Interior designers often enter a home armed with a veritable arsenal of creativity and subcontracted resources. In many cases, the secondary services a decorator brings in under his or her invoice adds a certain specialized expertise to robust décor. Professional lighting equipment and lighting design services are crucial to this mix. With the right levels of light, both glare and shadow are dispelled, and the texture and color of artwork springs to light.

Phantom Lighting Representatives, located throughout North America, Central America, and South America, are available to help the interior designer utilize some of the world's most unique and aesthetically superb lighting equipment on the market.

If you are currently working with an interior decorator or interior design firm, we recommend you point them in our direction if they encounter any of the following scenarios relative to fine art and display lighting systems. While a great many interior designers are already working with Phantom Lighting products, many are still discovering us for the first time.

Your interior designer will most likely recommend new artwork as part of his or her overall plan for creating a new look within your home.

Private art collections can transform an interior into a realm of sophistication with very little physical change to the room. The trick is to find equipment from a lighting fixture manufacturer that will maximize the impact of your new collection without damaging the artwork itself or interfering with general room lighting. Any interior designer will tell you that the two biggest aesthetic obstacles to overcome when lighting art are shadows and glare. Any curator or experienced collector will also add that the greatest technological threat to art lighting is ultraviolet radiation and infrared heat-both of which can literally destroy priceless works of creativity and many hours of hard work on the part of your designers.

Retail grade art lights are never recommended because of this. Instead, specialized equipment is needed to maximize the presentation of your pieces and prolong the life of the pieces themselves. Phantom Contour Projectors offer your interior design specialist(s) a sophisticated, low profile light source that will both protect and magnify the handwork of its specialists. Consisting of a low profile fixture that hugs the ceiling unobtrusively out of the viewer's line of site, the Contour picture lights directs a focused beam of light from a halogen lamp whose luminance has been filtered and stripped of UV an IR radiation. This light remains hidden from view until it strikes the object to which it is directed, causing it to glow with an aura of soft, ambient light.

You interior designer can install one or more Contour Projector models (we have six different lines to choose from) to illuminate oils, acrylics, lithographs, prints, professional photography, and 3-dimensional artwork and statuary.

Your interior designer may also install one or more displays in your home.

These display cases can contain anything from antiques to curious to collectibles, and many homes feature highly ornate pieces of furniture in their own right, regardless of contents. Puck lights and standard linear strip lights often do not work well in these cases because they are too difficult to conceal. They are also hard to control, and will often unevenly distribute illumination, creative unattractive combinations of light and shadows in the process.

If your interior designer is facing such a challenge, he or she can contact our Houston headquarters and speak with one of our linear display lighting experts about custom lighting strips.

Phantom LED strip lights are made with a patented glare shielding that prevents excessive spill light into surrounding shelving and cabinets. Festoon lamps that house incandescent, xenon, or led lamps create an ambient glow within displays that enshrouds contents in a radiant luminance. Wine bottles in racks can be silhouetted from behind with our 2800K Festoon lamps that mimic the lighting qualities of white incandescent. Under cabinet lighting can be installed whose luminance matches the color scheme of the kitchen, and Phantom cove lights can be bent to fit any radius or serpentine surface. In private libraries, the shelving within the book cases looks like is producing the light, when in reality it is coming from hidden Phantom strips Because a Phantom linear low voltage lighting strip is custom fitted to a specific set of dimensions in a shelf, case, valance, or cove, many areas in your home where your interior designer will be working can be showcased magnificently with our linear strips. Their inherently smaller design, combined with our custom manufacturing process and LED lamps, make Phantom display, cabinet, and cove lighting strips virtually undetectable to the naked eye.

The first rule for buying art is to love it.  The second rule is to be able to pay for it without taking out a bank loan.  And, rule #3?  Feel good about what you paid for it.

So, how do you know that a piece of art is worth the asking price?  If you love it, and can afford it, should you buy it?

We asked over one-hundred interior design professionals for some help.  We asked them to review pieces of art and tell us what they think about the quality of the work and the asking price.  Each designer chose five pieces of art to review from over 4000 original and limited edition artworks created by independent, fine artists whose work is available at www.DiscoveredArtists.com.

Designers were asked to comment on how they might use the art in an interior room design, and were asked to only review artworks that they felt were worth the asking price.  In other words, would you recommend that your client buy this piece of art at that price. Here's what they said:

Terry Symington is principal designer and owner of T. Symington & Co. Interiors in Brenham, Houston, and Austin Texas.  She is a big fan of using art in her interior designs and suggests that "For rooms lacking a proper focal point, an oversized painting makes a great statement!"

