Got the Bedroom Blues? If You've Got a Light Bulb, We Can Help You!



Admit it, everyone can use a little advice in the bedroomhelp decorating of course. After all, the bedroom is where you spend a third of your life, whether it is reading a magazine, taking a nap, watching the television, or you know, spending time with your sweetheart. Improper lighting in your master bedroom can literally change each of those things. Low light when you are reading and you can hurt your eyes. Lighting that's too bright during a romantic moment could spoil the mood. Stop by http://www.barnesandwagner.com/table-lamps.html or follow these basic solutions for lighting, and you'll be well on your way to a much better bedroom experience with whatever you are doing.



Ceiling lights are generally used in hallways and closets, but they also look great in a bedroom when placed above the bed. Make sure you analyze all the kinds of ceiling light fixtures when you're picking one out because you will be astonished at what you can find that will enhance your room's decor. For use over the bed, I would strongly recommend a semi-flush fixture. These suspend a bit lower than the ceiling, frequently with the use of a down rod, so it allows for easy access to the bulb, if you want to change them. A dimmer switch is nice particularly to create more ambient light in the bedroom versus complete illumination.



A special and charming way to add light to your bedroom is to add a chandelier. Generally considered to use in a entrance hall or dining room, chandeliers for master bedrooms are fast gaining popularity. With a lot of different choices that are available, be sure you consider stained glass chandeliers for a unique touch. Smaller chandeliers can be hung above a nightstands instead of the customary table lamp. If your ceilings are high enough, you can use a larger chandelier above the bed for appealing bedroom focal point. No matter where you place your chandelier, be sure you have a dimmer switch to restrict the brightness of the light.



Wall sconces or wall lamps are normally disregarded as a source for light for a bedroom. And that is a pity because they can add a lot of appeal and character to the design in your bedroom. Wall lighting are the best solution if you don't have enough room in the bedroom for a lamp and nightstand. Simply place them on the wall on either side of the bed for a decorative light source that doesn't use very much space. They also look charming on the wall by your light switch, as you immediately enter your bedroom or situated on either side of a mirrored dresser.



The nightstand located on both sides of the bed is thought to be a necessity in any bedroom setting. And of course sitting on the nightstand, you'll likely find a table lamp. With such a wide selection out there, make sure to think about hand painted lamps, to add a little class to the decor in your house. Table lamps that have pull chains or require three-way bulbs are perfect if you like to have the ability to control the amount of light easily. Keep in mind that for safety reasons, you should not exceed the listed light bulb wattage. Of course, you can always use fewer watts to help create an intimate feeling.


Floor lamps add just the right touch when you'd like to bring much needed illumination to a poorly lit part of the room. Considering all the unique types and styles that are out there, you really should look at several such as Wood floor lamps before making the decision. Remember that lamps with a shade facing up, usually called torch lamps or torchiere, give off more ambient light as it is cast up and reflects off the ceiling. Floor lamps with the shade that faces down give off more task lighting and is very popular near a sofa or recliner. Make sure you get floor lamps with three-way bulbs or has a dimmer switch so you will be able to adjust the brightness to satisfy your needs.
