Welcome to Charm & Circumstance! In this episode, Ashley shines a spotlight (pun intended) on one of the most transformative yet underestimated elements of interior design: lighting. From the golden glow of a cordless lamp to the subtle elegance of picture lights, lighting is more than just illumination—it's emotion, atmosphere, and elegance rolled into one.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The 3 essential layers of lighting (and why your home needs all three)
  • Common lighting mistakes that can sabotage a beautiful room
  • The lighting philosophy we use at Ashley Morgan Interiors to craft sophisticated, high-end spaces
  • The small tweaks that can instantly elevate your home’s ambiance
  • Whether you're refreshing a room or rethinking your entire home, this episode will help you see lighting in a whole new… light.

    • Our favorite cordless crystal lamps
    • Why 2700K is our go-to color temperature
