Tips for Decorating with Glass Sconces
When remodeling your home on a budget, you might try rearranging the furniture. You may take down items on the wall and place these somewhere different. You might switch out the color scheme in a room for another one.
While all these methods work, if you want to make a big change in your home without spending major bank, look at the lighting. This can totally revamp the feel of a room. Sconces are a great way to create mood lighting. With their broad appeal, sconces work in almost any room in the home. You just have to know how to decorate with them.
Interested in adding some sconces to your home? Here are some handy decorating tips.
Sconces are a natural fit in the bathroom, but try to keep these simple. Slimmer, streamlined sconces with silver detailing can flank either side of a large bathroom mirror to provide ample lighting. Even better, this doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the décor.
If you have an empty room or plain hallway, sconces are the perfect decorative touch. Not only do these fill up that empty space, but they also create lighting in otherwise dark rooms and spaces. At night, you can turn your hall sconces on low so no one trips in the dark on their way to the bathroom or bedroom.
Do you have a favorite piece of artwork you love to show off? Maybe it’s a rare painting or a family heirloom. Small sconces on either side of the piece are a subtle but memorable means of spotlighting the artwork. If the art piece is already in the center of the room, this is a surefire way to make sure anyone who visits will notice it.
Thus far, we’ve discussed how sconces work in large spaces with long hallways and big walls. However, if you’re low on space, sconces can actually free up room. Since the lighting is on the walls, you don’t have to squeeze in a lamp in an alright tight space. That alone can change the look of a room.
When it comes to sconces, shopping is not a one-size-fits-all experience. There are a lot of considerations to make. For example, depending on the size and shape of the sconce, it can create a lot of shadow or a lot of light. This also depends on the positioning. Those same sconces you placed in a flat, empty hallway can look very different in the bedroom above a mirror or on a kitchen wall.
As you can see, sconces are a creative lighting option for the home. These brighten up a variety of rooms, even small spaces. Are you ready to shop for some glass sconces? Contact us at CBD Glass.
