LIGHTING IN LAYERS
Wilmington-based interior designer Liza Nicole likes to create an experience with lighting, achieving it through layering and utilizing different fixtures throughout a room. She suggests marrying a ceiling fixture, wall sconces and table lamps that vary in style but still look cohesive. “Your eye dances around a space noticing other areas of your curated design because you’ve literally lit the path,” Nicole says.
