Details matter and nothing sets the mood of a well decorated room quit like proper lighting. Modiss adds a touch of designer drama to their collection of lamps and hanging lights with today's technology that utilizes LED and halogen bulbs to set the perfect tone. Here are three of their wall mounted sconce lights that caught my eye, which are a good way to add light to those dark hallways and out of the way spots. Wall lighting also frees up small areas like night stand space while providing a much more decorative approach that a typical lamp. Modiss has an exceptional line of all sorts of lighting including ceilings, tables, and floor lamps with a distinct flair all produced in Barcelona Spain.



I was looking at the new releases in ceiling fans from Modern Fan Company and saw one that caught my eye. Spanish designer, Jorge Pensi, is releasing the "Pensi" ceiling fan in August of this year. The Pensi has a throw back look that makes me think retro modern. This ceiling fan is available in gloss white, aluminum, or aluminum with a light. Along with the finishes is a large selection of fan blade colors to match the décor of your home. Measurements: base 6"; height 17". Available: here.

When it comes to awesome design and great leather selection, Natuzzi of Italy is second to none and has been the world's leader for many years. The Nicolaus sofa series is one of my favorites in not only look and feel, but versatility as well. The construction is geared for luxury with over sized arms, lower lumbar support, pleated sides, and a ratchet headrest that allows you to kick back and lounge on what was once a sleek low profile sofa. The Nicolaus is available in an electric model in which the self adjusting headrest works jointly with the seat that slips out about six inches to create a pseudo recliner. The motion takes place by placing your hand over the sensor built into the side of the arm nicely tucked away out of sight. For those wanting a nice expansive sofa sectional, your possibilities are limited only by space and imagination.

I recently had the pleasure to visit the Natuzzi head quarters in High Point North Carolina and see the awesome collection for 2008. Among the products in a beautiful three story showroom was the Dallas sofa series that stood out in what was an overall gorgeous collection. The Natuzzi Dallas sofa features thick deep pleated arm rests, removable headrests, and a firm yet comfortable seat. I was really impressed with the low transitional style of the Dallas that would allow it to find a home in a modern or transitional décor. You can see the entire new collection at Natuzzi, and keep your eye on all the coffee tables, lamps, and living room accessories which are all part of their line up.
