This holiday season your home will play host to family and friends, so preparing the guest bedroom for a welcoming stay is essential.
A large part of your guests' comfort has to do with good lighting and the ability for them to control the ambiance when it comes to resting, reading, etc. This season prepare your guest bedrooms with these simple tips for maximizing wall lighting options...
Determine how much light your guests will need and choose lighting to match your decor.
Depending on the size of your guest bedroom and the seating areas will help you determine what type of lighting works best. I love this guest bedroom above by Henderson Design Group. It looks stunning and provides sufficient lighting. Guests rarely will ask for more lighting so be sure to provide stylish wall lighting and suitable table lamps for the best lighting options.
When looking for wall lighting, swing arm lamps are ideal next to the bed. The ability to swivel the arm and serve multiple lighting purposes is ideal.
This wall lamp below has just the right organic appeal to match any Autumn holiday bedroom with neutral brown tones. The espresso finish and burlap fabric drum shade will create a soft glow in your guest room that guests will enjoy reading next to.

While wall lighting is functional, it can also contribute to the decorative side of your guest bedroom. Consider using canned or recessed lighting in the ceiling for added versatility.
You can also add a dimmer switch to any of these lighting options and give your guests a room that changes with their mood.
Decide how much natural light and artificial light is needed.
This holiday season prepare your guest room with lighting that's versatile, beautiful and above all, welcoming. From deciding how much lighting they need to choosing lighting that matches the guest room decor, there's a perfect wall light for your guest room this holiday season.
