Romantic Glow
You walk into a room aglow with flickering light. Warmth radiates, but you can’t quite put your finger on where it’s coming from. This is Romantic Glow: soft, muted light that seems to emanate from within. Set the mood for a quiet evening with ambient lighting (a dimmed chandelier is always a good idea) as a living room centerpiece or above a show-stopping table. Because sometimes a fairytale ending begins with the flick of a switch.

With the right fixtures, bulbs and dimmers, you can easily transform your home from a romantic evening to an energetic gathering space. For every space, there’s a lighting scheme that helps set the tone. From foundational lights like ceiling or rail lights, to more decorative lighting like pendants, Kichler can help you discover how different layers of light can enhance your space and set the right tone. Find out how you can set the stage and can create the right mood for entertaining, preparing a meal, relaxing or a romantic evening. |

Create a balance of warmth in the space with one large, down-facing overhead fixture, accompanied by two or three smaller wall or ceiling fixtures.

Product
We recommend a chandelier on a dimmer to create subtle light that bounces around the room, and sconces as an additional light source.
