Of all the Tiffany style lighting products, Tiffany stained glass windows are my favorite. Tiffany stained glass windows provide the largest display of the beauty of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s talent.
Tiffany style stained glass windows are art with a wide variety of color and theme. Weather you choose an original Tiffany Coke Cola replica, a fairy tail scene or an abstract design, you get a striking piece of art that lights up any room. In addition you have the option to accent the Tiffany stained glass window with complementing Tiffany table lamp, Tiffany Floor lamp and Tiffany wall sconce
Tiffany chandeliers and Tiffany flushmount lighting systems will both provide all the illumination a room will require. The question is which is appropriate for any given room.
The correct Tiffany style lighting unit for a given lighting problem depends on a few factors. When trying to decide between a Tiffany chandelier or a Tiffany flushmount unit you must look at the overall size of the room and the intended use for the room. Tiffany chandeliers come in three, four, six, eight and even twelve arm units. The larger the unit, the more ceiling height you require. Nothing spoils the look of a room than a ceiling fixture that is out of proportion. Too small a room and the Tiffany chandelier will over power the over all look. On the other hand a three arm Tiffany chandelier in an entrance way that opens to two floors will be dwarfed and look ridiculous. Try cutting out paper replicas that represent the approximate size of the fixture you have in mind. Suspend the cut out with string and view from all sides before making your actual purchase.
Accenting the walls with Tiffany wall sconces works best with Tiffany chandeliers and will finish off the desired effect. Remember to use dimmer switches to control the overall effect.

When Coke Cola started updating their classic taste to something new there was an uprising against the change. Coke immediately brought the old flavor back as “Classic Coke”. Both flavors have survived and some new flavors have been added over the years.
