“There’s more than one way to correctly light a space,”
says David Mancini of Mancini Fine Lighting and Design in East Greenwich. With
an excess of fifty years of accumulated experience, owners David and Marie know
that close collaboration with the client is key. “We provide very personalized service.
We not only meet with the homeowners in our showroom, but we also go through the
client’s property — be it a renovation or new construction — with them to understand
and determine how each space is going to be utilized. This extra personalized step
allows us to ensure that we are designing and specifying lighting that suits their needs
and will perform in their spaces the way they expect.”
Pictured here is one such instance with an oceanfront Jamestown home. The
dining room, in particular, is transformed by light in different ways, creatively
utilizing all three types of lighting: ambient, accent and task. The indirect lighting
above emits a soft glow at night and highlights, rather than diminishes, the windows’
surrounding water views. A striking chandelier adds ambiance and visual interest
to the room and recessed lighting provides the required illumination for daily tasks.
The partnership between designer and client continued throughout the entire scope
of the renovation. The foyer’s beautiful barrel ceiling is enhanced with two forms of
indirect lighting. The master bedroom boasts bedside task lighting for late-night reading,
indirect lighting around the headboard and eye-catching chandeliers imported from
Murano, Italy. Each area was magnificently elevated to suit the needs of the clients.
Upon completion, Mancini Fine Lighting and Design’s attention to detail
throughout the home paired with an understanding of the homeowners’ taste and
lifestyle made this project a success and ensures a bright future for years to come. ◆
