Often the bedroom is a retreat, and it can be a romantic, relaxing room if properly decorated. Lighting is important for the mood of a room. It can greatly enhance a room, but the wrong type of lighting can ruin the mood. If you are trying to set a romantic mood then forget about electric lights. Instead, try candles, which provide soft lighting and enhance ambiance. You can find candle sconces in a variety of styles. It is easy to install sconces in any place that needs more lighting because they require no wiring or electricity.
Wall Lanterns
Wall lanterns can fit any style room depending on what materials they are made of. Wood, brass, and pewter are excellent for a country or traditional style home. Brushed nickel and chrome update lanterns and fit perfectly in a contemporary room. If you are looking for Zen like accents, then try square wooden bases in dark tones, such as mahogany or ebony. Metal scones in cream, black, or brown look great in many rooms. If you place the lanterns near your bed, they will pick of different tones in your fabric, enhancing them. Wall lanterns also provide the perfect lighting for metal wall art and paintings.
Dramatic Groupings
You can make a dramatic display by grouping a large number of candles. You can find wall holders that will accommodate a number of votive or tea light candles, allowing you to create a focal piece. If you want a symmetric arrangement, try putting a sconce over each nightstand on either side of the bed. You could also try a large arrangement directly over the bed to act as a centerpiece. Be careful when placing a candleholder above a bed or any other piece of furniture because the wax may drip if it is not level.
Mirrors on the Wall
If you want to enhance the atmosphere even more, try placing wall mirrors strategically around the room to catch the candlelight and reflect it. You can also purchase sconces with mirrors already attached as part of the design. You can find the perfect one for your style. There are contemporary mirrors with clean, simple lines; elegant Venetian glass perfect for a Tuscan or French country style; primitive, whimsical styles for a country room.
Versatile Glass Chimneys
One option you may want to consider is a glass chimney. Glass chimneys add class to any room and come in a huge selection. You can get them in colored glass, mosaic glass, and engraved glass. Glass chimneys give an added layer of elegance to any room, and you can find a chimney to match any style you are looking for, including missionary style, minimalist modernism, or traditional elegance.
A Treat for the Senses
If you want to complete the mood, try scented candles. With new scents being created all the time, you will find the perfect one. If you want your room to feel clean and fresh try citrus or fresh linen. If you are missing summer, try lilac, honeysuckle or other floral fragrances. If you are looking for more exotic scents, then choose cinnamon, or other fragrances from India and China like sandalwood and jasmine. Scented candles will provide the finishing touch for the senses when combined with visually stunning candle sconce arrangements.
