Lighting is perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of designing a room but just may be one of the most important. Lighting fixtures that can also act as decorative accessories or even artwork can turn an ordinary room into something spectacular.

If you are not familiar with Ironware International you must check them out! Karin Eaton started this business back in 1986 after a buying trip to France introduced her to a remarkable blacksmith by the name of Pierre Picard. Determined to bring his artistry and skill to the U.S., Karin opened Ironware International and the rest is design history.

With over 500 lighting and furniture designs available there is something for everyone. Choose from beautiful chandeliers that will turn your ceiling into an art gallery; sconces in interesting and unique shapes that will brighten any wall space or dark corner and hand forged accent tables to add that finishing touch to your rooms.

If the idea of iron furniture conjures up visions of heavy black iron found in old spanish villas then you are in for a surprise.  Ironware International offers a selection of hand applied finishes that include polished and matte in colors that range from a rich warm brown to a surprising soft gold. And, of course, if you have a custom design, they will work together with you to make your visions come to life.

Don’t overlook the importance of beautiful lighting and custom finishes in a room.  These are the small details that set your space apart from others.
