Lighting Your Way
Backed by more than thirty years in the design / lighting industry , Marie Mancini , co-owner of Mancini Fine Lighting and Design in East Greenwich , can fully attest that the right light fixtures have the ability to completely transform the look , feel and function of a home . She also appreciates the fact that close collaboration with clients — from homeowners and designers to builders and architects — is just as paramount . “ We pride ourselves on offering very personalized service , be it a renovation or a new construction , to determine how each space is going to be used ,” she says . “ We visit the property with the homeowners and then we help and guide them through the lighting design and decorative selection process , so the final outcome suits their personal aesthetic and unique needs .”
As was the case with this traditional New England shingle-style cottage in the East Bay . “ I feel we established a wonderful working relationship with the cosmopolitan owner from day one , assisting her in making creative lighting choices to invoke a more metropolitan edge . Yet by choosing warm finishes , we maintained the warmth of a traditional home ,” says Mancini . “ The contrast is so appealing .”
Under Mancini ’ s guidance , each piece was painstakingly selected with the homeowner . The striking yet welcoming piece in the foyer now greets and directs their gaze to the gorgeous water views beyond ( which are even further enhanced at night by the exterior handcrafted lighting ). The property ’ s surrounding natural beauty also played an intricate part in choosing a fitting fixture to cast light upon the homeowners ’ grand piano . “ The chandelier ’ s rolling curves are reminiscent of soothing waves ,” says Mancini .
In the dining room , the homeowner chose to purchase the same , much-adored chandelier on display in her previous home . It not only perfectly complements the new space , but Mancini was able to help the homeowner flawlessly marry the design with harmonizing sconces . In the end , “ she couldn ’ t have been more pleased with the outcome ,” Mancini says . ◆
