If you were paying attention, I totally screwed up and added doubles of the numbers 19, 46, and 95, so I've added a/b options for those links, because I wasn't about to spend an extra three hours fixing the numbers, re-exporting it, and re-uploading it. Also, just to clarify, the reason I kept saying "I don't know what to call it / how to describe it / etc" was specifically because the names of the sections are words that don't really mean anything. Modern doesn't actually mean anything. Traditional doesn't actually mean anything. But we still kind of culturally understand what visuals I'm referring to when I say that.
This is such a great vid! So often all the cool suggestions for lights are pendants and it just doesn’t work in many spaces with low ceilings and it’s so hard to find flush and semi flush lights that are at all charming. I ended up DIYing a semi flush ceiling light with a small Nelson Bubble lamp flying saucer and a ceiling fixture with a short rod from Color Company. I also one of those drop shipped Chinese “bauhaus” milk glass fixtures - but sadly it is not the creamy color glass it is optic white. Don’t love it but it was cheap and fine for now. The bedroom I put a Minimus ceiling fan light which is … very minimal and unobtrusive. Anyway thanks for this content.
Hey love the second hand lamp comment. For most people if you have a re-store near you you’re gonna likely find some cool lights there! If you’re in NYC I highly recommend big reuse in Brooklyn for secondhand lights/lamps (great books/media, dishware selections too) (Also if you go here on the subway don’t follow the google maps directions, get off at smith/9th and walk across the Lowe’s parking lot, will save a lot of time)
You’re SO REAL for hating on coloured lampshades!!! I bought the ikea Regnskur pendant shade recently because I was looking for something George Nelson-esque on a budget, and while I love the look of it when it’s off, when it’s on it puts out horrible blue-green light and really limits how much light actually passes through the shade. I think the bulb I have in it is 1000+ lumens, but it’s nowhere near bright enough to read with, or even light up the one couch it’s hanging over. Eventually I want to diy a white fabric shade to put over the wire frame, but choosing the right stretchiness of fabric seems tricky 🤔
i know right? they’re so fun in theory, but not in practice. i had the round version in white in a previous apartment, and i found that putting a smaller paper lampshade inside it helped distribute the light more evenly, because the fabric they chose (and most fabric in general) didn’t do a very good job distributing light. that might help so you can get a stretchier fabric?
@@anticapitalisthomedesign oh that’s such a good hack adding a paper shade to distribute the light. I’m not sure if I could find one that would fit inside mine because it’s such an oblong shape, but maybe I could even try DIYing it! Just gotta make sure it’s fire safe lmao…. 🫥
I think number 61 with its travertine base and three light bulbs also has shades made of alabaster, or at least glass imitating it. It goes really well with the travertine. Darling, you look great as always and produce unique content. Thanks for the video, wish you become a top youtuber as soon as possible.
About the "ammonite" fixtures, i think you may have been thinking of diatomeas (not sure if it's the right word). They are microscopic but very famous for their various beautiful radial symmetrical shapes. Most famous are the drawings by biologist Erich Haeckel (hope i got the name right it's been more than a decade since i finished my biology degree)
Thanks for showing options that beyond what others are showing. I got some great ideas to replace what I can in my apartment. It's a beautiful pre-war building but the owner picked the ugliest lighting options possible. They aren't even boob lights. He tried to "design" and it's still bad. If only I could replace the ugly ceiling fans too, but we can't.
I'm desperately looking for a desk lamp that isn't too boring but also very functional (flexible positioning of the light) while looking cosy and not too office-y or at least office-y in a cool way, because I just have one room. If you feel like making this a series 😂
Reason I've put off changing them is because the boob light has a large base and all the replacements I like have a smaller one. And I don't want to use a ceiling medallion.
Gen Z style!! Yes what is that! I’ve been inspired by it originally but now it feels overdone. Can’t really define it other than trendy post modern. Know a gen z who has this style.

i love the restore! a little hit or miss for lighting where i’m at, but always worth a look 👌

@@deeeno6867 yes! please only use an led light bulb if you do the paper lol
I've been looking for a video like this!! thank you for compiling all these resources!
you’re welcome! glad it was helpful ✨
Dream video❤
Thanks for this!!!
you’re welcome 🥰

ammonite was the word i was thinking of, but diatomeas definitely look more like the lights lol 😅

Great video! Could you male a similar style video for ceiling fans?
it’s already on my list!

that’s totally fair. i don’t have a solution for that yet, but i’ll think about it!
@@anticapitalisthomedesignThanks! There are many great ideas in the video.

exactly! so many labels that feel universally known (esp in interior design) are pretty undefinable when it comes down to it 🫠
Would have been helpful to show in the beginning what a boob light looks like, I had to google it. Otherwise nice video
you’re so right, i was totally assuming that everyone was familiar with that phrase. sorry about that!
I want to watch your video badly, but the hand gestures are so intense and so distracting that these videos are unwatchable 😭😭😭
sometimes my hands just have a mind of their own 🤷♀️
