Lighting That Transforms Spaces with Elements Lighting and Decor

n this episode of the IDS Podcast, Brian sits down with Hailey, Tim, and Nicole from Elements Lighting and Decor in Carle Place to explore how lighting truly defines a space. Hailey, a visual merchandiser and media communications specialist, Nicole, a buyer and analyst, and Tim, the general manager, share their expertise on how lighting goes far beyond being a finishing touch—it’s often the starting point in a well-designed room.

They discuss how today’s designers are integrating lighting early in the process to influence mood, highlight textures, and create a sense of flow in interiors. From art deco inspirations to bold pops of color and the rise of bespoke fixtures, the trio dives into emerging trends and how technology like integrated LEDs and smart-home systems are reshaping the industry. They also share insights on sustainability, offering tips on selecting fixtures that balance efficiency, longevity, and aesthetic appeal.

Listeners will also hear about the value of working with a showroom versus shopping online—gaining access to expert guidance, curated collections, and post-purchase support that ensures every fixture fits perfectly. Whether you’re a designer or homeowner, this conversation is packed with practical advice to help you make lighting a true expression of style.
