Visual Comfort Open Box Sale
How was your weekend? Ours was pretty low key… I worked while Emmett rested (his surgery went really well). I shuffled lots of pretty things over to our Tuesday Made warehouse for our big sale happening in a couple weeks! Speaking of sales, while we were lounging over the weekend- I discovered Visual Comfort’s Open Box Sale is happening now. I look forward to this every year and wanted to share my favorite designer fixtures with you, because this is the lowest you’ll see these priced. In fact, I snagged the chandelier and picture light in my home office from this same sale. There are some incredible deals on designer brand fixtures I love- the ones I’m consistently integrating into design plans… Thomas O’Brien, Ralph Lauren, Kelly Wearstler, Suzanne Kasler, Aerin, Ian Fowler, Barbara Barry, Chapman & Myers, Amber Lewis, Ray Booth, etc. All the good ones! If you’ve had your eye on quality designer lighting or planning renovations, this is the time to grab the open box fixtures for a LOT less. Click through for a big roundup of my top picks. I hope it saves you some money for your home projects this year! These always go quick, as there are limited quantities…Â
I’m breaking down my curated picks into categories for easier shopping: sconces, picture lights, flush mounts, chandeliers, lamps, pendants, etc. When I think of Visual Comfort lighting, I think timeless with quality craftsmanship. They are the best of the best and their prices reflect that, and this is the best time to snag high-end lighting for less. Their finishes are fantastic and they always have a classic look. Another thing to remember- these come in multiple finishes, so click through to see if your preferred finish is available… most are!

Gallery lights are really versatile fixtures that can be installed above a single piece of art, above a gallery wall, to illuminate a vignette, or on built-ins or bookshelves. They’re perfect for highlighting a specific area and add dimension.
Chandeliers aren’t just for the dining room… they’re also ideal in an entryway, above a desk, soaking tub, walk-in closet, or any other space you’d like to make a statement.
I think sconces belong in every room… a home office or den, the bathroom, living spaces, bedrooms, entryways, the dining room, the kitchen or laundry room, etc. I can always find a place for a classic sconce! They’re the perfect fixture for layered lighting.
Semi flush mounts and flush mount fixtures are ideal for homes with lower or standard height ceilings. I love them lined down a hallway, centered in a smaller room, or tucked into tight spaces.
Like sconces, lamps are another light fixture that belong in every room. They’re the key to a designer looking lighting plan. From floor lamps to table and buffet lamps, layer them in and be strategic about organizing and hiding their cords! Floor outlets are also your friend when adding in freestanding fixtures.
Last, but not least… let’s chat pendants! I like to install pendants in the same places I’d install a chandelier (just on a smaller scale)… over an island, desk, dining table, in a walk-in closet or entryway, etc. Pendants are also great for design repetition. Think of 2-3 installed in a line above a kitchen island, or one above each sink in the bathroom.
I hope this post was helpful if you’re in the market for really nice lighting! I didn’t want this sale to fly by without sharing because I always shop this one. It’s the best prices I’ve seen on the Visual Comfort fixtures. Retailers aren’t allowed to discount VC lighting, so this is kind of a big deal in the design world. Good lighting makes a big difference when it comes to home design- I used to always tell my clients, budgeting for nice lighting will make the entire room / home feel elevated… even if you have to save elsewhere. It’s all about mixing high and low. Let me know if you need any fixture suggestions! I’ve seen them all in person at their showroom. Here’s to a great week ahead!
