Owner of and lighting consultant at Western Montana Lighting Miss Drew Mihelish hangs onto the life raft that has buoyed her through the changes in economy, customer interests, and even customer origin: options. Western Montana Lighting is, and always has been, beaming with options to suit any style.
"We can do anything from rustic all the way to extremely modern," says Drew. "In fact, contemporary items have been our top seller for many years in a row. We have also seen a large request in modern farmhouse and mid-century modern. However, with more people moving to Montana from out of state, finally getting to decorate their rustic dream home, we are starting to see a rise in more rustic lighting again."
With Drew's team attending market to purchase lighting twice per year, they have any style or brand you could dream of. And you'd think after all these years Drew would surely have a favorite style, but that isn't the case.
"I have so much appreciation for each style for different reasons. The most important decision while developing your lighting package with my team is to give an overall concept that you are hoping to accomplish," says Drew. "It also looks best if you try to pair your lighting with the overall style and design of your home (exterior architecture coordinates with interior design). Marrying the inside out and outside in is the icing on the cake that makes your efforts seem extremely thought out and purposeful."
And that's where Drew's team shines—meeting the challenge. From countertops and hardware to flooring and paint colors, the team can grasp and execute any style and make it come together flawlessly. "The amount of talent my team has is hands down the best in the state when it comes to designing lighting layouts so come in and see what we can do for you," says Drew.
