Have you ever thought about how in both small spaces and large spaces - something that you might otherwise overlook because it is small can have big style impact?
When we remodeled our bathroom recently, I searched and searched for THE perfect sconce lights for the sink area.
I wanted something vintage inspired. Something that made a big statement and added to the overall charm and look of the bathroom - and also something that fit in seamlessly so that it was not the only thing you saw when you walked in.
A tall order, right? But when you are working with a space and looking for the perfect wall lamps- it can be hard to know just what style is the right one for you. Vintage? Industrial? Modern? Simple and classic? Unique? How do you choose?
Start with your room.
Consider the style and colors in your space - and also the light needed. Some rooms are naturally light filled with plenty of windows - but others are not. This room is flooded with natural light and doesn't need a lot of lighting - so a wall sconce works perfectly.
In this space - the style of the lights is the most important thing to consider.
These lights are very vintage and French in style, and if you were to choose modern lights - it would change the whole look. Which comes back to if the lights stand out or mesh with the space seamlessly and what you prefer.
In this room - the wall sconces are far from simple.The metal finish and the shades speak volumes about the style of the decor - but keep thing simple on the nightstand. With no lamps taking up space - there is more room for flower and reading material.
Whether you keep wall sconces cohesive with the rest of the room, or you choose something that stands out - consider your lighting needs and your style and then have fun finding your beautiful perfect lamps.
Do you have any wall lamps in your home? What style is your favorite?
