I love, love, love the laser-cut Parasoleil panels. To make this wall art, the panel was framed with ipe wood, LED lights were attached to the back side, and the finished piece was mounted directly on the stucco wall. Stunning by day, this unique wall art is drop-dead gorgeous when the sun goes down and a soft wash of light shines through its patterned openings.

Any panel that light will pass through and make an interesting pattern is a candidate for backlighting.
These are prefab woven fence panels. Similar panels can be found in a variety of materials and patterns.

Light strings. Tried and true; inexpensive too.
Light strings à la Italian piazza. Swag 'em, swoop 'em, zigzag 'em, string 'em up on a grid. Look for interesting variations on the standard string of lights. Add color, drama, movement, character, color and whimsy with the wide range of available styles. The possibilities are endless.

Laser light projectors and disco balls. Rig up a laser light projector or a disco ball for a lively evening soiree. Look closely at this photo and you'll see projected/reflected dots of green light dancing through the night air.

Light fixtures as art. Need light? Want that with a side of style and a pop of color? These bad boys have both in spades.
Tip: Look for creative light fixtures, then feature them as you would art in the garden. Consider placing them in clusters, varying the distance between them and setting them at different heights.

Varied lengths of steel posts with random cutouts, a little flat black paint and some LED lights make a stunning art installation — night and day.
Design with shadows. Sure, this light fixture illuminates the night, but it's so much more. It adds artistic panache by day and shadow patterns after dark.
Experiment with color. It's not a one-size-fits-all color wheel anymore. RGB (red, green, blue) LED lights can be programmed to cycle through the spectrum or be set for a single color. Change the programmed color to fit your mood.

Matching, but not exactly. These chairs, painted and upholstered to match one another, are stylish and fun and probably cost less than $150 all together.

Upgrade outdated light fixtures. Many can be found for well under $200, and the difference that beautiful lighting makes in a home is immense. Go for simple shapes and useful details, like a diffuser covering the bottom of a pendant light (as in the one from West Elm shown here), which shades your eyes from the bare bulb when you're seated underneath.

Wright first designed this lamp for Taliesin in the 1930s and gradually introduced it into his commissioned designs. Dan adapted the design and constructed two of these lamps for the Dobkins House. Day or night, the diffused glow softens the geometry of the space and brings natural materials to life.

It may look like a basket weave, but perforated iron with an antique bronze finish creates this West Elm pendant's stunning shadows. The illusion gives a softness, adding to the delicate glow.

dksuttle If you want a light fixture that wows but aren't sure where to start, here's a good rule of thumb: Add the measurements of your room, and that's about how many inches your fixture should be. So a 12-foot by 15-foot room, for example, would have a 27-inch fixture. Of course, we're never opposed to going a little bigger!
