Something I always spot in a well-designed restaurant is the luxurious light fixtures that illuminate the dining room. At first, it seems impractical to try and incorporate the extravagant pendant lights we admire on our nights out into our everyday homes, but then again, why not?

"The seamless merging of hospitality design influences into the private sphere comes from homeowners seeking to recreate that sense of indulgent escapism within their own walls," she says.
