These are wild times. As the pandemic found its way to Madison, the folks here at family-owned Madison Lighting decided the best thing to do was close our showroom temporarily. Our staff is truly family, related and not. We’re working from home, while a few others keep the warehouse rolling and th…Read More
Matte black has become the new metallic finish in lighting, so we’ve added it to our palette. It’s a trend that’s here to stay. Like the perfect LBD or a Tom Ford tux, matte black adds a glam sophistication that feels luxurious, doesn’t it? But that’s where this trend takes a sharp left tu…Read More
In a minimal life at home we find a trend that has inspired us. The rooms are simple, and the furniture is big. Elements of the style or period are carried through each piece of furniture: the fabric, the curve of the arm, the turn of the leg. Accessories are almost non-existent. And the crowning gl…Read More
If a coastal vibe conjures up a rather sloppy look with kitschy fish prints hanging on the walls and wobbly lamps we’re here to address that.

Fortunately, you can add light to your home (and home office) bringing beautiful comfort to your life. In a time when changing…Read More
In the building of a new home we bring our ideas, solutions, and lighting design expertise to our client’s projects. One recent new home really stands out. It’s a home designed around the lives of the husband and wife that plan to live there “forever.” But our takeaway was this. It’s like …Read More
We’re hearing it. Like a drumline coming toward us, we’re hearing customers saying, “Wait! This is Kichler?” And, “Whoa, THIS is Kichler?” I feel the same way! The company that’s perhaps best known for bathroom vanity fixtures with great style at a great price has roared into our consc…Read More
What’s this funny looking thing pictured here, you say? This odd-looking gadget is the reason I love the light in my kitchen. It’s an undercabinet fixture and it’s gonna change your life. I have one of these under the cabinets over my dishwasher, over my coffee grinder and Mokamaster, over my …Read More
