Lighting options for your home have evolved from the traditional crystal dining-room chandelier to a wildly diverse and artistic array of ceiling lights, table lamps, sconces and pendants. Lighting has moved to the forefront of home decor, says Sol Shem-tov, owner of Design Hub in Millburn and its newly opened sister store in Westfield.

Shem-tov’s shops offer most major lighting brands, plus a curated inventory of furnishings and accessories, and full-service interior design. Shem-tov, whose lighting background includes designing and manufacturing crystal chandeliers, notes, “Crystal will always be luxury, but it has taken a turn toward contemporary, more scaled back with clean lines.” The store’s signature line, Lighting Fix, designed by Shem-tov, introduces about a dozen pieces each year. “We can also replicate and customize anything,” says the Springfield resident. Custom pieces are executed in approximately 90 days. “The element of design is what makes us different,” he says. “We give you what you want, quickly for a good value.”