Ms. Symington reviewed Fleurs Rondes #19, a 12" x 18" contemporary collage by Canadian born artist Lisa Carney.  The artwork is a mixed media original on panel priced at $115.  Lisa Carney is a formally trained, emerging, full time artist who is represented by galleries.  She creates abstract, modern, and fine art using multi-media methods and materials.  Her work is especially suited for decorative interior design.

Symington's review of Fleurs Rondes 19: "I would love to see a grouping of several of Ms.Carney's collages in an interior to make a really big statement.  Her combinations of materials, textures and colors are very pleasing ... the the pricing makes it very affordable!"

Elaine Buderer, principal designer for Restoration Interior Design, LLC in Columbia, Maryland writes, "Good art brings some life into a space," and adds that she approaches design by, "Using color, texture, furniture, art and the existing elements of a home."

Ms Buderer reviewed Drayton Hall #20 a 21" x 25" limited edition by fine art photographer John Michiels.  The artwork is an edition of 40 that is signed and numbered by the artist, matted and framed with glass, and sells for $525.

John Michiels' primary style is fine art, his signature style is southern gothic.  He is a mature, juried artist who is represented by galleries.  Michiels personally completes every step of the printmaking process in his studio in his Charleston South Carolina studio currently offering prints in editions of 45 or less.

Interior Designer Elaine Buderer's review of Drayton Hall #20:  "This is a spiritual piece.  It hints of serenity (provided by the classic balance) with a vision of hope beyond.  It would be a soothing vista in a quiet room."

Nicky Quartermaine Scott is owner and principal designer for Quartermaine Interiors in Plainfield, Illinois.  Her advice to art buyers in general is "If you’re stuck choosing a color scheme for your home, look to art for your inspiration. Select a piece that you truly love, and start from there. Art will reveal some wonderful colors that you can use as a foundation for your project."

Ms. Scott reviewed Italian artist Mauro Celotti's large, landscape titled Follow the Clouds.  It is a 50" x 40" original acrylic on gallery wrap canvas priced at $3600. Celotti is a mature, professional artist, formally trained and juried, who paints abstract, modern, surreal and figurative subjects.

Scott's review of Follow the Clouds: "This piece is reminiscent of Van Gogh, but with a twist.  I love the color combination of orange, grey and white.  It has a masculine quality to it, with diagonal line and strong movement, but the soft, undulating earth reflects back nicely to Mother Nature herself."

So, going back to the rules for buying art, if you need a second opinion you certainly should get one.  But, it seems that the driving force behind each of these professional reviews is how much they liked the artwork and how they might use it in a room.  So, if you love it, and can afford it, it deserves a place on your wall.

In prosperous economic times, New York residential interior design is a highly profitable and exciting area of work for interior designers. Interior design is a luxury expense that usually only the affluent can afford. Thus, designers are busy in a good economy. If the economy is in a down turn then many interior designers may find it difficult to keep busy. Still, residential interior design is an excellent field for the aspiring designer to forge a career in.

If you are thinking of a career in residential interior design in New York, you should look for a program that provides a foundation in textiles, architecture, life sciences and business. Residential interior design involves a large variety of design knowledge. The designer must be able to work with all kinds of people in order to deal with clients and various contractors hired to do the actual physical work. The designer must be able to provide the client with a drawing or computer printout of the finished job to give the client an exact idea of what the finished product will look like. The interior designer must be knowledgeable in all aspects of designing living spaces.

The designer involved with New York residential interior design needs to be financially aware of all expenses and he or she must have the ability to stay on or under budget for the client. Residential interior design requires plenty of patience on the part of the interior designer as things can and do go wrong on many jobs.

A New York residential interior designer when designing a room must consider what the room is used for and who will be using the room. This is especially important if children are going to be using the room or not. You do not want to have some beautiful carpet or furniture ruined because of young children playing in that room. Living rooms can be more colorful and vibrant than bedrooms, since a bedroom is where people relax and you cannot relax if your walls are bright orange! When designing a room the designer must keep in mind that the client needs the ability to have easy and unobstructed movement throughout the room.

The designer must pay attention to the needs and wants of their clients. Practice in your own home or the home of friends or relatives who are receptive to your ideas. Create a plan for each room and provide drawings with accurate measurements to properly convey your ideas to your 'practice' clients.

New York residential interior design students or design students from any large urban area should attempt to secure an intern position with a reputable design firm in order to gain as much experience in different areas of design as possible.
