Your goal may be to create a bold modern fixture for a industrial-style urban loft with an abundance of concrete and metal finishes, a dramatic old world fixture to offset hand-hewn stone walls, an organic contemporary piece to update a timber frame retreat, or a countless number of other options. Whatever the case, consider different forms, materials and colors to coordinate with the home’s structural design, furnishings and finishes.

Custom homes featuring distinctive architectural details and interesting materials are a great source of inspiration for the Hammerton design team.
