Lighting Tips from Thom Filicia

June 15, 2025

 


Thom is known for effortlessly blending classic forms with a modern sensibility to create products and interiors that are both timely and timeless. Influenced by the worlds of architecture, art, travel and lifestyle, the Thom Filicia Home Collection of lighting features a balanced and inspired combination of sculpted, elegant and thoughtfully designed details with a strong and sophisticated mix of materials. Below you will find some of his tips on how to select lighting for your home that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic.

LET THERE BE MOOD
Every space should have a variety of dimmable light sources — from integrated architectural lighting to uplighting, task lighting, lamp lighting, sconce lighting, art lighting and decorative fixtures. A variety of light sources is the best way to create mood in a space and allow your interiors to seamlessly transition from activity to activity, day to night or cocktail to cuddly.

MIX IT UP
Don’t be afraid of mixing materials in your lighting — whether that’s mixing metal with wood, wovens, leathers, stone, plaster, ceramic, or glass. A thoughtful & balanced mix of materials in your lighting can add a depth of texture and personality to your interior!


BOLD YET LIVEABLE
The best lighting employs a balanced combination of refinement through the precision of machine- made lines, with the approachability and casual elegance of an artisan hand. Glamor and sophistication that meets a relaxed easiness in lighting provides the perfect backdrop for a comfortable & cool yet strong & stylish liveability.

TELL A STORY
Lighting is not only a practical and functional component of a space, but it is also a great way to enhance the experience of an interior. Think of lighting as an additional layer to the interior and exterior architectural envelope of an environment and the lifestyle created within it — highlighting the architecture, the artwork, and the landscape, as well as adding a dynamic and intentional dimension of aesthetic, drama and warmth create a unique & compelling narrative.

SIZE MATTERS
Using scale and proportion is as important as the material and finish of your lighting. It’s a design tool that should be a part of the initial conversation and can be used to intentionally play to the experience that you’re creating in your environment. From small and elegant to over-scaled and dramatic — lighting can disappear into an interior or be a defining element within the design.
