The Minka Lavery design desk exists so interior designers, authorized showrooms, and custom-home builders can stop rebuilding the same finish-and-scale matrix from scratch on every project.
1 business day
Questions tagged with a room photo, ceiling height, and target finish jump the queue because there is nothing left to clarify before the fixture suggestion.
Five conversations that make up most of the inbound work. You can start with any of them; we do not need a full specification before the first round.
Match a foyer chandelier with dining, kitchen, bath, and exterior lanterns in the same finish family. Reduces mid-project re-orders that do not line up.
Chandelier diameter vs room plan, chain drop from finished ceiling, bottom-of-fixture to tabletop or floor — confirmed before the order leaves the warehouse.
Integrated-LED families tested against common residential dimmers (Lutron DVELV, Leviton IPE04). We share the compatibility matrix before you buy the wall plate.
Older plaster ceilings, shallow junction boxes, and low-voltage transformer closets reviewed with photos. Fewer returns after install day.
Seeded-glass shades, harps, and socket sleeves for collections up to twenty years old. Brings older rooms back to service without a full re-fixture.
ALA-affiliated showrooms receive finish chips, display-kit pricing, and stocked hero-SKU programs tuned to seasonal demand.
The desk is staffed by lighting specialists who have touched the fixtures on the shop floor. We are faster with a photo, a rough sketch, and a finish direction than with a 12-page spec binder.
Photo of the ceiling, approximate dimensions, and one or two reference images of the finish direction you are leaning toward.
Usually two to four fixture candidates per room, with diameter, drop, finish, and stocking status attached to each one.
Place the order through your authorized showroom or directly with the desk if you are a trade account. Lead times shared honestly, not aspirationally.
If the electrician hits a surprise at install, the desk reopens the conversation the same day — canopy swap, chain extension, or shade replacement routed within 24 hours.
Send a picture of the completed foyer. We will suggest the dining, bath, and outdoor fixtures that keep the same finish discipline.
