The dining room is perhaps the most misunderstood room in the modern home. By day, it is often a workspace or a place of transit. But by night, it should transform. It is the stage for conversation, connection, and shared experiences. Too often, this atmosphere is killed by a single, harsh overhead light. At Maison Jaspers, we believe lighting a dining room is akin to lighting a film set. It requires drama, softness, and layers. Here is how to use vintage lighting to take you

Most people only ever see our lamps when they look perfect: photographed, measured, sometimes in 3D, ready to ship anywhere in the world.

Done badly, it can feel random or cluttered. The good news: you don’t need a stylist or an interior designer to get it right. With a few simple principles, you can combine vintage lighting  and modern furniture  in a way that feels calm, layered and quietly luxurious. 1. Decide who’s the “star” of the room The fastes

In the world of interior design, "sustainability" and "luxury" have often been viewed as separate concepts.

The console table. It is often the first thing you see when you enter a home, or the grounding element behind a sofa. Yet, it can easily become a clutter magnet or a neglected surface. At Maison Jaspers, we view the console table as a stage—a perfect opportunity to create a "vignette" that tells a story about your style. The secret to a magazine-worthy look isn't just about buying expensive items; it is about the composition of four key elements: Statement Lighting, Art, Book
