I only have the two Chihuly’s at this point, and they are in my living room which has floor to ceiling windows. Just in the display cases that they came in. Really just the natural light catches them, but I thought about having a spotlight over them. We have a rather minimalist, modern decor that really caters to the museum vibe.

This thread has re-invigorated my desire for more pieces, especially from these equally talented and more affordable makers.

Cheers!

Yeah the fun thing about glass is how differently they react to light and how each piece reacts when lit and when not lit.

That's why I have mine lit because in the daytime they look one way and at night when lit the really pop.

They are a great fun thing to pursue.
