric.

The Flame sconce is available in three finishes (black, satin nickel and antique brass) and in two different styles.  Similar floor lamps are also available.

THE KITCHEN

A truly gorgeous kitchen was built for the Dream Home.  The unique 'coffee shop' area gives a whole new meaning to a 'kitchen table!'

The fixture we used for over the island was an oval shaped six light forged wrought iron-look and fitted with optional shades.  This fixture is part of our 'Devonshire' family of with a wide range of sizes and styles of similar products (including the fixture we used in the "Lanai Room" - see photo below).

Over each of the three coffee-bar tables, we suspended a mini halgoen pendant from a flexible track-rail system that we shaped on site.  This product is a 'lighting system' as it is comprised of a huge range of components which you combine to create a customized and unique product.

THE FOYER

We found some old world charm for the 'rotunda' with a magnificent large lantern with seeded glass panels.  This fixture is available in three sizes (this is the largest) and two finishes.

THE BEDROOMS

The bedroom design was soft and comfortable.  With the high ceilings we were able to use a beautful new fixture from Robert Abbey - a white glass urn with a traditional filigree trim.

The master ensuite was truly spectacular and with all of the stone and earth tones to it, Lynelle selected the perfect match in a chandelier - a Schonbek Rock Crystal five light fixture that was suspended over the claw bathtub.
