- Q: What are your tips for mood lighting?
- Lighting, lighting, lighting. It's so crucial to creating atmosphere, and yet so many people forget the importance of it--especially when entertaining guests. Here are three of my favorite tricks to help you set the tone.

Turn it down: The key is to have the lights dimmed, to take away any glare. I like Lutron's
Maestro Dimmer Switch.
Add a reflection: As mentioned in a previous
Ask Estee, I love a candle story. I suggest enhancing
tea lights with
glass accessories and mirrors to reflect and amplify your mood lighting.
Build in hang time: I'm a big fan of pendants and lanterns for indoor and outdoor settings--Greige's
Berlin Pendant Lamps are a favorite, as are Terrain's
Verdisgris Filigree Lanterns.
