Often overlooked, the laundry room benefits from great lighting. You want to spot all the stains and be able to read the labels on garments and laundry products, so ample lighting is a must from a utility standpoint. Depending on your ceiling height, flush mount or semi-flush fixtures will provide adequate light for washing, drying, and sorting. If space allows, the laundry room can be a fun place to add some zip with a fun sconce, a pendant over a sink or even a small chandelier! If space is limited, increase your lighting with under-shelf or under-cabinet lighting, which offer loads of light while taking up almost no valuable workspace.

You only get one chance to make a first impression, and that is especially true with commercial properties. Restaurants, hotels, retail shops, banks, medical practices, fitness centers, churches, and countless other entities welcome thousands of visitors into their spaces. How does lighting and dcor help make that ever-important greeting? Its entrance, foyer, lobby, and common spaces speak volumes about any establishment. The tone, style and mood need to be suitable and convey your taste with impact, quality, and style.

Consider how your space is used. Instead of being dedicated to one specific task (like cooking, sleeping, dining), the living room is home to a variety of activities on any given day. It's where we might binge a favorite TV series, relax with a good book, unwind after a long day, entertain friends and family, play a game, or do homework. Since this room is truly multi-use, it is vital to plan the lighting with care and purpose. Layering is essential in this hub of the home. A combination of ceiling fixtures, including chandeliers, ceiling fans, pendants, semi-flush and flush-mount fixtures, provides general illumination.

Sunday brunch, game night, homework, or weeknight meals - the dining room table is the stage where much of family life plays out as well as being home to holiday entertaining and celebrations. The fixture above the table is the usual showstopper in the dining room but expressing yourself with a beautifully lit space isn't limited to a single fixture. Ambient and decorative lighting - used to accent the mood, artwork, or architectural details - can play a part by displaying your flair, whether it's classic, dramatic, trendy, modern, or somewhere in between.

Outdoor lighting enhances the curb appeal of your property and well-lit entrances and yards increase security and safety. Lighting and ceiling fans can make your outdoor living space more comfortable and useful. Landscape lighting adds another layer of depth and detail to your property. Coordinating the style of outdoor lighting with the look of your home's exterior creates a unified look which makes a winning first impression. Carefully-chosen lighting framing your main entrance - wall lanterns or a foyer pendant, for example - create an inviting, warm welcome for your guests.

By exceeding expectations and standing behind our products, Mahlander's strives for client satisfaction. We value stellar customer care - especially after the sale. That's how we've done business for more than a century and will continue for years to come. Our customers know and appreciate our commitment to their peace of mind. Even high-quality appliances sometimes require repair, no matter their age. Our dedicated Service & Parts department can take care of such issues and offer solutions to get your kitchen or laundry room back in working order with as little disruption to your routine as possible.

Often more than just a place to lay one's head, bedrooms deserve every bit as much attention to detail as the shared spaces in one's home. Lighting layering is key in creating an atmosphere of relaxation, so consider functional needs, mood and your personal flair when making your choices. Dimmable lights afford you the ability to change the feel of your space easily. General lighting might come from a centrally located fixture such as a flush or semi-flush mount, chandelier, pendant or even a lighted ceiling fan.

Since Mahlander's is both an appliance and lighting showroom, kitchens are one of our favorite rooms to furnish! Representing more than 20 appliance lines and many more lighting manufacturers, we'll see to every detail. We'll ensure your kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional. Kitchens require excellent lighting, particularly over work areas such as the sink, stove, island, or other work surfaces. And don't forget a light above the kitchen table. Pendants (single or in groups), chandeliers, semi-flush or flush mounts all work together beautifully to ensure every last nook in your kitchen is properly illuminated.

The bathroom is where most of us begin and end much of our daily routine - bathing, grooming, unwinding with a long soak or shower. Such variety of transformative activities requires a thoughtful and thorough lighting schematic. It is crucial to layer the lighting - ambient, task and accent lighting - for optimal function while maintaining a cohesive look. It is also an opportunity to employ some creative lighting solutions. Vanities need shadow-free task lighting (and great mirrors!) for shaving and make-up application.
