When I first saw this photo of a Nobis Hotel lounge area, I was struck by the dramatic effect the cluster of hanging lights created. By hanging different types and sizes of globe fixtures at various heights, the designers created a whimsical setting for an otherwise formal sitting area. I'd sip a sophisticated cocktail under that canopy all day long [figure of speech].
Whether inside or out, lights can take on a major role in setting the tone anywhere they're featured. Take a look at how the spaces below benefited by the clustering effect:

To give a space dimension, plenty of light and lots of cool shadows try hanging your lights in clusters.
Hope you enjoyed the light show...
