The young designers Saggia&Sommella had the goal of creating a collection of white blown glass fixtures that went beyond the typical globe shape. The result was Lumi – a collection of 4 softly shaped fixtures all featuring delicate, satin-finish blown glass diffusers: Baka, Mochi, Mycena, and Sfera. The name Lumi was chosen for two reasons: the word "lume" in Italian is synonymous with light; in Finnish, the same word means "snow" and this resembles the soft and delicate shapes. The collection includes a series of pendants, ceiling, wall, table, hanging and floor lamps, in multiple style options and sizes, all for indoor use.

This project was an exercise in minimalism — how it can be embraced and incorporated at multiple levels. Typical of San Franciscan Victorians, the dark interior of this home was segregated and circulation spaces were narrow and dark. The stairs to the upper level was an afterthought and tucked away. By removing the walls and rebuilding the stairs, we shifted the focus of this home’s interior and made the stairs the focal point. This project pays homage to the stairs, a critical element in the function and tone the home sets. As a transitional element, it carries the user from level to level, function to function, and mindset to mindset. The goal of this remodel was to invite the user upstairs and offer a more integrated transition to the upper level while at the same time using it to create a shaft of light into the inner recesses of the living space below. As one ascends the stairs, the floor gradually disappears revealing a naked structural spine as the stairs reaches the upper level. The dormer addition offered ample headspace and invites columns of light to penetrate below. The cantilevered floor and shadow play this offers, dynamically marks its imprint on both levels. Ancillary and storage spaces tucked away neatly and delicately – reminding us that expression should not be at the expense of function. Delicate and clean food preparation areas — now integrated with the rest of the home — invite us to celebrate this expression of unity.

As the sun sets and the day transitions into night, the allure of this waterfall and pool area takes on a whole new enchanting dimension. The carefully planned lighting design accentuates the beauty of the space, creating a magical atmosphere that is nothing short of breathtaking. Soft, warm lights strategically placed around the waterfall and pool gently illuminate the cascading water, casting a mesmerizing glow that dances and shimmers on the ceramic-tiled frame.

The privacy plants, now subtly illuminated, create intriguing silhouettes against the dark night sky. The once green curtain of foliage transforms into a captivating backdrop of shadows and shapes, enhancing the sense of seclusion and intimacy even further. The flower picture in the middle of the waterfall's ceramic-tiled frame, now softly lit, seems to come alive with a delicate radiance. Its colors, though subdued, retain their beauty and charm, becoming a captivating focal point amidst the darkness. Reflecting on the pool's surface, the blue ceramic tile frame now appears to shimmer like a celestial pool, mirroring the starlit sky above.

The combination of the flowing waterfall, the glimmering blue frame, the illuminated privacy plants, and the delicate flower picture creates a captivating and romantic atmosphere, evoking a sense of wonder and tranquility.

Transform Your Home with Expert Wallpaper Installation by Windy City Painters This dining room in Evanston, Illinois, recently underwent a stunning transformation, thanks to the team at Windy City Painters. As a trusted Chicago painter and wallpaper installer, we specialize in elevating spaces with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. For this project, we installed bold, eclectic wallpaper on both the walls and ceiling—a design style that’s making a huge comeback in modern home décor. The ceiling wallpaper, in particular, is the highlight of this room. This intricate pattern required careful planning and precise installation to achieve a seamless look. Ceiling wallpaper installation is one of the most challenging aspects of our work. Gravity, delicate materials, and complex patterns make it a task that only skilled professionals should tackle. Every seam, alignment, and adhesive application must be perfect, as even minor mistakes can be glaringly obvious on a ceiling. This is why hiring an experienced wallpaper installer is essential, especially when working with expensive, custom, or delicate wallpaper. The process of wallpaper installation begins with careful surface preparation. Walls and ceilings need to be cleaned, repaired, and smoothed to ensure the wallpaper adheres properly. Next comes the meticulous measuring and cutting of wallpaper pieces, taking into account pattern repeats to ensure a flawless design flow. For ceilings, additional steps include precise alignment and support systems to keep the wallpaper in place as the adhesive sets. It’s a time-intensive process, but the results speak for themselves—creating a space that feels polished, cohesive, and unique. Bold, busy patterns, like the one used in this dining room, are becoming increasingly popular. This eclectic style is perfect for homeowners looking to add personality and drama to their spaces. When paired with complementary furniture and décor, it creates a harmonious yet striking aesthetic. In this case, the rich blue tones, paired with natural wood accents and mid-century modern furniture, make the room feel both elegant and inviting. At Windy City Painters, we pride ourselves on being a top Chicago painting contractor and wallpaper expert. Whether you’re looking to enhance your walls or tackle the challenge of ceiling wallpaper, our experienced team has you covered. Ready to bring your vision to life?

This kitchen went through a stunning transformation to make if more open and modern looking. We started by modifying the layout of the island to make it more functional and comfortable. We added a microwave in the island along with a wine cooler. We added two rows of cabinets back-to-back adding more storage capacity and giving the island a width that allows you to work comfortably. On the wall with the window, we removed the old cabinets and replaced them with floating shelves. We also removed the old pantry with bifold doors and added two pantries with pullouts. All the new cabinets were done in a white shaker door. For the countertop we used a white base quartz with delicate gray veins, while the backplash we install was a Subway style tile. To finish the new look, all new LED lights were installed under the cabinets. Now this homeowner has the kitchen of their dreams.

The powder room is a destination at the end of the beautifully lit corridor and plays host to a unique styling of different textures and finishes.

These natural textures pair beautifully with the delicate, linen wallcovering which glistens against the crystal and brass pendant hanging delicately from the ceiling. There is a lovely asymmetry found throughout this space, with a clever disposition of hard and soft materials.
