Lamps-Plus: Decorative Bedroom Lights
Lamps-Plus Lighting Guide:The right lighting is not only more efficient and cost effective, but lighting also accentuates the personal style of your home. In some cases, the wrong lighting can even be partially responsible for health problems. This lighting buying guide from Lamp Plus is designed to assist you in choosing the right lighting for your home.
Lamps-Plus: Wall Mounted Sconces
Wall Mounted Sconces and Fixtures Wall-mounted lighting, such as sconces, is a popular way to illuminate porches and hallways. Wall sconces over a sofa set or in a dining room will add to the ambiance of your home. Home lighting creates moods and warmth in home décor, and wall sconces make dramatic focal points in your room. Most wall mounts or wall sconces shed soft lighting and are meant as room accents only. Many wall sconces must be hard wired into your wall. Overstock.com recommends professional installation of these wall light fixtures.
Lamps-Plus: Ceiling Light Fixtures
Ceiling fixtures,, such as chandeliers or flushed lighting fixtures, are a traditional way of lighting a kitchen, hallway or bedroom. Ceiling light fixtures add a general glow to a room, but may be inadequate when used alone. Using an additional lamp helps to counteract the harsh shadows cast by ceiling light fixtures. Decorative ceiling light fixtures, such as chandeliers and pendants, make a beautiful and functional addition to any room. Other modern ceiling light fixtures include track lighting and recessed lighting.
Lamps-Plus: Table Lamps
Table Lamps have been in homes for centuries. Table lamps range from 25 inches to 34 inches in height and are the most-used general lighting in all homes. Whether lit by candles, as in the alabaster lamps of ancient Egypt, gas, or electricity, lighting with table lamps has always been a popular choice for home lighting. Table lamps look best when the lamp base and the shade are in proportion to each other. When you sit, the lampshade should be at eye level and the light globe unseen. Bedroom Table Lamps
Floor Lamps
Floor Lamps often boast adjustable lighting using three-way bulbs. Floor lamps take up very little space and are convenient lighting for reading areas. Choose Torchiere lighting, which sends the light upwards, shade lighting, which focuses the light of the floor lamp out and down, or a floor lamp with a combination of the two.
Tiffany Lights
Tiffany Lamps feature stained glass shades. Any type of lamp--a floor lamp, table lamp or accent lamp--can be a Tiffany style lamp. The beautiful stained glass shades are soldered together with copper foil, and they provide you with an array of color and style choices. Watch out for Tiffany style lamp shades that are made with plastic; these are cheap imitations, as are entirely glass lamp shades made from a mold.
Vanity Lights
Lamp Plus: Vanity Lighting can be difficult to get right. Too much glare or too little illumination: it always seems to need adjusting. Update your bathroom with a lighted vanity mirror. Beautiful and modern vanity lighting is an excellent addition to any home décor. Like wall-mounted lighting, sconces and vanity lighting must be hard wired into your wall. Professional installation of these wall light fixtures is recommended.
