Kim Harper, the founder of Illuminaries standing in front of a Spanish-style villa.

Kimberly Harper

A native of East Texas, Kimberly attended The University of Texas where she received her degree in design. Her inspiration for old world lighting came early on from her summers spent while vacationing with her family in the Mexican heartland and continued as she frequently traveled throughout Mexico as an adult. It was on one of those trips that Kim purchased a unique outdoor light fixture from a local merchant. After returning to her home in Austin and having it installed on the exterior of her home she was asked by a local home builder where she had purchased this unique light. She told the builder where she had bought it and after striking up a friendship she agreed to bring one back for him on her next trip.

When Kim returned to Mexico she was unable to locate the exact fixture she had promised to bring back for her new builder friend. She asked the shop owner about his supplier for lighting and he directed her to a small welding shop on the outskirts of town.

Seeing these master craftsmen create beautiful pieces of art out of raw steel inspired Kim to arrange with the shop owner to supply her with lighting based on her designs that she intended to sell in the Austin market.

On the right, a more modern design with a minimalist metal frame showcasing a light bulb. Both sconces are mounted with curved arms, providing a unique blend of artistry and functionality.

As a single mom Kim wanted a career that allowed her the flexibility to spend more time with her children, so she launched the illuminaries.com website and the rest as they say is history.

Kim spent the next 10 years building a successful online business, importing and selling beautifully designed and crafted home lighting to designers and home builders all over the US, Canada and Europe.

Due to the issues with violence on the US border with Mexico, Kim found it increasingly difficult to travel to Mexico to inspect the lighting she was having built. During the later part of 2009 Kim decided it was time to bring the manufacturing of her designs to the US. After carefully planning the move and spending months locating skilled welders, fabricators and contracting with all the required suppliers, Kim opened her manufacturing facility in August 2010.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I had an absolutely delightful experience working with Kim Harper of Illuminaries Lighting. I purchased four sconces and a quite large chandelier from Illuminares. Kim worked diligently to customize the chandelier just to the perfect dimensions and style we wanted. It is an amazing addition to the living room of our home and has enhanced our remodeling project immensely.

Illuminaries did some of the lighting in our home and we love all of it. Kim was amazing to work with and her products are gorgeous. You can’t find anything like it at the “regular” lighting stores. I highly recommend working with Illuminaries to make your home unique.

The chandeliers that I purchased from Illuminaries are gorgeous! I found similar ones at a custom shop in Santa Barbara that cost twice the price. They're heavy, great quality iron. The owner, Kim, was super helpful and easy to work with. She delivered as promised and we LOVE the lights! Having something this special made a big difference in the end product of our remodel. We love them and definitely would order from them again!!!
