It is difficult to imagine a bedroom without such a lamp as a sconce.
This additional light source is very important for the sleeping area. Not only is it an additional source of light in the room, but it also creates the opportunity to read a book before bed.
In this case, there is no need to turn on the central light in the room.
It doesn’t matter what goal you are pursuing when installing sconces in the bedroom. The main thing is that the sconce is selected and installed correctly.
First you need to decide on central lighting, and also consider all the sconce options that exist today.
How to organize lighting?
After all the repair work has been completed and the room has been furnished, it is worth considering the lighting.
The bedroom is the place in which a person rests and relaxes, and therefore it is so important that the lighting is conducive to relaxation, and, if necessary, is bright.
If you plan to organize light through sconces in the bedroom, you should think through everything in advance so that all the advantages of the room are emphasized with light.
Sconces are great as a light source no matter where you decide to use them, installation is important.
Remember that if the ceilings in the room are high, then the height of the sconce above the bed in the bedroom does not matter much.
Before hanging new chandeliers and sconces in the bedroom, it is worth considering at the renovation stage where and how the wiring “lies” so that there are no surprises later.
In addition, at the renovation stage, you need to think about the location of the future switch - it is located so that it can be easily reached directly from the bed.
Switch types
If you are preparing wiring for future lamps in advance, it is worth knowing that there are several types of switches for them:
Single. Such a switch can regulate the operation of only one device. If you hang two sconces, you will have to install two switches on both sides of the bed;
Consistent. It allows you to turn on several devices and usually has 2 keys;
Switch with regulator. Some sconces have the ability to adjust the brightness level of the lighting. For their correct operation, it is better to use special switches. They may have a key, the brightness will increase with each press, or they may be round, the light will gradually become brighter as the control is rotated.
At what height are sconces hung?
What is the ideal sconce height in the bedroom? It all depends on you, there are no criteria.
The optimal height is 1.6 meters from the floor, but the direction of the light and where the switch will be taken into account.
It is very important to choose the right style and design - it is easier to replace the lamp power.
Because sconces are not just bed lighting, but also a means by which interior items can be highlighted, nothing prevents you from placing the lamps as needed by design.
If you are going to select a bed without turning on the overhead light, then you can install it not above the bed itself, but as if near it.
This is, in principle, the answer to the question of what sconces are hung in the bedroom, and how to add intimacy to the bedroom. Everyone will have the opportunity to relax while reading their favorite literature.
Lamps and interior style
In order for sconces to harmoniously complement the bedroom interior, they must support the overall style of the room.
For classic bedrooms, glass and crystal lamps with gold and silver elements are suitable. Candle lamps look great in classics.
For a Japanese-style bedroom, themed lanterns with hieroglyphs or an image of sakura are suitable.
For Provence style, a sconce with a lampshade with small floral patterns is suitable.
For a bedroom in a minimalist style, laconic round and cubic lamps made of white frosted glass are suitable.
In the high-tech style, appropriate sconces of unusual shapes made of glass, plastic and metal of different colors.
The rustic style is characterized by woven and wicker lampshades. The stylization of the sconce under a kerosene lamp looks especially colorful.
For loft bedrooms, rough lamps that imitate lamps in industrial premises are suitable.
